OPERATION  
The application spray pattern should overlap to insure  
uniform coverage at the edges. The approximate  
distance between each pass is shown in the applica-  
tion diagram. See figure 15.

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to  
be covered and estimate amount of material re-  
quired.  
OVERLAP  
2. With flow control arm in the off position, set flow  
rate gauge at the number indicated in flow rate  
chart - light or heavy application rate. Also refer  
to the bag instructions for manufacturers recom-  
mended settings.  
FIGRUE 15  
FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT  
3. Break up lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper.  
(SEE FIGURE 16)  
4. To broadcast, always start tractor in motion be-  
fore opening closure plate. Do not allow tractor  
to sit stationary with flow control arm in the on  
position. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited to  
heavily in a small area, soak down thoroughly with  
garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of  
lawn.  
1. Push back on the flow control arm to the off  
position and pull forward to the on position. The  
higher the number on the flow rate gauge the  
larger the opening in the bottom of the hopper.  
2. REFER TO FLOW RATE CHART AND INSTRUC-  
TIONS ON FERTILIZER BAG TO SELECT  
PROPER FLOW RATE SETTING.  
3. Loosen the hand knob to set the flow gauge to the  
desired flow setting and tighten the hand knob.  
4. Always move flow control arm to off position be-  
fore stopping or turning spreader.  
5. The spreader should be moving before you move  
the flow control arm to the on position.  
IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on  
chart) are affected by humidity and moisture  
content of material (granular and pellet); there-  
fore, minor setting adjustments may be neces-  
sary to compensate for this condition. The  
rate chart is calculated for light and heavy  
application. The faster you drive, the wider the  
broadcast width. A variation in speed will  
determine the flow rates and width of broad-  
cast.

CAUTION  
When broadcasting weed control fer-  
tilizers make sure broadcast pattern  
does not hit evergreen trees, flowers  
or shrubs.

6. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover  
over the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl  
cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but  
should not be used as a rain cover. See figure 18.  
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE  
1. Do not store spreader with any material in hopper.  
2. Clean your spreader after use. Flush thoroughly  
with water.

COVER  
3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket  
assembly is disassembled, be sure to mark posi-  
tion of parts as they are removed. Drive wheel  
and sprocket position determine relation direction  
of spreader plate. With reassembly of gear and  
sprocket use shim washers as needed for mini-  
mum backlash. Add grease to gear and sprocket.

4. If agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can  
be replaced. Loosen 3/8" lock nut on the top of  
sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove  
old agitator wire from hole in agitator sleeve and  
replace with new agitator wire. Position agitator  
wire so that sprocket shaft turns freely and tighten  
3/8" lock nut on top of sprocket shaft. See figure  
17.
