Field Testing
The following procedure is a guide:
NOTE: Do NOT fill speader with material
1� Field test over any suitable course which allows vehicle to be driven at speeds to be used while spreading�
2� Ensure unit has been properly serviced, that the hydraulic reservoir is full and gate valve under reservoir
is fully open as applicable� Do not load spreader�
3� Run spinners at 500 RPM�
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!
Start engine� Turn control to “on’’ position� Engage hydraulics 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�
Refer to controller’s operation manual for conveyor operating instructions�
Set program to operational mode and begin forward travel� Move conveyor switch to “on’’ position�
Conveyor should start immediately when vehicle moves and should continue to run at speeds which should
vary directly with the vehicle’s ground speed; the conveyor should speed up as vehicle speed increases and
slow down as vehicle speed reduces� Spinner speed should remain constant when engine speed is above
minimum operating range�
