OPERATION

Check the product package for the rate 1.

setting, and recommended swath width. Turn

the spreader off by pushing the control knob
in. Rotate the rate cam to the proper setting.

Always ll the spreader on the driveway 2.

or sidewalk-not on the lawn. Make sure
spreader is in the “OFF” position. Empty
after each use.

Start spreader moving, then open 3.

spreader by pushing the thumb release to

the “ON” position. Always push spreader,

never pull. Push knob down to close
spreader.

Hold handle so top of spreader is level. 4.
Tipping the spreader too far can cause
uneven spreading.

The settings and swath widths on the product 5.
label are recommended starting points. Always
check the delivery rate and pattern on a small
area before treating a large area. Actual deliv-

ery rate can vary due to weather conditions,
operating variables, and condition of the product

being applied. See “HOW TO DETERMINE
SPREADER SETTING AND SWATH WIDTH”
for details.

Push spreader 3 1/2 m.p.h. (26 feet in 5 6.
seconds) for full 8’ to 10’ spread pattern
when applying fertilizer products. Apply
header strips at each end of area to be
treated then space trips across the area
as shown.

Push spreader at 2 1/2 mph (18 feet in 5 7.
seconds) to reduce width of spread when
applying ice melt products to sidewalks.

Empty spreader after each use. Return 8.
leftover material to its original container.

HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER

SETTINGS AND SPREAD WIDTH

Two major factors should be considered when determining correct spreader settings of
any product:

The product application rate, or the amount of material applied per 1,000 square feet. 1.
The effective pattern width, or the actual width in which material is applied. Label set-2.

tings are a guide and can be affected by numerous factors.

EFFECTIVE PATTERN WIDTH

A simple visual pattern test can be made
by operating the spreader over a non­turf area and evaluating the pattern. A
more accurate method is to place a row

of common, disposable, aluminum cake

pans approximately 1 foot on centers.
Set the rate cam at a middle setting and
make 3 or 4 passes in the same direc­tion as shown. Pour the material collected
from each pan into individual bottles of
the same size. Set them side by side in

order, and visually inspect their volume.

The effective pattern width is the distance
out from the spreader to a point where
the amount of material is 1/2 the average
amount in the center pans. This distance
is multiplied by 2 to achieve the total
effective pattern width.

Space Pan 1’0” on Centers

Space for Wheel Track

APPLICATION RATE

Knowing the effective pattern width (for exam-

ple, 10 feet), measure a distance equal to 100

square feet (10’ x 10’ swath width). Determine
the product coverage is pounds/ 100 sq. ft. by
the recommended square foot coverage (add
two zeroes to the weight of the bag).

EXAMPLE: Product weight: 25 lbs. sq. ft.

coverage: 5,000 sq. ft. 2500 lbs. - 5,000

sq. ft. = .5 lbs. / 100 sq. ft.

Weigh out between 15 to 20 lbs. of material
and spread over the 100 sq. ft. area. Weigh
remaining material left in hopper and adjust
rate setting as required. Repeat test until
application rate is correct.

Conversions should be used as guidelines for establishing proper rate settings. To obtain the

most accurate application rate, follow the procedures described in the Effective Pattern Width

and Application Rate sections. The settings shown here are only approximations and will vary
due to physical characteristics of the product, walking speed, turf condition, humidity, etc. War­ranty and guarantees of actual coverage or uniformity are neither expressed nor implied.

MAINTENANCE

Never store unused material in spreader. 1.
Return unused product to its original container.

Wash spreader thoroughly after each use 2.
and dry completely in sun or heated area.

Oil the axle bearings, impeller shaft bearing 3.
in hopper, control knob in T-handle.

Remove gear cover and wash gears 4.
thoroughly. Oil all bearing areas and face
of gear teeth. Re-install gear cover.

Gear mesh should be checked on a regular 5.
basis during high use periods. Clearance
between the axle gear and pinion gear should
be minimal but not tight. If adjustment is nec-

essary, loosen axle collar set screw and hold

gears together. Slide axle collar against the
gear support and tighten axle collar set screw.
Spin drive wheel. Gears should run freely and
smoothly.

Oil

Oil Impeller Shaft
Bearing In Hopper

Axle Collar

Impeller surface should be cleaned periodically 6.
to remove build-up of product. Build-up can
cause the spread pattern to change.

Tire pressure should be 20-25 PSI. 7.
