USING THE SPREADER
OPERATION
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be
covered and estimate amount of fertilizer or seed re-
quired.
STARTING THE SPREADER
1. Pull the flow control arm back against the flow control
gaugeforthe"ON"position.Thisopenstheclosureplate
in the bottom of the hopper and starts the material flow.
See figure 15.
2. Withflowcontrolarminoffposition, setflowrategauge
at number indicated in flow rate chart for light or heavy
application rate. Also refer to instructions on bag for
manufacturers recommended settings.
3. With the flow control arm set at the off position, fill the
hopper with up to 125 pounds of material, breaking up
lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper. The hopper screen
helps prevent any large lumps from clogging the open-
ing in the bottom of the hopper.
4. Tobroadcast,alwaysstartthespreaderinmotionbefore
opening the closure plate.
5. Walk at a brisk pace when spreading. The application
charts are based on a ground speed of 3 m.p.h. which
equals travelling 100 feet in 23 seconds.
2. Always start the spreader in motion before moving the
flow control arm to the on position.
STOPPING THE SPREADER
1. Pushtheflowcontrolarmforwardforthe"OFF"position.
This closes the closure plate in the bottom of the hopper
and stops the material flow. See figure 15.
2. Alwaysmovetheflowcontrolarmtotheoffpositionwhile
the spreader is still in motion.
6. Overlap the spread pattern to insure uniform coverage
at the edges. Approximate distance between each pass
is shown in the application diagrams in figure 16.
7. When using weed control fertilizers make sure the
broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers
or shrubs. The spreader shield may be lowered to limit
the dispersal pattern. Adjust the flow control according
to the application chart on page 9.
8. Do not allow the spreader to sit stationary with the flow
control arm in ON position. If fertilizer is accidentally
deposited too heavily in a small area, soak the area
down thoroughly with a garden hose to prevent burning
of the lawn.
SETTING THE FLOW RATE
1. Move the flow control arm to the "OFF" position.
2. Determine the proper flow rate setting by referring to the
application charts on page 9 and to the instructions on
the chemical package.
3. Loosen the hand knob and move the flow control gauge
to the recommended setting and retighten the hand
knob. See figure 15.

IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on chart) are
affected by humidity and mixture content of material (granu-
lar and pellet). Minor adjustment of the flow rate setting may
be necessary to compensate for these variables. The rate
chartiscalculatedforlightandheavyapplication. Thefaster
youwalk, thewiderthebroadcastwidth. Avariationinspeed
will determine the flow rates and width of broadcast.
LUBRICATION
1. Applyalittleautomotivegreasetothesprocketandgear.
2. Oil nylon bushings on sprocket shaft. See figure 17.
3. Oil axle/shaft bushing on axle as shown in figure 17.
4. Oil right hand wheel bearing as needed.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of powdered
materials due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or
consistent broadcast pattern.

3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket assembly
is disassembled, be sure to mark position of parts as
they are removed. Drive wheel and sprocket position
determine relation direction of spreader plate. With
reassembly of gear and sprocket use shim washers 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" hex nut at top end of sprocket
shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove old agitator wire
from hole in agitator sleeve and replace with new agita-
tor wire. Position agitator wire so that sprocket shaft
turns freely and tighten 3/8" hex nut on top of sprocket
shaft. See figure 18.
