Assembly and Operation Instructions

SPREADER CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS

Professional turf managers only purchase spreaders that can

be calibrated. National brand spreaders cannot be calibrated

and thus provide poor results. To achieve optimal accuracy,

we recommend you check your calibration every other year.

Open the spreader gauge to #30, inside the hopper, move

control plate to the full open.

1. Open the shut-off so that the drop holes are completely

open as illustrated to the right.

2. Review the Control Lever position—if it is set so that the

forward edge is at #30, you are calibrated. If not, you need

to adjust the control rod at the pivot bracket shown

A. If your shut-off is not able to open fully as in step #1.

Loosen the top nut a few turns, then loosen the lower

nut so that it allows you to push the shut-off open fully.

Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot bracket without moving it, and then carefully tighten each

nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjustment as outlined in #1 above.

B. If your shut-off is able to open fully as in step #1, but the Control Lever is not at #30. Loosen the top nut a few

turns, then loosen the lower nut so that it allows you to push the Control Lever to #30.

Next tighten each nut so that they contact the pivot bracket without moving it. Carefully

tighten each nut fully so they do not loosen during use. Recheck adjust as outlined in #1

above.
