2. Install drive wheel onto right-hand

end of axle (you can identify the drive wheel by the cotter pin hole drilled in the hub). Hub must face toward frame. Align the hole in the drive wheel hub and the hole in the axle. Secure drive wheel to axle with 5/32 dia x 2” cotter pin. Install the free wheel on the opposite end of axle. Insert 5/32 dia x 1” cotter pin in the hole near the end of axle to retain free wheel.

3. Turn spreader upright and install end of

handle tube with DOT between handle braces as shown. Secure with (2) 1/4-20 x 1 1/2” hex bolts and nuts.

4. Feed control knob/wire through the

T-handle until spring touches the round hole. CAUTION: Do Not Compress Spring At This Time. Feed wire through the square handle tube. Be sure wire passes above the bolts in the handle brace. Secure T-handle to the tube with (1) 1/4-20 x 2 1/4” hex bolts, (2) washers, and (1) hex nut in the holes. Remove caution label and push the thumb release toward the centre and push down knob and shutoff spring until knob latches.

5. Slide wire retaining clip onto wire as shown.

Insert wire through hole shutoff plate. Slide wire retaining clip over shutoff plate and wire until the clip locks into place.

OPERATION

1. Check the product package for the rate

setting, and recommended swath width. Turn the spreader OFF by pushing the control knob in. Rotate the rate cam to the proper setting

2. The rate setting is adjusted by rotating the

rate cam to the desired setting. The rate cam locks at each setting.

3. Always fill the spreader on the driveway or

path-not on the lawn. Make sure spreader is in the “OFF” position

. Empty after each use.

4. Start spreader moving, then open spreader

by pushing the thumb release to the “ON” position. Always push spreader, never pull. Push knob down to close spreader.

5. Hold handle so top of spreader is level. Tipping

the spreader too far can cause uneven spreading.

6. The settings and swath widths on the product

label are recommended starting points. Always check the delivery rate and pattern on a small area before treating a large area. Actual delivery 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.

7. Push spreader 2 1/2 m.p.h. (5.5 metres in 5

seconds) for full 8’ to 14’ 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.

8. Empty spreader after each use. Return

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:

1. The product application rate, or the amount of material applied per 500 square metres.

2. The effective pattern width, or the actual width in which material is applied. Label settings are a guide and can be affected by numerous factors.

The Trojan 30 is factory calibrated. However, calibration should be checked occasionally to assure optimum performance.

For accurate calibration, Sherriff Amenity recommends the use of the Prizelawn® calibrator for the Trojan 30+, Trojan HVO, and the Trojan Tow. For all other spreaders standard calibration procedures should be followed. Visit www.sherriff-amenity.com for further information.

EFFECTIVE PATTERN WIDTH

A simple visual pattern test can be made by operating the spreader over a non-turf area and evaluating the pattern. A more accurate method is to place a row of common, disposable, aluminum cake tins approximately 30 cm on centres. 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.

The conversions should be used as guidelines for establishing proper rate settings for the particular product being applied. Steps for obtaining the most accurate settings are outlined in the “How to Determine Spreader Settings and Spread Width” section of this manual. These settings are approximate and may vary due to physical characteristics of the product. Walking speed. wear, condition of the turf and humidity, may cause actual rate setting to deviate. No expressed nor implied warranty or guarantee is provided as to coverage or uniformity indicated by these rate settings.

MAINTENANCE

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

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

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

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

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

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

7. Tyre pressure should be 20-25 PSI.
