FIELD TESTING
The following procedure is a guide:
1.
Field test over any suitable course which allows vehicle to be driven at speeds to be used
while spreading.
2.
Make sure unit has been properly serviced, that oil reservoir is full and gate valve under
reservoir is fully open. Do not load spreader.
3.
Manual spinner control valve: Set to position “7”.
PWM spinner control valve: Run at 700 RPM.
4.
Start truck engine. Turn control to ''on'' position. Engage PTO and allow to run at fast idle
long enough to bring hydraulic oil up to operating temperature. Spinners should revolve at
moderate speed and the conveyor should not move.
5.
Set program in control console to operational mode and begin forward travel. Move
conveyor switch on console to ''on'' position. Conveyor should start immediately when
vehicle moves and should continue to run at speeds which vary directly with the vehicles
field speed; the conveyor should speed up as truck speed increases and slow down as truck
speed reduces. Spinner speed should remain constant when engine speed is above
minimum operating range.
DANGER
Take proper safety precautions when observing conveyor and spinner speed
while vehicle is in motion! These may include use of suitable mirrors clamped
to permit observation by a safely seated observer, following the spreader in
another vehicle at a safe distance, or other suitable means. Do not stand on
fenders, in body or on any part of spreader as there is danger of falling off the
vehicle or into moving parts! Use great care in performing this test!
