break up clumpy material and to prevent large clumps  
from reaching the bottom of the hopper and clogging

11. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over  
the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover  
(available as an accessory) acts as a wind and mois-  
ture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover.  
Refer to the parts list on page 13.  
OPERATION  
HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER  
SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL  
(Refer to figure 13 on page 7.)  
APPLICATION DIAGRAM  
1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to  
the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing  
nut. The higher the setting number, the wider the  
opening in the bottom of the hopper.  
SHIELD UP  
2. Refer to the application chart on page 10 and to the  
instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper  
flow rate setting.  
8’ to  
10’  
3. Pull the flow control arm against the adjustable stop  
for the on position and toward the hopper for the off  
position.  
OVERLAP  
USING YOUR SPREADER  
We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn  
chemicals, due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or  
consistent broadcast pattern.  
SHIELD DOWN  
3’ to  
4’  
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be  
covered and estimate amount of material required.  
2. Before filling the hopper make sure the flow control  
arm is in the off position and the closure plate is shut.  
3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.  
4. Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in  
the off position. Refer to the application chart on page  
10 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select  
the proper flow rate setting.  
OVERLAP  
5. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy  
application at a walking speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in  
23 seconds. A variation in speed will require an  
adjustment of the flow rate to maintain the same  
coverage. The faster you walk, the wider the broad-  
cast width.  
FIGURE 17  
6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening  
the closure plate.  
7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stop-  
ping the spreader.  
8. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a  
small area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden  
hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.  
9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that  
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern  
from the previous pass as shown in figure 17. The  
approximate broadcast widths for different materials  
are shown in the application chart on this page.  
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make  
sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen  
trees, flowers or shrubs. Lower the spreader shield to  
limit the dispersal pattern. Reduce the flow control  
setting according to the application chart on page 10.

IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart 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.

MAINTENANCE  
STORAGE  
CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS  
1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and  
dry off before storing.  
2. Store in a clean, dry area.  
1. Before each use make a thorough visual check of  
the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have  
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.  
CHECK FOR WORN OF DAMAGED PARTS  
2. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.  
Repair or replace parts if necessary.  
CHECK TIRE INFLATION  
3. Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use.  
Do not inflate tires beyond maximum recommended  
pressure.  
CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires beyond  
the maximum recommended pressure  
printed on side of tire.  
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
CLEANING  
1. If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is  
disassembled, markdownthepositionsofthepartsas  
they are removed. The drive wheel and sprocket  
positions in relation to the slotted gear determine  
which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be sure to  
reassemble them in their original positions. (Refer to  
figure 3 on page 4.) Use shim washers (Ref. no. 20 on  
pages 12 and 13) as needed for minimum backlash.  
Add grease to gear and sprocket.  
4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and  
dry off before storing.  
LUBRICATE (See figure 18)  
5. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the  
sprocket and gear.  
6. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft  
and on the axle at least once a year, or more often as  
needed.  
7. Oilrighthand(idler)wheelatleastonceayearormore  
often as needed.  
2. Iftheagitatorhairpinbecomesdamagedorwornitcan  
be replaced. Remove old agitator hairpin from hole in  
sprocket shaft and replace with new agitator hairpin.
