How To useYour sPreaDer  
REFER

CHARTS  
seTTInG THe Flow ConTrol  
(Refer to figure 13 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.  
OVERLAP  
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.  
FIGure 14  
usInGYour sPreaDer  
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  
condition.  
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  
pageandtotheinstructionsonthefertilizerbagtoselect  
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. Alwaysstartthetractorinmotionbeforeopeningclosure  
plate.  
7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping  
the tractor.  
8. Iffertilizerisaccidentallydepositedtooheavilyinasmall  
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 14. 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. A vinyl cover listed on  
page 11 can be ordered as an option.The vinyl cover  
acts as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be  
used as a rain cover.

ground.  
2. Loosen all three nuts on the shaft support plate just  
enough so that the bolts can be turned easily with a  
wrench but cannot be turned by hand.  
3. Spin the drive wheel and note how freely it spins and  
how much noise the slotted gear makes.  
4. To free up the wheel and gear, tap gently on the front  
or rear edge of the shaft support plate to move it  
slightly forward or backward.You can also tap at the  
corners of the plate to angle it slightly.  
5. Spin the drive wheel after each adjustment to see if it  
spins more freely and if the gear noise is reduced.  
6. Continue making slight adjustments until you find the  
position where the drive wheel spins most freely and  
the gear makes the least noise.  
4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and dry  
off before storing.

6. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft  
and on the axle at least once a year, or more often as  
needed.  
7. Oil right hand (idler) wheel bearing at least once a year  
or more often as needed.
