Kolpin 86360 - ATV SPREADER - Manual (Page 5)

ASSEMBLY
How to attach to your ATV
 Position the assembled spreader centered on either the front or rear luggage rack on your ATV. Next
using the included “J-Bolts”, connect the rear cross bars to the luggage rack cross bar closet to the
seat or handlebars. Using the 2 included “Double J-Bolts”, attach the spreader to the luggage rack
securing it to the outer most rail on the luggage rack. Tighten all fasteners and cut any excessive
bolt lengths that extend beyond the nuts on the “U & J-Bolts” and smooth if necessary.
OPERATION
If rate settings are not available, use the following
procedure to calculate the setting
1- Determine how much material is to be applied per 1,000 sq/ft.
2- Measure off a distance of 50 feet, preferably on a paved surface such as a parking lot.
3- Weight out enough of the material to be applied to fill the hopper at least half full. Record the weight
for future use.
4- With the unit mounted on the vehicle and the hopper at least half full of the material to be spread,
position the vehicle far enough before the beginning of the 50 foot test area so that the vehicle will
achieve the desired speed before you reach the starting line.
5- Set the rate setting stop at a position that you feel would be an appropriate setting.
6- Start the vehicle in motion and as you cross the starting line (of the 50 feet) move the rate lever to the
open position against the stop. Take care to be aware of what is going on around you when
maintaining control of the vehicle.
7- Continue from the starting line with the unit spreading the material. As you cross the finish line, move
the rate lever to the closed position.
8- Stop the vehicle and note the width of the spread path that as just completed.
9- Return to the start point and empty the remaining material from the hopper into your weighing
container and re-weight.
WARNING: Prior to each use, inspect the mounting hardware and the spreader to
ensure the rigidity of the mount by tightening any loose hardware either on the Spreader
or Luggage Rack mounts.
