SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A. General:
1. Read this Operator’s Manual completely before
starting the spreader. Study the controls and learn
the proper sequence of operation. Retain
Operator’s Manual in a safe place for future
reference.
2. Do not allow anyone to operate or maintain this
machine who has not read the manual. Never
permit children under the age of 16 to operate
this machine.
3. Always have your feet and hands clear of the
controls when starting the engine.
4. Do not remove any shields, guards, decals or
safety devices. If a shield, guard, decal or safety
device is damaged or does not function, repair or
replace it before operating the spreader.
5. Always wear safety glasses, long pants and safety
shoes when operating or maintaining this
spreader. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing.
6. Never run the engine indoors without adequate
ventilation. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
7. To avoid serious burns, do not touch the engine or
muffler while the engine is running or until it has
cooled for at least 30 minutes after it has been
shut off.
B. Related To Fuel:
1. Gasoline is highly flammable. Respect it.
2. Do not smoke or permit others to smoke while
handling gasoline.
3. Always use approved containers for gasoline.
4. Always shut off the engine and permit it to cool
before removing the cap of the fuel tank.
5. If the fuel container spout will not fit inside the fuel
tank opening, use a funnel.
6. When filling the fuel tank, stop when the gasoline
reaches one inch from the top. This space must
be left for expansion. Do not overfill.
7. Wipe up any spilled gasoline.
C. When Spreading:
1. Keep adults, children and pets away from the area
to be spread.
2. Spread only in daylight.
3. Always check the area to be spread and remove
debris and other objects prior to spreading.
4. Watch for holes, sprinkler heads and other hidden
hazards.
5. Reduce speed when making sharp turns.
6. Always have proper footing on slopes and hill
sides and never operate when conditions are
slippery. Be very careful on wet grass.
7. Always keep both hands on the handles.
8. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways.
9. Never leave the spreader unattended without
placing the ground speed control levers in neutral,
engaging the park brake, shutting off the engine
and closing the fuel shutoff valve.
10. Always park the spreader and start the engine on
a level surface with the ground speed control
levers in neutral, and the park brake engaged.
11. If you hit a solid object while spreading, place the
ground speed control levers in neutral, engage the
park brake and stop the engine. Disconnect the
spark plug wire and inspect for damage. Repair
any damage.
12. Do not operate machine on excessively steep

13. Always disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent
the engine from accidentally starting before
performing any maintenance on this spreader.
14. Keep the machine and especially the engine/pump
area clean and free of grease, grass and leaves to
reduce the potential for over heating and fire.
15. The speed and direction control levers located on
the handle are designed for your safety. Do not
modify them or operate the machine if they are
damaged.
D. General Requirements-Personal
Protective Equipment:
OSHA Standard 1910.132 through 1910.139
OSHA standard 1910.132 states in relevant part:
a. Protective equipment, including personal
protective equipment (PPE) for eyes, face,
head, and extremities, protective clothing,
respiratory devices, and protective shields and
barriers, shall be provided, used, and
maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition
whereever it is necessary by reason of
hazards of processes or environment,
chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or
mechanical irritants encountered in a manner
capable of causing injury or impairment in the
function of any part of the body through
absortion, inhalation or physical contact.
This standard is subject to change. Please check www.osha.gov
for the latest regulatory updates

General
Sometimes, it is not possible to reduce a hazard by eliminating it,
substituting a less hazardous process or product, making changes
to equipment, or even by changing how you do the job. That’s
when you need personal protection.
PPE includes items like gloves, goggles, boots, hearing protection
and respirators. Respirators filter out particles or block gases and
vapors that can harm the respiratory system. With a surface area
well supplied with blood vessels and equal in size to a tennis court,
the lungs are the quickest and most direct route for absorbing
harmful substance into your body.
Note:
PPE does not prevent accidents, but it does prevent or re-
duce injury and even fatalities when used properly.
Equipment (PPE)
Protective equipment must be selected carefully. Always test fit
the protective equipment to be sure it fits properly and comfort
ably. If it isn’t comfortable -- it won’t be worn; if it isn’t worn -- it
won’t protect. PPE includes:
• respirators
• chemical-resistant clothing
• hearing protectors
• gloves
• safety goggles and glasses
• hard hats
• sensors to detect hazardous substance
• communication devices used for safe
deployment of workers
Inhaling pesticide fumes and mists is a very common entry route
of pesticides into the body. Absortion through the lungs is great
and the sensitivity is high.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), under authority of the Federal Mine Safety and Health
Act of 1977 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970,
tests, approves, and certifies respiratory equipment as being safe
for its intended purpose.
Note:
Always be certain that the NIOSH compliance number is
on the product before purchasing respiratory equipment.
Two systems of respiratory protection are available, depending
on the type of respiratory risk involved: air-purification (filtering)
and air-supplying. For most pesticide work, the air-purifying
equipment is adequate and safe.
Protective equipment is usually required by the pesticide label in
one form or another and is integral to safe pesticide application.
Chemical-protective clothing consists of multilayered garments
made out of various materials that protect against a variety of haz
ards. Because no single material can protect against all chemicals, multiple layers of various materials usually are used to
increase the degree of protection. Protection is maximized by to
tal encapsulation (completely covering the wearer). An assortment of types of chemical-protective hats, hoods, gloves, and
boot covers are used with the garments.
There are many brands and models of protective equipment available for use in pesticide application. Price is not always an indicator of quality, so shop carefully.
Note:
Select equipment that is
NIOSH tested and approved.
Protective equipment, appropriate for the task and hazards that an
employee could be exposed, shall be provided by the employer.
Since comfort and proper fit must be considered, the person who
is going to use it must select the proper size to ensure correct fit
and function. Unused protective equipment does not help any
one.
Note:
Many supply centers, hardware stores, chemical retailers,
and equipment/machinery dealers keep protective equipment in
stock.
Training
Written procedures shall be developed for PPE use. These procedures shall include all information and guidance necessary for
their proper selection, use and care. The employer shall provide
fitting instructions including demonstrations and practice in how
the PPE should be worn, It is essential that both supervisors and
workers be properly instructed in PPE selection, use, and mainte
nance. Training shall provide the workers an opportunity to handle PPE, and have it fitted properly.
When to replace PPE
All PPE shall be inspected routinely before and after each use. A
program for maintenance and care of PPE shall be initiated and be
adjusted to the type of work place, working conditions, and haz
ards. It shall include the following:
• inspection for defects and damage
• cleaning and disinfecting
• repair
• storage
Many factors influence how long PPE (especially respirators) remains effective. As well as hours of use, an air-purifying respirator’s service life is affected by the concentration of dust and other
contaminants in the enviroment; the user’s body size; how strenu
ously the user works while the respirator is worn; and how the respirator is stored.
Note:
As a result, it’s not possible to specify a length of time after
which a respirator should be replaced.
In general, replace a mask or filter when it is visibly dirty or damaged, or when you experience difficulty breathing through it. Replace respirator cartridges when you can smell or taste chemical
while or after using the respirator, or according to the manufactur
er’s recommendations. Replacement or repairs shall be done only
by experienced person with parts designed for the PPE. No at
tempts shall be made to replace components or to make adjust-
ments or repairs beyond the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Speed Control
A. Controls
1. Ignition Kill Switch:
Located in the engine speed control panel, the
engine kill switch stops the engine grounds the
ignition system when the throttle is in the “off”
position.
2. Fuel Shutoff Valve:
Located under the fuel tank, the handle turns 90
degrees to open or close. When the handle is in a
horizontal position, it will shut off the flow of fuel to
the engine. When it is turned to a vertical position,
it will open and allow fuel to flow to the engine.
Anytime the speader is being trailered or, if the
machine will not be in use for 30 minutes or more,
close the fuel shutoff valve to prevent flooding the
engine.
3. Engine Throttle:
The throttle is located on the far left side of the
control panel, moving the throttle lever from the
rear to the front will increase the engine speed
from slow to fast. To start the engine, set the
throttle all the way to the front in the “Choke”
position. After the engine starts, move the throttle
back to the detent position.
4. Ground Speed Control Levers:
Located on the right side of the control panel is the
forward speed control lever. The left lever is for
reverse. These two levers control the maximum
output of the hydrostatic transaxle and thus the
ground speed of the spreader independent of the
engine speed. Moving the right lever rearward
increases the forward speed and moving the left
lever rearward increases the reverse speed.
These levers moved in unison. To start the engine
both levers must be in their neutral position.
5. Freewheeling Valve:
A valve is located on the side of the hydrostatic
transaxle. When the lever is moved into the “J” slot
the spreader can be pushed forward or pulled in
reverse
without engine running.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6. Parking Brake:
The mechanical disc brake is activated by the
lever in the foot platform area. Press down on the
lever to engage the park brake, and lift up the
lever to release.
7. Hour Meter and Tachometer (optional):
Located at the upper left edge of the control panel.
When the machine is running the tachometer
displays engine rpm. When the machine is off it
displays time of operation.
B. Initial Adjustments
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Check the tire pressure. Drive wheels should be
inflated to 15 psi. Front wheels (unless foam-filled)
should be inflated to 15 psi. Note: New tires are
overinflated in order to properly seat the bead to
the rim.
3. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
4. The tension of the transaxle drive belt should be
adjusted so that a five pound pull between the
engine traction drive pulley and the pump drive
pulley opposite the idler pulley deflects the belt
about 3/16”.
5. The long speed control cables which connect to
the pump control levers should initially be adjusted
so that when the ground speed control levers are
in neutral, and the speed levers are relesed from
the neutral position, the machine stands still with
the engine running. If the machine starts to creep
forward or to the rear in this situation, then the
speed control cable must be adjusted. Loosen the
nut on the cable and adjust until the drive wheel
stops moving. Then retighten the nut.
6. Lubricate all fittings listed in the maintenance
section.
C. Break-In and Operation
1. Make certain you thoroughly understand all of the
safety precautions before you attempt to operate
this machine.
2. Check the engine oil level. Fill to the proper level
with 10W40 engine oil rated for service SE or SF.
3. Move the machine outdoors. Check the engine
gasoline level. When filling the tank, stop when the
gasoline reaches one inch from the top. This
space must be left for expansion. Use fresh,
clean, unleaded, regular gasoline.
4. Move the machine to a “test area” where you can
operate it for about a half an hour without being
disturbed.
5. To start the engine:
a. Make sure that the ground speed control levers are in
the neutral position.
b. Connect the spark plug wire.
c. Open the fuel shutoff valve.
d. Move the throttle lever to the “Choke” position.
e. Pull the recoil handle.
f. Set the throttle at 50% of full engine RPM and allow
the engine to warm up. Then, adjust the throttle to
75% of full engine RPM.
CAUTION
Set the ground speed control levers at no more
than one third full speed until you are fully
familiar with the operation of the machine.
6. Move the ground speed control lever forward to
about one third of full speed.
7. To turn the machine, move the control handle to
the side opposite of the way you want to turn, I.E.,
move the control handle left and the machine
turns right. Move the control handle right, and the
machine turns left.
8. To stop the mower’s forward motion, release the
forward and reverse speed control levers
WARNING
Do not spread at full speed. Set the ground speed
control levers at full speed for transport only.
9. Before moving into reverse, the machine’s forward
moton should be completely stopped.
10. Practice operating the machine and as you gain
confidence, move the ground speed selector
levers forward to two thirds full speed. Operate the
machine until you are comfortable and confident
with the controls.
11. To stop and shut off the machine, release both
speed control levers, move the engine throttle
lever to “off” to stop the engine, close the fuel
shutoff valve, and disconnect the spark plug wire.
12. After the first full day of use, all nuts, bolts and
screws should be rechecked for proper tightness
and the belts should be rechecked for proper
tension.

SPREADER CALIBRATION
Two items must be considered when calibrating a spreader. The first is
the distribution pattern of the spreader. That is, the pattern the product
makes as it strikes the ground after being thrown out by the spreader's
impeller. There are many factors which affect the distribution pattern of
a rotary spreader and some of them relate directly to the product. For
this reason, we recommend that the spreader be calibrated separately
for every product to be applied. Spreader calibration should be
checked at least once a month, or more often when the spreader is
used frequently.
The second item is the product application rate, that is the amount of
product applied per thousand square feet. This is important because
over-application can be costly and may cause plant injury, while underapplication will reduce the effectiveness of the product.
TO CALIBRATE A SPREADER, FOLLOW THESE
STEPS:
Check the spreader discharge holes with the operating lever in the
closed position. If the discharge holes are not fully closed, thread the
upper jam nut on the operating lever rod further up the rod. Tighten the
lower locknut and recheck. Repeat this procedure until the holes are
fully closed.
TO ACHIEVE A UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION PATTERN:
The accurate method for checking pattern uniformity is to lay out shallow boxes or pans in a row on a line perpendicular to the direction of
spreader travel. Eleven boxes or pans, two inches high placed on onefoot centers will provide accurate calibration. To conduct the test, begin
with the pattern slide completely open and set the rate control arm at
the suggested approximate setting. Make three passes over the boxes,
pushing the spreader in the same direction each time. The product
caught in each box is then evaluated to determine the distribution pat
tern. Weighing the product in each box is the most accurate, but a simpler method is to pour the contents of each box into a separate small
vial or bottle. Then set the eleven vials or bottles side-by-side in order.
This makes the pattern variation quite visible.
To reduce the amount of discharge to the right side (operator's right)
the pattern slide should be partially closed and the test repeated until
the distribution pattern is uniform.
TO ACHIEVE THE CORRECT PRODUCT APPLICATION RATE:
The approximate spreader settings printed on any product label should
only be used as the initial setting for calibration. Set the rate control arm
at this approximate setting. Using the collection boxes or pans, make a
single pass over them to determine the effective pattern width. The ef
fective pattern width is twice (2x) the distance to the point where the
rate drops to one-half the average rate at the center. Example: If the
product in the vials from the center boxes averages two inches in
depth, count out to the vial which has one inch of product. If this is the
fifth vial from the center and the boxes were on one-foot centers, the
effective pattern width is ten feet (2 x 5 ft.).
Knowing the effective pattern width (ten feet), measure out a lineal distance to equal 1,000 sq. ft. (10 ft. x 100 ft. = 1,000 sq. ft.). Weigh 20 lbs.
of product and place it in the spreader hopper and spread it over the
distance necessary to equal 1,000 sq. ft. (100 ft.). Then weigh the prod
uct left in the hopper and subtract this amount from the amount with
which you started. The result is the application rate for this product in
pounds per 1,000 sq. ft. that your spreader is currently adjusted to dis
perse. Adjust the rate control arm up or down as needed and repeat
this procedure until the correct application rate is achieved.
TO USE THE CALIBRATION GAUGES:
The Calibration Gauges provide a series of "steps", numbered in 1/32inch increments, that will allow you to "fine-tune" the spreader. Once
you have calibrated your rotary spreader for the product chosen, open
the operating lever and insert the calibration gauges until you deter
mine which step fits tightly into one of the open holes in the hopper bottom. Record that step number for future reference when using that
product. You may choose to set other rotary spreaders for application
of the same product by adjusting the shut off plate to that calibration
gauge step. This will provide consistent settings for all of your spread
ers. To recalibrate your rotary spreader after a period of use, adjust the
rate control arm to the "24" position. Open the operating lever and in
sert the even-numbered Calibration Gauge into one of the open holes
in the hopper bottom. Close the operating lever and let the shut off plate
on the underside of the hopper make contact with the number 10 step
on the Calibration Gauge. Move the rate control arm back toward the
"6" position until the bottom of the arm makes contact with the shut off
plate. If your spreader is properly adjusted, the top of the rate control
arm should be at setting "10". To correct variances, remove the rate
control arm, place the bottom of the arm (up to the bolt hole) in a vise,
and bend either to the right or the left.
-
-
SPREADER TIPS:
1. Always push the spreader; do not pull.
2. Push the spreader at a consistent speed (approximately 3 m.p.h. is
recommended).
3. Always close the operating lever before filling the hopper.
-
4. Be sure the screen is in place to prevent lumps or paper scraps from
plugging the holes in the hopper bottom.
5. Always start walking forward before opening the operating lever;
close the operating lever before forward motion is stopped.
6. Hold the handle at a height that will keep the impeller level.
7. Empty the spreader after each use. Wash the spreader thoroughly
and allow it to dry. Keep the impeller clean.
8. Lubricate all moving parts. Apply grease to the five grease fittings;
two in the axle supports, two in the gear support and one in the idler
wheel (if the idler wheel has a steel hub).
