subheadings therein before set
up or use of this product.
Before operating the ATV Spreader, 1.

An Adjustable Solid Stop is provided 2.
to allow the operator to adjust the

the Thumb Wing Nut (24) located on
the Gauge Assembly (22). Establish
the correct opening, then lock down
the Thumb Wing Nut (24).
