INFORMATION ON THE MACHINE
The models in this manual have been designed and made exclusively allowing
the distribution of solid, granular fertilizers and seeds in the field. Their use is
particularly made for gardening and golf courses but can be used in many more
places. These machines are usually used in daylight. If you need to use the
spreader at night or poor visibility, you must use the lighting system of your trac-
tor or some other source to operate safely.
A use different from described above is considered improper. Any modification
made to the machine relieves the manufacturer from any responsibility of dam-
ages or injury that can be caused to operators, third parties, objects or the
spreader.
NAME PLATE
On the hopper of every spreader is a nameplate,which has the model number,
serial number and bar code of your machine. When parts are required, it is nec-
essary to refer to the plate for the model of spreader.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPREADER
The pull type spreader has a fertilizer distributor made of stainless steel, a
spreader disc with (4) adjustable vanes with (4) different settings, in order to
obtain the maximum spreading precision and uniformity in the distribution, de-
pending on the material to be spread.

7
The feeding of the disc is by gravity through an opening located at the bottom of
the hopper, inside of which a mix/agitator is applied, in order to prevent forma-
tion of lumps in the fertilizer. A plate is put in front of the disc to prevent the
speading to the front side of the machine.
The fertilizer delivery is controled by properly opening the shutters in the hopper
bottom, through locking devices operated by levers. The fertilzer spreader and
the agitator are connected through a gearbox with the wheels, so the speed of
the disc is proportionate to the speed of the machine. The switching off and on
of the spreading disc is made by putting or removing the split pin on the axle.
The machine is connected with a ball hitch 1-7/8”.
There is an adjustable tongue so the height
can be adjusted to keep the spreader parallel
with the ground.
The hardness of the steel welded frame, together with the remarkable life of the
hopper, helps to obtain a highest quality level of the pull type spreaders. The
painting is made by an epoxy varnish with successive backing at 150 degrees
celsius with the application of the primer bath, assuring great protection and long
life of the machine.

EQUIPMENT SAFETY GUIDELINES
zSafety of the operator and by standards is one of the main concerns in designing and
developing a spreader. However, every year accidents occur which could have been
avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to handling equip-
ment. You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by observing the following precau-
tions and insist those working with you, or for you, follow them.
zIn order to provide a better view, certain photographs or illustrations in this manual may
show an assembly with a safety shield removed. However, equipment should never be
operated in this condition. Keep all shields in place. If shield removal becomes neces-
sary for repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
zReplace any safety sign that is not readable or is missing. Copies of such safety signs is
shown in this manual.
zNever use alcoholic beverages or drugs that can hinder alertness or coordination while
operating this equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking
prescription medications.
