ACCUWAY® - What It Does

The 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.

ACCUWAY® - How It Works

Accuway® shifts the material placement on the spreader 
spinner fan. This in turn, balances the pattern heavier to 
the right or heavier to the left.

Spread pattern can be affected by many variables such 
as humidity, temperature, wind, spreader condition, 
speed of travel, material size and weight.  Because of 
these variables, the diffuser must be adjusted for each 
type of application.  Proper adjustment will minimize 
skewing and uneven coverage.

Adjustment is very sensitive.  Turning the Accuway® 
Diffuser Knob just a little will result in a drastic change to 
the spread pattern.

The Accuway® Diffuser Plate has a front and a rear 
ramp.  Never adjust so that the diffuser plate splits the 
material fl ow to both the front and rear ramp at the 
same time.

If the spreader is spreading to the left of center, turn 
the diffuser knob counterclockwise fully.  Then adjust 
clockwise until the edge of the diffuser plate centers the 
spread.  

If the spreader is spreading to the right of center, turn 
the diffuser knob clockwise fully.  Adjust counterclockwise 
until the edge of the diffuse plate centers the spread.

NEVER USE ACCUWAY FRONT AND REAR RAMPS TO 
SPLIT THE PRODUCT FLOW. Use only the front side or 
the back side. With proper adjustment you should be 
able to achieve a balanced spread pattern.

Spreader does not sit fl at

The "feet" or the fl attened 
portion of the spreader hopper 
support tubes are not bent 
equally.

Using a hammer or pliers, 
bend the feet to be equal with 
each other.

Defl ector shut off is binding 
and will not open/close 
properly

Shut off plate is jammed with 
debris.

Thoroughly wash out hopper 
and shut off plates with water.  
Ensure debris is not stuck 
between shut off plate and 
rate gate plate.
