How to Spread Material from the Cross Conveyor

1. Turn off the tow vehicle.
2. On SH models using the control levers, turn on the
option and the conveyor belt (unload position).
3. Open the adjustable section of the rear gate to allow
for the desired flow rate. You may have to
experiment until you get the desired flow and spread
depth. Other variables include ground speed and the
type of material.
4. Turn on the tow vehicle hydraulics.
5. On EH models operate the option and the conveyer
belt with the control pendant.
6. On SH models turn off the tow vehicle hydraulics to
stop material movement, or turn off the on/off
pendant switch.
Note – For SH models the on/off pendant switch stops the
MH-400 conveyor belt, not the cross conveyor.
7. When finishing using the cross conveyor, always
return it to the center position.
