RECOMMENDATION: When not spreading and the spreader is being
pushed some distance, tip the spreader so only the idle wheel is on
the ground.
Cleaning the Spreader is Part of the Spreading Job.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE - CLEAN AND OIL THE SPREADER
• Method #1 - Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth. Oil all
bearings and bearing areas.
• Method #2 - Wash, rinse, and dry the spreader. Note: Drying
takes time. (Moisture trapped in bearing areas is slow to go.)
Immediately after drying - oil all bearings and moving parts. Make
certain all operations are thorough.
Note: Good "Dry Cleaning" is preferable to poor "Wet Cleaning"
• It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a clean, dry,
oiled surface.
• Again - just before using - oil all bearings and moving parts.
• In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by the handle. In
any case, do not pile weight on the spreader, as excess weight over
a period of time can distort the tires.

BALANCING THE SPREAD - A COMPLICATED PROBLEM WITH A SIMPLE SOLUTION
HERE'S THE PROBLEM - IT'S THE VARIABLES
It's the VARIABLES. Each variable has it's own spread pattern
characteristics.
It's the VARIABLES. They're transposed and mirrored in the Spread
pattern.
TRAVEL SPEED, HUMIDITY AND CONDITION OF PRODUCT ARE
MAJOR FACTORS IN BALANCING THE SPREAD

Accuway - What It Does
Accuway Spread Pattern Equalizer Balances the spread
pattern - Bulls Eye - Dead to the Center of the Spreader. All
products. All spreading conditions. Skewing is eliminated.
Does not change the spread width.
CAUTION: Never, never, never use the Accuway to split the product
flow from the hopper to the spreading spinner.
VARIABLES in product, weather, spreading equipment, spreader
operator, etc., and combinations of variable elements produce
VARIABLES in the spread pattern.
• VARIABLES include product size, weight, shape, surface finish,
hygroscopic or non hygroscopic composition, condition of product
(exposure to humidity, temperature, etc.)
• VARIABLES include spreading rate (light, medium, heavy).
• VARIABLES include size, shape, design of spreading spinner.
• VARIABLES include product dispensing on spreading spinner.
• VARIABLES include condition of the spreader end the spreading
spinner (product build up on the casting vanes, etc.)
• VARIABLES include operator habits, fast or slow walking, tilting
spreader forward or backward or operating spreader in a level
attitude.
Accuway - How It Works
A turn of the spread pattern shifter dial factors the variables.
Shifts the product placement on the spreading spinner.
This in turn balances the spread pattern heavier to right or heavier to
left as required.
Adjustment is very sensitive. (Note the very fine threads on the
Equalizer adjustment stem.)
Viewed from the operators position
To spread heavier left - move the ramp out.
To spread heavier right - move the ramp in.
