OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.	Right -hand or left-hand reference is determined by
	standing at the rear of the seeder/spreader and
	facing in the direction of travel of the tractor.
2.	Check the register of the control lever indicator with
	the seed gate (material gate). With the seed gate
	closed, the control lever should be in its fully raised
	position. Control lever setting listed on the spread
	charts are to the TOP of the control lever.
	The adjustable pointer/stop below the control
	lever will point to a different setting as follows:
		Top Side
		of Control Lever		2	3	4	5
		Pointer/Stop Reading		4.5	4.75	6	7.25
3.	DO NOT FILL HOPPER (especially with fertilizer)
	and transport over long distances, as it may result in
	packing, causing poor or erratic discharge.
4.	FOR BEST RESULTS use palletized fertilizer, as it
	has little tendency to lump and causes little or no
	dust.
5.	Be sure to sift or break up lumps found in some types
	of granular fertilizer before filling hopper.
6.	Do not use on windy days, especially when spreading
	fine grass seed.
7.	Be extremely careful if you are spreading herbicides,
	as there is the possibility of wind drift or overthrow
	into areas where serious crop/shrub damage could
	occur.		Always follow instructions on chemical
	package.
8.	Raise the seeder/spreader up so the spreader fan is
	30-34 inches above the ground. This will give you
	the best spreading performance. It is also best if the
	seeder/spreader is tilted slightly forward so that the
	spreader fan throws slightly upward. (Use the top
	link to make this adjustment). The PTO shaft
	assembly should not be at a sharp angle – it should
	operate fairly straight or level.
9.	Adjust the tension on the control handle so it moves
	with some resistance, but will remain where you set
	it. Adjust the control handle stop so that at the end of
	the field you can shut the seed gate and, after your
	turn, re-open to your exact setting.
10.	If, by chance, the agitator does become jammed,
	open the feed gate all the way. By sticking a small

rod through the feed gate, the material jamming the agitator can be loosened and removed. After the jam is cleared, reset the feed gate and proceed. Always stop tractor and disengage PTO before dislodging material.

CAUTION!

Do not attempt to use your fingers to clear a jam. Accidental closing of the feed gate could shear a finger off, or leaving the PTO engaged could rotate the agitator, which could pinch or amputate a finger. Be sure that the tractor engine is shut off and the PTO clutch is disengaged before doing any adjustment or repair.

11.When broadcasting fertilizer, always start vehicle in motion before opening feed gate. (Do not allow vehicle to sit stationary with feed gate open). If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak down thoroughly with garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning.

SPREADING INSTRUCTIONS

1.The control handle regulates the opening in the hopper bottom. The calibrated scale determines the size of the opening. Place the control lever at the desired setting.

2.The spread chart in this manual is an approximate guide based on various forward speeds (from 4 mph to

7.5mph). For accurate spreading, calibrate your tractor to operate at the desired speed. A calibrated speedometer is the best and most accurate. If your tractor does not have a speedometer or its accuracy is questionable, then you may calibrate in the following manner:

Set out two markers 88 feet apart. Select proper gear and adjust throttle speed to give the following travel time as shown between the markers. NOTE: You cannot adjust the throttle very much, as you need to maintain 540 rpm PTO speed. (A plus or minus 20 rpm could be tolerated).

1 MPH will travel 88 feet in 60 seconds

4 MPH will travel 88 feet in 15 seconds

5 MPH will travel 88 feet in 12 seconds

6 MPH will travel 88 feet in 10 seconds

7.5MPH will travel 88 feet in 8 seconds After selecting gear and throttle setting to give

desired speed, mark the throttle position in some convenient manner. Check PTO speed to make sure it is near 54 rpm.

3.Check rate chart for suggested setting for material type to be spread.

4.You are now ready to make a trial run to assure accurate results. Close the feed gates and put in a pre- determined amount of material to be spread. Spread this and check the results. Make final adjustments to obtain desired results.

CAUTION!

KEEP ALL PERSONS AWAY FROM THE ROTATING

SPREADER FAN AND THE PTO SHAFT! NEVER OPERATE WHEN ANYONE IS WITHIN 50 FEET OF SEEDER/SPREADER
