OPERATION
HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER
SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL
(Refer to figure 8)
1.Refer to the application chart on this page and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow rate setting.
2.Move the flow control lever up to the CLOSED position. Push in on the dial and turn to the desired setting.
3.Move the flow control lever down to the OPEN position. The higher the setting number, the wider the flow plate in the bottom of the hopper will open.The flow plate should open about half way with the dial set at "5". See Service and Adjustments if setting is not accurate.

FIGURE 8
USING YOUR SPREADER
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 6 mph. Speeds above 6 mph may cause excessive wear of the spreader gears.
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.Make sure the flow plate is closed.
3.Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.
4.Set the flow control dial with the flow plate closed. Refer to the instructions on the fertilizer bag and to the application chart on this page to select the proper flow rate setting.The application chart is calculated for light to heavy application at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 seconds. A variation in speed will require an adjustment of the flow rate to maintain the same coverage.The faster you drive, the wider the broadcast width. Do not exceed 6 mph.
5.Always start the tractor in motion before opening the flow plate.
6.Always close the flow plate before turning or stopping the tractor.
7.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.
8.To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the previous pass as shown in figure 8.The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the application chart on this page.
9.When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs.
10.Heavy moisture conditions may require use of a vinyl hopper cover to keep contents dry.The cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover.The #41316 cover can be ordered as an option. See pages 18 and 19.
