WHAT’S IN THE BOX
TOOLS NEEDED
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Calibrate the flow control setting
- Move the control lever (A) to the “OFF” position.
- Slide the control bracket along the control tube until the shut-off plate in the bottom of the hopper is closed.
- Lightly tighten the hex nuts that fasten the flow control bracket to the control tube.
- Set the adjustable stop (B) at “5”. Pull the control lever (A) against the stop (B) and verify that the shut-off plate has opened about halfway.
- If the shut-off plate does not open halfway, adjust the position of the control bracket until the shut-off plate opens about halfway and closes completely.
- Tighten the hex nuts.
SAFETY INFORMATION
- Read the information on the chemical package for instructions and cautions on handling and applying.
- Wear eye and hand protection when handling and when applying lawn or garden chemicals.
- Never allow children to operate the vehicle or spreader.
OPERATION
Do not use powdered lawn chemicals. They do not give a satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.
- Estimate the size of the area to be covered and calculate the amount of material required.
- Set the adjustable stop according to the flow setting recommended in the application chart on this page. Also refer to the instructions on the packaging for the material to be spread.
- The application chart is calculated for light to heavy coverage at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 seconds.
- Make sure the control lever is in the “OFF” position.
- Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.
- Start the spreader in motion and then pull the control lever forward against the adjustable stop to the “ON” position.
- Always move the control lever to the “OFF” position before turning or stopping.
- To ensure uniform coverage, make each pass so that
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the previous pass. The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the application chart on this page. - For rectangular areas, make two passes across the short ends to create turning areas. For non-rectangular areas, make two passes around the entire border.
- When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs.
MAINTENANCE
OIL ANNUALLY
WARNING:
Over-inflated tires can explode, causing serious injury. To avoid injury, NEVER inflate tires beyond the maximum pressure printed on the sidewall of the tire. ALWAYS use a hand pump to safely inflate tires.
