21. Move flow control arm to off position and slide flow

control mounting bracket toward hopper until clo-

sure plate (located in bottom of hopper) is com-

pletely closed. Tighten 1/4" hex lock nuts as-

sembled in step 19. See figure 14.

22. Pre-lubricate per lubrication section on page 9

before operating spreader.

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to

be covered and estimate amount of material re-

quired.

2. With flow control arm in the off position, set flow

rate gauge at the number indicated in flow rate

chart - light or heavy application rate. Also refer

to the bag instructions for manufacturers recom-

mended settings.

3. Break up lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper.

4. To broadcast, always start tractor in motion be-

fore opening closure plate. Do not allow tractor

to sit stationary with flow control arm in the on

position. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited to

heavily in a small area, soak down thoroughly with

garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of

lawn.

IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on

chart) are affected by humidity and moisture

content of material (granular and pellet); there-

fore, minor setting adjustments may be neces-

sary to compensate for this condition. The

rate chart is calculated for light and heavy

application. The faster you drive, the wider the

broadcast width. A variation in speed will

determine the flow rates and width of broad-

cast.

When broadcasting weed control fer-

tilizers make sure broadcast pattern

does not hit evergreen trees, flowers

or shrubs.

OPERATION

The application spray pattern should overlap to insure

uniform coverage at the edges. The approximate

distance between each pass is shown in the applica-

tion diagram. See figure 15.

APPLICATION DIAGRAM

FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT

(SEE FIGURE 16)

1. Push back on the flow control arm to the off

position and pull forward to the on position. The

higher the number on the flow rate gauge the

larger the opening in the bottom of the hopper.

2. REFER TO FLOW RATE CHART AND INSTRUC-

TIONS ON FERTILIZER BAG TO SELECT

PROPER FLOW RATE SETTING.

3. Loosen the hand knob to set the flow gauge to the

desired flow setting and tighten the hand knob.

4. Always move flow control arm to off position be-

fore stopping or turning spreader.

5. The spreader should be moving before you move

the flow control arm to the on position.

LUBRICATION

(SEE FIGURE 19)

1. Apply a little automotive grease to the sprocket

and gear.

2. Oil nylon bushings on sprocket shaft as shown in

figure 19.

3. Oil axle/shaft bushing on axle as shown in figure

19.

4. Oil right hand wheel bearing as needed.

6. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover

over the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl

cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but

should not be used as a rain cover. See figure 18.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

1. Do not store spreader with any material in hopper.

2. Clean your spreader after use. lush thoroughly

with water.

3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket

assembly is disassembled, be sure to mark posi-

tion of parts as they are removed. Drive wheel

and sprocket position determine relation direction

of spreader plate. With reassembly of gear and

sprocket use shim washers as needed for mini-

mum backlash. Add grease to gear and sprocket.

4. If agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can

be replaced. Loosen 3/8" lock nut on the top of

sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove

old agitator wire from hole in agitator sleeve and

replace with new agitator wire. Position agitator

wire so that sprocket shaft turns freely and tighten

3/8" lock nut on top of sprocket shaft. See figure

17.
