The conveyor belt carries the top dressing from the 4 5
hopper, through an adjustable metering gate, into a
rotating brush. The brush catches the top dressing and 3
drives it down into the turf base. Top dressing material 6

INTENDED USE OF TOP DRESSER
The F15B is to be USED ONLY for the application of
properly prepared organic top dressing material.
Properly prepared top dressing is organic material
with a controlled moisture content that has been
screened to remove debris and excess sized
material. The F15B is NOT intended to be used for
any purpose other than the application of properly
prepared top dressing material. 8
