CHECK SPREADER FOR COMPLETE SHUTOFF
.
Pull the on/off control lever back to the “OFF”
position. Determine if the holes in the hopper are
completely closed as shown below. Also make sure shut
off plate is not closing too far which will cause the control
lever to bind. If adjustment is needed, loosen
the two
carriage bolts holding the upper handle to the leg/brace
assembled in step #3. The holes in the handle are slotted
to allow the upper handle to be moved. Slide the upper
handle toward the hopper to increase the shutoff, move
handle in the opposite direction to reduce shutoff.
Re-tighten bolts and recheck shutoff
.
