Using your Spreader Controller

Settings are made by pushing down on the Calibration Indicator button and setting to the desired

number on the Control Cable Assembly.

See Application Chart for Setting Information.

ON—Push the Control Lever forward until it stops against Calibration Button.

OFF—Pull the Control Lever back until it stops.

Broadcast Spreader Operation

1. Always have the control lever in the OFF position before filling the hopper.

2. Always pull the spreader forward to operate; do not operate in reverse.

3. Start moving forward before pushing the control lever to the ON position. Pull the control lever

to the OFF position before stopping or turning.

4. To avoid misses or striping, space each pass across the lawn so approximately 20% of the

spread width overlaps the previous pass. This provides a feathered overlap to even out distribu-

tion over the width of the spread.

5. Maximum Capacity 100 Lbs.

DO NOT allow spreader to sit stationary with material in the hopper and control lever in

the ON position.

Maintenance

1. Before each use, check all nuts and bolts for tightness.

2. Empty hopper after each use. Do not store spreader with material left in hopper.

3. Wash spreader thoroughly and wipe dry. The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your

unit clean and dry.

4. If rust should develop, sand lightly and then paint area with enamel.

5. Lubricate all moving parts. Apply oil to spinner shaft (including where the shaft extends into the

hopper), slide plate, and where the spinner shaft and axle where it extend through the gearbox.

Storage

1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader.

2. Store in a clean, dry area.
