OPERATION

HOW TO uSE YOuR SPREADER

SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL

(Refertogure16and17)

1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to

thedesiredowratesettingandretightenthewingnut.

The higher the setting number, the wider the opening

in the bottom of the hopper.

2. Refer to the Application Chart on page 8 and to the

instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper

owratesetting.

3. Pulltheowcontrolarmfromthe"OFF"positionand

rest it against the adjustable stop for the “ON” position.

Push the ow control arm past the stop, toward the

hopper for the “OFF” position.

uSING THE PATTERN ADJuSTMENT PLATE

The pattern adjustment plate is used to adjust the ow

of material being spread to the left or right side. The

pattern adjustment plate is the bottom stainless steel plate

underneath the hopper.

The adjustment of the pattern plate is sensitive. It is

recommended that you test your spread pattern in a small

arearst.

1. Toadjusttheowtobeheaviertotheleftside,tighten

the thumbscrew so the plate will not pull out as far.

2. To adjust the ow to be heavier to the right side,

loosen the thumbscrew so the plate will pull out farther.

uSING YOuR SPREADER

The use of powdered lawn chemicals is not recommended,

due to difculty in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent

broadcast pattern.

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be

covered and estimate amount of material required.

2. Beforellingthehopper,settheadjustablestoptothe

proper setting.Refer to the Application Chart on this page

and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the

properowratesetting.

3. Movetheowcontrolarmpasttheadjustablestoptothe

“OFF” position so that the closure plate is shut.

4. Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.

5. The Application Chart is calculated for light-to-heavy

application at a walking speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23

seconds. A variation in speed will require an adjustment

oftheowratetomaintainthesamecoverage.Thefaster

you travel, the wider the broadcast width.

6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening the

closure plate.

7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping

the spreader.

8. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small

area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or

sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.

9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the

broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the

previouspassasshowningure19.Theapproximate

broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the

Application Diagramgure19.

IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are

affected by humidity and by the moisture content of

the material (granular and pellet). Some minor setting

adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this

MAINTENANCE

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

1. Before each use, make a thorough visual check of

the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have

loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

CHECK FOR WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS

2. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.

Repair or replace parts if necessary.

CHECK TIRE INFLATION

3. Checkiftiresareadequatelyinatedbeforeeachuse.

Do not inate tires beyond maximum recommended

pressure.

CLEANING

4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and

allow to dry before storing.

LuBRICATE(Seegure20)

5. Remove one small and two large hairpins and separate

the gearbox housings.

6. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the

gears.

7. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft.

Apply grease to the axle at least once a year, or more

often as needed.

8. Oil (idler) wheel at least once a year or more often as

needed.

9. Install gearbox housings and secure with hairpins.

STORAGE

1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and

allow to dry before storing.

2. Store in a clean, dry area.

SERVICE AND ADJuSTMENTS

1. If the axle and gear assembly is disassembled, mark

down the positions of the parts as they are removed.

The large gear position in relation to the small gear

determines which direction the spreader plate will

spin. Be sure to reassemble them in their original

positions. (Refer to parts exploded view on page 10).

Ensure washer (Refer to item 33 on page 10 and 11)

is in place when assembling the axle components.

Add grease to gears.

2. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn, it

can be replaced. Remove old agitator hairpin from

hole in impeller shaft and replace with new agitator

hairpin.Seegure21.
