Rev. 01

R

Before attempting any procedure in this book, these safety instructions must be read and understood by all workers who have any part in the preparation or use of this equipment.

For your safety warning and information decals have been placed on this product to remind the operator of safety precautions. If anything happens to mark or destroy the decals, please request new ones from Turfex.

Unit must be strapped down and locked into position before operating vehicle.

Never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of vehicle. Failure to do so may limit a vehicles handling characteristics.

Never attempt to take a unit o a truck with material in it.

Never exceed 45 m.p.h. when loaded spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking distances may be increased and handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds above 45 m.p.h.

Never allow children to operate or climb on equipment. Always check areas to be spread to be sure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area. Always inspect unit for defects: broken, worn or bent parts, weakened areas on spreader or mount.

Always shut o vehicle and power source before attempting to attach or detach or service spreader unit. Be sure vehicle/power source is properly braked or chocked.

Always keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven parts.

Remember

it is the owner’s

responsibility to communicate information on safe usage and proper maintenance of all equipment.

Always make sure personnel are clear of areas of danger when using equipment. Maintain 60' distance from all bystanders when operating the spreader.

R

Always inspect pins and latches whenever attaching or detaching spreader, and before traveling.

Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time. Be aware that fertilizers are hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.

Remember, most accidents are preventable and caused by human error.

Exercising of care and

precautions must be observed to prevent the possibility of injury to operator or others!

Never operate equipment when under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that might alter your judgment and/or reaction time.

Before working with the spreader, secure all loose tting clothing and unrestrained hair.

CALIBRATION DISCLAIMER

Rev. 01

It is the responsibilty of the person using this equipment to make sure that every type of material is properly calibrated to perform as expected. This process should take place on a solid at surface away from drains and livestock areas in order to achieve a safe and accurate reading for proper material distribution. Failure to do so may cause an over/under application that could damage turf areas or give an ineective pest control treatment. Any calibration charts contained in this manual are given as a refernce point only and should not be used as an absolute condition. Spending a few extra minutes to properly calibrate will not only save on wasted materials and time but also protect turf and other vegitation. Below are several points to be aware of before operating your spreader in the eld.

Flow rates of chemicals can change for many reasons

.

1. Formualtions vary within the same brand or even between brannds

2. Formulations vary between batches or dates of manufacture

3. Humidy can cause the material to clump and ow poorly

4. Poor spreader maintenance can cause ow changes

5. Slide stop has moved or calibrated to another type of material

6. Human error can cause rate miscalculation

R

.

Items needed for calibriation

1. A way to catch the material for weighing

2. A device to measure distance

3. A scale to weigh your product

4. A stop watch or other means to time

Conversion

.

1. To convert pounds per 1000 square feet to pounds per acre, multiply your rate by 43.6

.

Other important information

1. 1 acre is equal to 43,600 Squre Feet

2. Ground speed is very important to keep in mind when doing calculations, you will want to convert mph to feet per minute

Set the spreader stop at mid point on it’s travel length as a starting point. Fill the hopper with enough material to cover a known area of 1000 square feet. Open the gate and make note of the start/stop time, this is very important. Next weigh the material on a scale, divide the weight by the known area to establish an application rate. You may have to adjust the gate stop for more or less material depending on your results.
