OPERATION
Operation
The Fan speed and the spread width are controlled by the
speed of the vehicle. The recommended operating speed is
slightly faster than that of a brisk walk, approximately 3 MPH
(equal to the vehicle traveling 40 ft. in 9 seconds).
The Gage Plate Assembly operates the Flow Control Gate. The
Gage Plate is marked from 0 (closed) to 10(fully open). The
position selected determines the amount of material to be
broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the application
of material. Flow Control settings for many of the common fertilizers, insecticides, and grass seeds are provided in Table 1.
If the material is not listed in Table 1, then use the calibration
table found on the decal provided on the hopper.
After determining the correct setting number for your material,
move the Flow Control Handle to that position. Lock the handle
in place by moving the Handle Stop to that position and tighten
knob.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL - NORMAL OPERATION
Fertilizers, Insecticides, and Grass Seed each have different
particle size and weight. This can be referred to as particle density. As the particles are impacted by the fan, the distribution
can be centered or slightly off center depending on particle
density and forward vehicle speed.
DIRECTIONAL CONTROL - ONE SIDE ONLY SPREADING
The directional control plate can be used for adjusting the
material spread pattern when spreading near sidewalks, planting beds, etc. Slide the directional control plate to the desired
position to control material flow for the spreader. The hopper
decal illustrates the direction control coverage. The directional
control plate only operates with 90% shut-off of material to the
right side or left side of the vehicle as shown in the illustration
below.
Adjustment can be made by moving the Direction Control Handle to the RIGHT or LEFT. The directional decal located below
the Directional Control Plate handle will aid you in adjusting the
spread pattern. For most applications the handle should be
placed close to the center position described by the label
below. If the material is coming out right or left during operation,
adjustment of this lever should be made to center the material
distribution pattern behind the vehicle. Y our broadcast spreader
has a patented feature to allow you to adjust for centering.
OPERATING TIPS
Do not load the hopper with more than the maximum weight
capacity of 175 pounds
Break up any lumps as you fill the Hopper.
Do not use on windy days, especially when spreading fine
grass seed or herbicides.
MAINTENANCE
The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your
Spreader clean and dry.
• Never allow material to remain in Hopper for extended
periods of time.
• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with
enamel.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use.
Move Flow Control as you rinse to avoid build up of material.
