OPERATION Operation The Fan speed and the spread width are controlled by the speed of the vehicle. The recommended operating speed is slightly faster than that of a brisk walk, approximately 3 MPH (equal to the vehicle traveling 40 ft. in 9 seconds). The Gage Plate Assembly operates the Flow Control Gate. The Gage Plate is marked from 0 (closed) to 10(fully open). The position selected determines the amount of material to be broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the application of material.
