INTRODUCTION
• Distribute load evenly for safe travel and unloading of cart.
Introduction
• Do not obstruct the operator’s view during use.
Using Your Operator’s Manual
Read this entire operator’s manual, especially the safety information,
before operating.
Towing Loads Safely
• Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load. Travel
slowly and allow extra time and distance to stop.
This manual is an important part of your machine. Keep all manuals in a
convenient location so they can be accessed easily.
• Total towed weight must not exceed limits specified in towing vehicle
operator’s manual.
Use the safety and operating information in the attachment operator’s
manual, along with the machine operator’s manual, to operate and service
the attachment safely and correctly.
• Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on
slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes.
If your attachment manual has a section called Preparing the Machine, it
means that you will have to do something to your tractor or vehicle before
you can install the attachment. The Assembly and Installation sections of
this manual provide information to assemble and install the attachment to
your tractor or vehicle. Use the Service section to make any needed
adjustments and routine service to your attachment.
• Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
• Use only approved hitches. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch
designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the
approved hitch point.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limits for towed
equipment and towing on slopes. Use counterweights or wheel weights as
described in the machine operator’s manual.
If you have any questions or concerns with the assembly, installation, or
operation of this attachment, see your local John Deere dealer or call John
Deere Special Services at 1-866-218-8622 for assistance.
• Do not turn sharply. Use additional caution when turning or operating
under adverse surface conditions. Use care when reversing.
Warranty information on this John Deere attachment can be found in the
warranty that came with your John Deere tractor or vehicle.
• Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.
Protect Bystanders
Product Identification
• Keep bystanders away when you operate a towed attachment.
Product Compatibility
This spreader is designed for use with Lawn Tractors and Lawn and
Garden Tractors.
• Before you back machine and attachment, look carefully behind
attachment for bystanders.
Keep Riders Off Towed Attachment
Keep riders off of a towed attachment.
Riders on a towed attachment are subject to injury, such as being struck
by objects and being thrown off the attachment during sudden starts,
stops and turns.
Safety
Read Safety in Machine Operator’s Manual
Read the general safety operating precautions in your machine operator’s
manual for additional safety information.
Riders obstruct the operator's view, resulting in the attachment being used
in an unsafe manner.
Keep riders off of hitch bracket.
Operate Safely
Avoid Injury From Drawbar
Before you disconnect an attachment from machine hitch plate:
• This attachment is intended for use in lawn care and home applications.
Do not tow behind a vehicle on a highway or in any high speed application.
Do not tow at speeds higher than maximum recommended towing speed.
• Unload attachment.
• Towing speed should always be slow enough to maintain control. Travel
slowly over rough ground.
• Stop attachment on level ground.
• Stop machine engine.
• Do not let children or an untrained person operate machine.
• Lock machine park brake.
• Do not let anyone, especially children, ride on machine or attachment.
Riders are subject to injury such as being struck by foreign objects and
being thrown off. Riders may also obstruct the operator’s view, resulting in
the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
• Block attachment wheels.
• Make sure hands, feet or other body parts are not under drawbar.
• Check machine brake action before you operate. Adjust or service
brakes as necessary.
• Keep all nuts and bolts tight to be sure the equipment is in safe working
condition.
• Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage
immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Replace all worn or damaged
safety and instruction decals.
• Do not modify machine or safety devices. Unauthorized modifications to
the machine or attachment may impair its function and safety.
• Securely anchor all loads to prevent loads from falling.

Storing
The spreader can be tipped upright and stored against a wall using less
space:
1. Remove any loose material from hopper and fan using a brush and
garden hose. The spreader should be clean and dry before storing.
2. Roll spreader to desired storage area, lift hitch clevis to pivot spreader
to vertical position.

❏
Check to make sure tires are inflated to 20 psi (1.3 bar) (138 kPa)
maximum.
Operating the Spreader
B
The fan speed and the spread width are controlled by the speed of the
vehicle. The recommended operating speed is slightly faster than that of a
brisk walk, 3 mph. 3 mph is equal to the vehicle traveling 40 ft in nine
seconds.
C
The flow control assembly operates the flow control plate. The flow control
assembly is marked 0 (closest) to 10 (fully open). The position selected
determine the amount of material to be broadcast. The higher the number,
the heavier the application of material.
A
Flow control setting for many of the common fertilizers, insecticides, and
grass seeds are provided in the alphabetized table listing flow control
settings. If the product is not listed in the flow control settings table, use
the calibration guide to set the flow control.
MX34595
2. Remove 1/8 in. hairpin cotter (A) and hitch pin (B) from hitch clevis (C)
of spreader.
The agitator spring located inside the hopper provides consistent material
flow of pelletized materials and seed. It is not designed to break up lumps
of material or seed. Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
3. Pull spreader forward and position hitch clevis to straddle machine rear
hitch plate or drawbar (not shown). Align all hitch pin holes, then install
hitch pin down through hitch clevis and machine hitch, securing with 1/8
in. hairpin cotter.
After determining the correct setting number for your material, loosen
knob and move stop bracket to that position. Tighten knob. Move flow
control handle to the lock position to open the flow control plate.

One Side Only Spreading
Directional Control
Normal Operation (Uniform Spreading)
Fertilizers, insecticides, and grass seed each have different particle size
and weight. This can be referred to as particle density. As the particles are
impacted by the fan, the distribution can be centered or slightly off center
depending on particle density and forward vehicle speed.

MX25911
The directional control plate can be used for adjusting the material spread
pattern when spreading near sidewalks (C), planting beds (D), etc. With
the plate adjusted to the left side (E), the directional control plate only
operates with 90% shut-off of material to the right side (F) of the vehicle as
shown in the illustration above.
Adjustment can be made by moving the direction control plate (A) to the
right or left.
Operating Tips
• Always operate your spreader with the speed limit for which it was
designed - 3 mph.
B
• When backing, carefully back straight to avoid jack knifing, which could
result in damage to equipment.
• Only tow your spreader behind vehicles for which it was designed -
riders, and lawn and garden tractors.
• Do not load the hopper with more than the maximum weight capacity of
79 kg (175 lb).
• Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
• Do not use on windy days, especially when spreading fine grass seed or
herbicides.
• Optimum hitch height is 18 - 23 cm (7- 9 in.).
• The flow control handle should have resistance to movement. Increase
or decrease spring tension as required to get desired flow control handle
resistance.
MX40313
The directional decal located below the directional control plate will aid
you in adjusting the spread pattern. For most applications the plate should
be placed close to the center position (B) described by the label above. If
the material is coming out right or left during operation, adjustment of this
plate should be made to center the material distribution pattern behind the
vehicle. Your broadcast spreader has a patented feature to allow you to
adjust for centering.
Service
Maintenance Tips
• The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your spreader clean
and dry.
• Never allow material to remain in hopper for extended periods of time.
• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with enamel.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use. Move flow
control as you rinse, to avoid build up of material.
