Gate Assembly Kit Instructions
Model # GAK-020
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Remove hopper by taking out the two 5/16'' stainless steel bolts located inside the hopper.
Step 2: Remove throat clamp using a 9/16'' wrench or socket.
Step 3: Remove auger using allen key. NOTE: Do not re-install when using gate assembly kit.
Step 4: (Optional) Next determine how long your cable should be. Once you have determined the length, pull control wire
back 3” from your cut off point. This will allow you to travel in your gate control.
Step 5: Thread the brass bulk head connector onto the cable jacket. Then install this assembly onto the gate using the
Step 6: You can now place the gate assembly on to the shaft and position it so that the cable actuator is on the left side
if you are looking at it from the back. Leave the gate body and throat mount loose.
Step 7: Now install the new agitator positioning it so that the bolt is on the upper most part of the shaft flat. Use a small
amount of blue locktite on the bolt before tightening.
Step 8: At the same time place the hopper back into the frame and slip the gate throat mount over the hopper
Step 9: Place the 5/16'' stainless bolts back into the hopper and tighten.
Step 10: Push the gate control up as far as it will go. This will make sure the gate and the spinner will not make contact.
Also makesure the gate throat mount is between the hopper throat and the hopper throat clamp. This will help keep it in
position when you begin to tighten the throat clamp bolts.
Step 11: Take the throat clamp and reinstall making sure that you will be making full contact with the gate throat mount.
Step 12: You now can tighten the gate throat mount to the gate body. Make sure that the shaft is centered front to back. If
not, move the gate body until desired location is determined and tighten bolts on the gate throat mount.
Step 13: Install gate positioning knob into gate slotted opening.
Step 14: When gate has been properly positioned to desired location, drill a 1/4'' hole and install a sheet metal screw or a
pop rivet to ensure gate will not move from the optimum location.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Position the gate locking knob to the desired setting. This will give you a positive reference point for consistent operation.
You will need to look into the hopper with the gate open to get an idea of where to locate the stop.
When using a variable speed controller, you may need to open the gate slightly more than you would if using a standard
on/off control.
Once you have determined the gate position, you can then load the hopper with material and perform a test run. A parking
lot or paved area is the best way to analyze your pattern. This will assist you in tuning your spreader and material to the
specific task.
NOTE: If there is insufficient space between the spinner and gate (at least 1/2”), the hopper throat should be trimmed back
1/2”.
Step 1: Using a ruler, scribe a line 1/2” up from the bottom edge of the throat with a black permanent type marker.
Step 2: Using a hacksaw or sawsal type tool, cut around the hopper throat along the line that was scribed. When you have
completed this, trim away any loose material around edges using sandpaper or a razor knife.
