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

control mounting bracket in place.

d. Set adjustable stop at "5". Pull ow 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 ow 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 gure 13 on page 7.)

1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to

the desired ow 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

ow rate setting.

3. Pull the ow 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 difculty 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 lling the hopper make sure the ow control arm

is in the off position and the closure plate is shut.

3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you ll the hopper.

4. Set the adjustable stop with the ow 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 ow 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 ow rate to maintain the same coverage. The

faster you walk, the wider the broadcast width.

6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening

the closure plate.

7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping

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 gure 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,

owers or shrubs.

IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart

adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this

condition.

FIGURE 15

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 inated before each use.

Do not inate 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 inate 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 gure 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

REPLACING SLOTTED GEAR

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

sembled, 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 gure 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.

SLOTTED GEAR

LOCKED UP SPREADER

1. Turn the spreader over so that the wheels are off the

ground.

2. Loosen all three nuts on the shaft support plate just

enough so that the bolts can be turned easily with a

wrench but cannot be turned by hand.

3. Spin the drive wheel and note how freely it spins and

how much noise the slotted gear makes.

4. To free up the wheel and gear, tap gently on the front

or rear edge of the shaft support plate to move it

slightly forward or backward. You can also tap at the

corners of the plate to angle it slightly.

5. Spin the drive wheel after each adjustment to see if it

spins more freely and if the gear noise is reduced.

6. Continue making slight adjustments until you nd the

position where the drive wheel spins most freely and

the gear makes the least noise.

7. Secure the shaft support plate in this position by

retightening all three nuts that you loosened.
