(gures 10 and 11):

a. Set the adjustable stop at “5.” Latch the ow control

lever against the stop. Verify that the closure plate

has opened about halfway. See gure 10.

b. If closure plate is not open halfway, adjust the position

of the ow control mounting bracket until the closure

plate is open about halfway at “5” and still closed when

the lever is in the “OFF” position. Carefully tighten

the 1/4 in. nylock nuts. Do not deform the slots in the

ow control mounting bracket.

c. Push the ow control lever to the “OFF” position

and ensure the closure plate closes completely.

See gure 11.

13. Install the adjustable stop on the slot in the top of

the ow control mounting bracket. Secure with the

the ends into the clips in the hopper. The screen helps

break up clumpy material and prevents large clumps

from reaching the bottom of the hopper and clogging

the opening. See gure 12.

MAINTENANCE section on page 9.

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

tighten the thumbscrew so the plate is pushed inward.

See gure 13

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

loosen the thumbscrew so the plate is pulled outwards.

See gure 13

OPERATION

HOw TO USE YOUR SPREADER

SETTING THE FLOw CONTROL

(Refer to gure 10 on page 6.)

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 lever back and latch to the adjustable

stop for the “ON” position. Unlatch and push 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 located between the gate opening and

the spreader plate.

The adjustment of the pattern plate is sensitive and it is

recommended to test your spread pattern in a small area

rst.

45_0382Fig16

THUMB SCREW

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, make sure the ow control lever

is in the “OFF” position and the closure plate is shut.

3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you ll the hopper.

4. Set the adjustable stop with the ow control lever still

in the “OFF” position. Refer to the Application Chart on

page 8 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to

select the proper ow rate setting.

5. The Application Chart on page 8 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 walk, 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.

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

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 14. The approximate

broadcast widths for different materials are shown in

the Application Diagram gure 14.

10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure

the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,

owers or shrubs.

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 on tire.

CLEANING

4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and

allow to dry before storing.

LUBRICATE (See gure 15)

5. Remove one small and two large hairpins and separate

the gearbox housings.

6. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the

sprocket and gear.

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 drive wheel and large gear positions, in relation

to the small gear, determine 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 25

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 sprocket shaft and replace with new agitator

hairpin. See gure 16.
