Field Test

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. NOTE: Do not load spreader.

   Verify machine has been properly serviced and oil reservoir is full.

3. Set spinner to 700 RPM.

4. CAUTION: 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 box or on any other part of the spreader as there is danger of falling off the vehicle or into moving parts. Use great care in performing this test.

   A - Conveyor Belt Master On/Off Switch

   Enable conveyor belt master on/off switch (A).

8. Begin forward travel. Vary speed through out the course.

   NOTE: Conveyor should start immediately when vehicle moves and should continue to run at speeds which vary directly with the vehicle 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.
