OPERATING YOUR DR POWER SPREADER

Setting the Flow Control Lever

1. Slide the Adjustable Stop to the desired setting (“OFF” is fully closed, “10”

is fully open) (Figure 26).

2. Leave the Flow Control Lever at the “OFF” setting until you use the spreader.

Starting the DR Power Spreader

1. Toggle the "ON-OFF" switch of the ROTO-HOG Control Box to the “ON”

position (Figure 27). Leave the Flow Control Lever at the “OFF” position

until you use the Spreader (Figure 26).

Stopping the DR Power Spreader

1. Move the Flow Control Lever to the "OFF" position (Figure 26). Toggle the

“ON-OFF” Switch to the “OFF” position (Figure 27).

We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn chemicals, due to

difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.

• Application rates shown in the Application chart (this page) are affected by

humidity and by the moisture content of the material (granular and pellet). Some minor setting adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this condition.

Using Your DR Power Spreader

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate

amount of material required.

2. Verify that the Spreader Motor turns on and off and that the flow control is

operating properly.

3. Make sure the Flow Control Lever is in the “OFF” position.

4. Set the Adjustable Stop to the desired flow rate, keeping the Flow Control

Lever in the “OFF” position. Refer to the application chart and the instructions on the Material Package to determine the proper flow rate setting. The application chart is calculated for a vehicle speed of 3 mph (100 ft. in 23 seconds). Faster speeds require higher flow rate settings to maintain the same application rate.

When spreading weed control fertilizers, make sure the broadcast pattern

does not hit evergreen trees, flowers, shrubs or vegetable gardens.

• follow the instructions, warnings, etc. from the manufacturer of the

material you are spreading to ensure safe operation.

• do not exceed the 125lbs. weight limit of material in the hopper.

5. Break up any lumps as you fill the Hopper with the material to be spread.

6. Start the vehicle in motion and then toggle the ROTO-HOG Control Box

switch to "ON" and move the Flow Control Lever up to lock with the

Adjustable Stop.

NOTE: Move the Flow Control Lever to off (“OFF”) before turning or stopping.

7. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the broadcast pattern

slightly overlaps the pattern from the previous pass (Figure 28). The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the application chart on this page.

8. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over the hopper to keep

contents dry. The Vinyl Cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover (Figure 29).

9. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in an area, soak the area

thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.

Removing the DR Power Spreader

1. Disconnect the Wire Harness Connector from the Motor Mount Assembly

Connector. Remove the Flow Control Valve Assembly from the rear of the vehicle if it is attached there.

2. Support the Spreader and remove the Wing knobs, Washers and Carriage

Bolts from the Spreader Bracket Tubes.

3. Remove the Spreader from the tiller.

OPERATING YOUR DR CULTI-PACKER

Setting the Culti-packer to Operating Position

NOTE: The following procedure assumes the Culti-packer is in the transport position.

1. Lower the tines on the Tiller to halfway position with the Tiller Control Box.

2. Lift up on the Culti-packer as you lift up on the Hook Assembly to disengage

the Hook Assembly Slot from the Tiller Wheel Mount Assembly (Figure 30).

NOTE: Holding down on the Hook Assembly Handle will help to engage the slot

when you reach that point.

3. Slide the Hook Assembly down until the upper slot engages with the rod of

the Tiller Wheel Mount Assembly.

4. Raise the Tiller Tines to their uppermost position with the Tiller Control Box.

5. The Culti-packer Wheels are now engaged with the soil and the Tiller Wheels

are lifted off the ground.

6. The Culti-packer is now ready to use.

• For best results it may be necessary to pack the soil before seeding and then pack the soil a second time after seeding.

• The Culti-packer can be used to break up clumps and to give soils a smooth finished appearance.

• If desired, the Culti-packer can be left in the “operating” position when the Tow Vehicle is being reversed.
