HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER

SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL (Refer to figure 12 on page 7.)

1.Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to the desired flow 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 flow rate setting.

3.Pull the flow control arm against the adjustable stop for the on position and toward the hopper for the off position.

USING YOUR SPREADER

We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn chemicals, due to difficulty 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 filling the hopper make sure the flow control arm is in the off position and the closure plate is shut.

3.Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.

4.Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in the off position. Refer to the application chart on this page and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow rate setting.

5.The application chart is calculated for light to heavy application at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 seconds. A variation in speed will require an adjustment of the flow rate to maintain the same coverage. The faster you drive, the wider the broadcast width.

6.Always start the tractor in motion before opening closure plate.

7.Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping the tractor.

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 figure 13. The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the application chart on this page.

10.When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs.

11.Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover (available as an accessory) acts as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover. Refer to the parts list on page 19.
