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.

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 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.

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 this

page 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 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.

IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are

affected by humidity and by the moisture content of

the material (granular and pellet). Some minor set-

ting adjustments may be necessary to compensate

for this condition.

FIGURE 15

FIGURE 16

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

1. Before each use make a thorough visual check of

the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have

loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

CHECK FOR WORN OF DAMAGED PARTS

2. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.

Repair or replace parts if necessary.

CHECK TIRE INFLATION

3. Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use.

Do not inflate tires beyond maximum recommended

pressure.

1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and

dry off before storing.

2. Store in a clean, dry area.

CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires beyond

the maximum recommended pressure

printed on side of tire.

CLEANING

4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and

dry off before storing.

LUBRICATE (See figure 15)

5. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the

sprocket and gear.

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.

MAINTENANCE STORAGE

1. If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is

disassembled, mark down the positions of the parts as

they are removed. The drive wheel and sprocket

positions in relation to the slotted gear determine

which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be sure to

reassemble them in their original positions. (Refer to

figure 3 on page 4.) Use shim washers (Ref. no. 21 on

pages 10 and 11) as needed for minimum backlash.

Add grease to gear and sprocket.

2. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn it

can be replaced. See figure 16.
