ATTENTION:

When broadcasting weed control

pattern does not hit evergreen trees,

flowers or shrubs.

FLOW RATE CHART

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be

covered and estimate amount of fertilizer or seed

required.

2. With flow control arm in off position, set flow rate

gauge at number indicated in flow rate chart for light or

heavy application rate. Also, refer to instructions on

bag for manufacturers recommended settings.

3. Break up lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper.

4. To broadcast, always have spreader in motion before

opening closure plate. Do not allow spreader to sit

stationary with flow control arm in ON position. If

fertilizer is accidentally deposited to heavily in small

area, soak down thoroughly with garden hose to pre-

vent burning of lawn.

IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on chart)

are affected by humidity and mixture content of

material (granular and pellet); therefore, minor

adjustment settings may be necessary to compen-

sate for this condition. The rate chart is calculated

for light and heavy application. The faster you

walk, the wider the broadcast width. A variation in

speed will determine the flow rates and width of

broadcast.

FIGURE 16

OPERATION

The application spread pattern should overlap to insure

uniform coverage at the edges. The approximate distance

between each pass is shown in the application diagram.

See figure 15.

FIGURE 15

FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT

1. Push forward on the flow control arm to the off posi-

tion and pull back to the on position. The higher the

number on flow rate gauge the larger the opening in the

bottom of the hopper. See figure 16.

2. REFER TO THE FLOW RATE CHART AND TO

INSTRUCTIONS 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 before

stopping or turning spreader.

5. The spreader should be moving before you move the

flow control arm to the on position.

3 .P.H. is equivalent to traveling 100 feet in 23 seconds.

Do not use powdered lime, only

for use.

NOTE

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

1. Do not store spreader with any material in hopper.

2. Clean your spreader after use. Flush thoroughly with

water.

3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket assembly

is disassembled, be sure to mark position of parts as

they are removed. The positions of the drive wheel and

sprocket in relation to the slotted plastic gear deter-

mine which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be

sure to reassemble them in their original positions.

(Refer to figure 5 on page 4.) With the reassembly of

the gear and sprocket, use shim washers (Ref. no. 21

on page 10) as needed for minimum 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.

5. 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.
