22. Place the adjustable stop into the "ON" end of the

slot in the top of the flow control mounting bracket.

Secure with the 1/4" x 3/4" carriage bolt, a nylon

washer, a 5/16" flat washer and the nylon wing nut.

See figure 12.

23. Position the flow control mounting bracket (figure

13).

a. Push on flow control arm until it locks in "OFF"

position.

b. Slide flow control mounting bracket along tube

until closure plate in bottom of hopper just closes.

c. Snug the 1/4" lock nuts just enough to hold flow

control mounting bracket in place.

d. Set adjustable stop at "5". Pull flow control arm

against stop. Verify that closure plate has opened

about half way.

e. If closure plate does not open half way, it may be

closed too far at "OFF". Adjust position of flow

control mounting bracket until closure plate will

open about half way at "5" and still close when

arm is locked in "OFF". Tighten 1/4" lock nuts.

26. Assemble the spreader shield to the front swivel

brackets using two 1/4" x 3/4" carriage bolts, 5/16"

washers and the two 1/4" plastic knobs. See figure

15.

27. Assemble the spreader shield to the rear swivel

brackets using two 1/4" x 1" hex bolts, four 5/16"

washers and two 1/4" Nylock nuts. Tighten the nuts

so that the swivel bracket can still pivot freely. See

figure 15.

28. Place the hopper screen down into the hopper to help

break up clumpy material and to prevent large clumps

from reaching the bottom of the hopper and clogging

the opening. See figure 16.

24. Attach an angle stop bracket and a swivel bracket to

the rear hole in the R.H. shield bracket using a 1/4" x

1" hex bolt, two 5/16" washers, a nylon washer and a

1/4" Nylock nut. Place the angle stop bracket on the

inside and the swivel bracket on the outside. Tighten

the locknut so that the swivel bracket can pivot freely.

See figure 14. Repeat step on L.H. shield bracket.

25. Attach a swivel bracket to the front hole in the R.H.

shield bracket using a 1/4" x 1" hex bolt, two 5/16"

washers, a nylon washer and a 1/4" Nylock nut.Tighten

the nut so that the swivel bracket can pivot freely. See

figure 14. Repeat step on L.H. shield bracket.

29. Lubricate the spreader following the instructions in the

maintenance section on page 11.

HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER

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.

2. Refer to the application chart on page 10 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.

OPERATION

USING YOUR SPREADER

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 page

10 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select

the proper flow rate setting.

5. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy

application at a walking 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 walk, the wider the broad-

cast width.

6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening

the closure plate.

7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stop-

ping the spreader.

8. 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.

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 17. 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. Lower the spreader shield to

limit the dispersal pattern. Reduce the flow control

setting according to the application chart on page 10.

FIGURE 17

APPLICATION DIAGRAM

11. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over

the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover

(available as an accessory) acts as a wind and mois-

ture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover.

Refer to the parts list on page 13.

IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are

material (granular and pellet). Some minor setting

adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this

condition.
