THE FREE WHEELING FEATURE
(Refer to figure 4 on page 5.)
The spreader is equipped with a removable pin in the left
(drive) wheel. Remove the pin to disengage the drive wheel
so that the axle, gears and spreader plate do not rotate.With
the drive wheel disengaged, the spreader may be towed at
speeds up to 20 mph. If the drive wheel is engaged do not
exceed 6 mph.

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. Make sure the drive pin is installed in the axle before
starting the spreader.

11. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,

1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to the
desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut.The
