Safety

Read the general safety operating precautions in your machine operator’s manual for additional safety information.

Operate Safely

• This attachment is intended for use in lawn care and home applications. Do not tow behind a vehicle on a highway or in any high speed application. Do not tow at speeds higher than maximum recommended towing speed.
• Towing speed should always be slow enough to maintain control. Travel slowly over rough ground.
• Do not let children or an untrained person operate machine.
• Do not let anyone, especially children, ride on machine or attachment. Riders are subject to injury such as being str uck by foreign objects and being thrown off. Riders may also obstruct the operator’s view, resulting in the machine being operated in an unsafe manner.
• Check machine brake action before you operate. Adjust or service brakes as necessary.
• Keep all parts in good condition and properly installed. Fix damage immediately. Replace worn or broken parts. Replace all worn or damaged safety and instruction decals.
• Do not modify machine or safety devices. Unauthorized modifications to the machine or attachment may impair its function and safety.
• Securely anchor all loads to prevent loads from falling.
• Distribute load evenly for safe travel and unloading of cart.
• Do not obstruct the operator’s view during use.
• Excessive towed load can cause loss of traction and loss of control on slopes. Reduce towed weight when operating on slopes.
• Never allow children or others in or on towed equipment.
• Use only approved hitches. Tow only with a machine that has a hitch designed for towing. Do not attach towed equipment except at the approved hitch point.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for weight limits for towed equipment and towing on slopes. Use counterweights or wheel weights as described in the machine operator’s manual.
• Do not turn sharply. Use additional caution when turning or operating under adverse surface conditions. Use care when reversing.
• Do not shift to neutral and coast downhill.

Protect Bystanders

• Keep bystanders away when you operate a towed attachment.
• Before you back machine and attachment, look carefully behind attachment for bystanders.

Keep Riders Off Towed Attachment

Keep riders off of a towed attachment.
Riders on a towed attachment are subject to injury, such as being struck by objects and being thrown off the attachment during sudden starts, stops and turns.
Riders obstruct the operator's view, resulting in the attachment being used in an unsafe manner.
Keep riders off of hitch bracket.

Avoid Injury From Drawbar

Before you disconnect an attachment from machine hitch plate:
• Unload attachment.
• Stop attachment on level ground.
• Stop machine engine.
• Lock machine park brake.
• Block attachment wheels.
• Make sure hands, feet or other body parts are not under drawbar.

Towing Loads Safely

• Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load. Travel slowly and allow extra time and distance to stop.
• Total towed weight must not exceed limits specified in towing vehicle operator’s manual.

Storing

The spreader can be tipped upright and stored against a wall using less space:
1. Remove any loose material from hopper and fan using a brush and garden hose. The spreader should be clean and dry before storing.
2. Roll spreader to desired storage area, lift hitch clevis to pivot spreader to vertical position.

Operating

Daily Operating Checklist

Check for loose or missing hardware.Make sure all connections are tight.Make sure attachment responds properly to controls.Check for debris build-up that could obstruct proper motion of the
spreader control components.

Directional Control Settings

Normal Operation (Uniform Spreading)

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.
A
MX34606
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 (A) described by the label above. 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. Your broadcast spreader has a patented feature to allow you to adjust for centering.

One Side Only Spreading

Operating the Spreader

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, 3 mph. 3 mph is equal to the vehicle traveling 40 ft in nine seconds.
The flow control assembly operates the flow control plate. The flow control assembly is marked 0 (closest) to 10 (fully open). The position selected determine the amount of material to be broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the application of material.
Flow control setting for many of the common fertilizers, insecticides, and grass seeds are provided in the alphabetized table listing flow control settings. If the product is not listed in the flow control settings table, use the calibration guide to set the flow control.
The agitator spring located inside the hopper provides consistent material flow of pelletized materials and seed. It is not designed to break up lumps of material or seed. Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
After determining the correct setting number for your material, move flow control lock to that position. Move flow control handle to the lock position to open the flow control plate.
Removing - 6
B
MX34607
The directional control handle can be used for adjusting the material spread pattern when spreading near sidewalks, planting beds, etc. With the handle adjusted to t he left side (B), the directional control handle only operates with 90% shut-off of material to the right side of the vehicle as shown in the illustration above.

SERVICE

Operational Tips

• Always operate your spreader with the speed limit for which it was designed - 3 mph.
• When backing, carefully back straight to avoid jack knifing, which could result in damage to equipment.
• Only tow your spreader behind vehicles for which it was designed ­riders, and lawn and garden tractors.
• Do not load the hopper with more than the maximum weight capacity of 79 kg (175 lb).
• When spreading ice melters, pin both wheel hubs for better traction.
• When spreading seed, fertilizer, etc., insert only one spring locking pin in either the right or left wheel hub.
• Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
• Do not use on windy days, especially when spreading fine grass seed or herbicides.
• Optimum hitch height is 18 - 23 cm (7- 9 in.).
