| DO
NOT operate tailgate spreader until you
have read the operating instructions and are thoroughly
familiar with all controls and functions. |
|
| 1. |
Unless
otherwise specified, the engagement of the main hydraulic
control valve is designed to be pulled back into a detented
position. In this position pressurized hydraulic oil is
directed through the dual variable adjustment control
valve. |
| 2. |
The
dual variable adjustment control valve is designed to
alter the speed of the auger and of the spinner. Increasing
the speed of the auger will cause more material to be
conveyed to the discharge chute. Increasing the speed
of the spinner will increase the size of the spreading
pattern. The speed at which these are to be operated is
dependent upon the amount of abrasive material and the
amount of chemical which is desired to be applied on a
per lane mile basis. Information on the amount of material
to be applied may be obtained through organizations such
as the Salt Institute and Transfer Technologies. Ground
speed sensing controls and other calibrated controls are
available to more accurately apply material to the roadway.
Contact Little Falls Machine, Inc. for more information.
The dual variable adjustment control valve is also equipped
with an on/off lever for ease of control. The dual variable
adjustment control valve may also be equipped with a high
pressure by-pass valve depending on the type of central
hydraulic pump system. |
 WARNING!
DO
NOT OPERATE OR ALLOW THE AUGER OR THE SPINNER TO
BE OPERATED WHILE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES ARE BEING
PERFORMED. LOOSE CLOTHING AND BODY PARTS MAY BECOME

|
| 3. |
The
maintenance of the tailgate spreader should include
a routine inspection of all connection points to insure
that all bolts, nuts and retaining pins are in place
and properly secured. The hopper should be emptied and
washed after each use to prevent corrosion and solidification
of mixture.
|

THE SPINNER MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND FLYING
DEBRIS MAY CAUSE INJURY. |
|
| 4.

hoses, etc. have been capped or plugged to prevent the
introduction of moisture and contaminants. Empty the
hopper, wash down and apply corrosion resistant coating.
