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.   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. Conveyor
should not move.
5.   Set program in control console 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 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!
