FOREWORD The Cub Cadet Commercial Stand-On, Self-Propelled Spreader-Sprayer has been developed for use by professional landscapers, commercial lawn service companies, professional turf managers and golf course superintendents. The machines incorporate many safety features that should be studied by all operators and maintenance personnel before use. The list of safety precautions should receive particular attention.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS A. General: 5. Reduce speed when making sharp turns. 1. Read this Operator’s Manual completely before starting the spreader. Study the controls and learn the proper sequence of operation. Retain Operator’s Manual in a safe place for future reference. 6. Always have proper footing on slopes and hill sides and never operate when conditions are slippery. Be very careful on wet grass. 7. Always keep both hands on the handles. 8. Be careful when crossing gravel paths or roadways. 2.
This standard is subject to change. Please check www.osha.gov for the latest regulatory updates tal encapsulation (completely covering the wearer). An assortment of types of chemical-protective hats, hoods, gloves, and boot covers are used with the garments. General There are many brands and models of protective equipment available for use in pesticide application. Price is not always an indicator of quality, so shop carefully.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS this machine. 2. Check the engine oil level. Fill to the proper level with 10W30 engine oil rated for service SF or higher. 6. Parking Brake: The mechanical disc brake is activated by the lever in the foot platform area. Press down on the lever to engage the park brake, and lift up the lever to release. Note: 10W40 and Shell Rimula 15W40 are approved. 3. Move the machine outdoors. Check the engine gasoline level.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 12. After the first full day of use, all nuts, bolts and screws should be rechecked for proper tightness and the belts should be rechecked for proper tension. DO NOT: • Do not turn on slopes unless necessary; then, turn slowly and use extra care. • Do not operate near drop-offs, ditches or embankments. The unit could suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge caves in. • Do not operate on wet grass. Reduced traction could cause sliding.
OPERATION A. Engine C. Spreader The Kawasaki engine incorporates an electric start but retains the recoil start feature as a back-up. This engine has pressurized lubrication. The spreader is powered by a sealed 12 VDC motor with worm-gear reduction. The impeller operates all the time when the switch is activated, and the 12 VDC motor operates a constant speed providing a uniform spread pattern. The application rate will vary with travel speed. Refer to the chart on page 11. B.
OPERATION The electric-powered spreader maintains an impeller speed to provide an effective material spread width of 10 feet. Spreader Application Rate de-rating for travel speed Speed 3.5 mph 4 mph 5 mph 6 mph 7 mph 8 mph Time/100 ft 19.5 seconds 17.0 seconds 13.6 seconds 11.4 seconds 9.7 seconds 8.5 seconds 11 Application Rate (AR) 1.0 X AR 0.875 X AR 0.70 X AR 0.58 X AR 0.50 X AR 0..
MAINTENANCE D. LUBRICATION CHART: WARNING NUMBER OF GREASING POSITIONS (See Figure 1 and 2 below for Item Locations.) Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent the engine from accidentally starting before 40 HOUR LUBRICATION CHART 1 A 2 B 2 C performing any maintenance on this machine. Front Wheel Bearing Pivot Shafts Front Axle Bearing A. General Maintenance 1. If the machine must be tipped on its side for maintenance, first drain the fuel from the fuel tank, and the oil from the engine’s crankcase.
MAINTENANCE Engine Oil: Use 10W30, 10W40 or Shell Rimula 15W40 oil rated SF or higher. General Purpose Lubrication: Use any NLGI grade 2 multi-purpose grease. Shell Albida EP2 is recommended. Shell Albida EP 2 is a red-colored multi-purpose grease designed for heavy-duty bearing applications. It has high base oil viscosity for mechanical stability, has been formulated for high load, low-speed applications, and has excellent lubrication and corrosion protection.
SPREADER CALIBRATION Two items must be considered when calibrating a spreader. The first is the distribution pattern of the spreader. That is, the pattern the product makes as it strikes the ground after being thrown out by the spreader's impeller. There are many factors which affect the distribution pattern of a rotary spreader and some of them relate directly to the product. For this reason, we recommend that the spreader be calibrated separately for every product to be applied.
