The  spreader  is  stopped  by  releasing  the  control  lever  or  by  shutting  down  the  loader,  making  the
attachment will stop. There is no separate stop switch on the spreader. See safe stopping procedure shown
in page 6.

When  using  the  spreader,  keep  it  in  an  upright  position  at  a  suitable  height  from  the  ground,  so  that  the
lowest  part  of  the  spreader  will  never  hit  the  ground,  or  any  obstacles,  at  any  conditions.  The  spreader  is
designed to be used to its intended rotating direction only. The rubber lip plate and the sweeping plate (see
section 7.2) may get damaged, if the spreader is not used properly. If material does not come out from the
spreader or it comes out poorly, first check the direction of rotation and then the settings of the spreader (see
section 6.3).

Adjusting the spreader

The spreader can be used with one or two loader auxiliary hydraulic pumps, depending on the model of the
loader, as well as the driving speed, the settings of the spreader and the type of the material being spread.
Generally more fine-grained material will require greater auxiliary hydraulic flow.

The adjustable lower plate of the spreader, shown below in chapter 6.3.1., should be set according the type
of the material being spread. The spreader is also equipped with a hydraulic flow control valve for adjusting
the rate of spreading for different driving conditions. The tilting of the spreader slightly affects the amount of
spreaded material.

6.3.1.

 

Adjustable lower plate

The lower plate of the spreader is adjusted by moving the screw
setting with tools. For more sand or larger grain material, move
the fixing point shown in adjacent picture to the right. Move the
fixing point a little at a time, as opening the plate too much will
lead to the sand being drained from the spreader.

The  setting  of  the  lower  plate  is  adjusted  according  to  the
desired amount of material, driving style and  the  loader model.
The  best  adjustments  according  to  loader  and  material  type
may be found by testing the setting and adjusting as necessary.

6.3.2.

 

Hydraulic flow control

The spreader is equipped with a hydraulic flow control valve for
more  accurate  control  of  the  spreading.  With  the  valve  the
spreader can be adjusted according to the loader model in use
and the operating conditions as well as the driving speed.

For more flow to the spreader and more sand, turn the adjusting
screw (number 1 in adjacent figure) counter clockwise. Lock the
setting  by tightening  the locking  screw  (2)  against  the  valve.  If
you  want  to  use  high  loader  engine  revolutions,  but  limit  the
spreading  rate,  switch  the  loader  auxiliary  hydraulics  control to
one-pump  setting  first.  Then  adjust  the  control  valve  on  the
spreader by turning the screw clockwise.
