OPERATION

HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER

SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL

(Refer to figure 16 on page 7.)

1. Loosen the 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 this page 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. Push the flow control arm toward

the hopper and then over into the locking notch for

the off position.

USING YOUR SPREADER

iMPORTANT: Do not exceed 6 mph. Speeds above 6 mph

may cause excessive wear of the spreader gears.

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. Make sure the flow plate is closed.

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

4. Refer to the instructions on the fertilizer bag and to

the application chart on this page to set the adjustable

stop to the proper flow rate setting. 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 broadcast

width may increase as speed increases. Do not

exceed 6 mph.

5. Always start the tractor in motion before opening the

flow plate.

6. Always close the flow plate before turning or stopping

the tractor.

7. 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.

8. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that

the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern

from the previous pass as shown in figure 17. The

approximate broadcast widths for different materials

are shown in the application chart on this page.

9. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make

sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen

trees, flowers or shrubs.

10. Heavy moisture conditions may' require use of a vinyl

hopper cover to keep contents dry'.The cover acts as a

wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a

rain cover. The #41316 cover can be ordered as an

option. See pages 18 and 19.

IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are

affected by humidity and bythe moisture content of the material

(granular and pellet). Some minor setting adjustments may

be necessary to compensate for this condition.
