1. Slot–maximum position
With the wide distribution granular gate lever in
the closed position, turn the dial to the appropriate
setting. When the wide distribution granular gate
lever is pulled to the open position, the granular gate
will open to the set position.
Note: The slot, after setting 9 on the dial, allows the
impeller gate to be opened to the maximum position.
This setting can be used for dry sand, ice melt, or
other materials that are difficult to spread; it may
also be used for hopper cleanout (see Cleaning the
Spreader section).
