OPERATION
HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER

STARTING
THE SPREADER
1.
Move the Flow Control Lever against the Adjustable
Stop and flip the "ON-OFF" switch to the on position.
STOPPING
THE SPREADER
1.
Move the Flow Control Lever to the "OFF" position.
Make sure that the switch is turned off by the Flow
Control Lever.
8.
Shut the closure plate before turning or stopping.
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.
11. 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.
12. If fertilizer is accidentally
deposited too heavily in an
area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or
sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.

USING
YOUR SPREADER
FIGURE 14
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.
Verify that the spreader motor turns on and off and
that the flow control is operating
properly.
3.
Make sure the flow control lever is in the off position
and the closure plate is shut.
4.
Set the adjustable
stop to the desired
flow rate,
keeping the flow control arm in the off position. Refer
to the application
chart on this page and the instruc-
tions on the fertilizer bag to determine the proper flow
rate setting. The application
chart is calculated
for a
vehicle speed of 3 mph (100 ft. in 23 seconds). Faster
speeds require higher flow rate settings to maintain
the same application
rate.
5.
Fill the hopper with the material to be spread, break-
ing up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
7.
Start the vehicle in motion and then open the spreader
closure plate and flip the switch to "ON".
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.
