OPERATION KNOW YOUR SPREADER Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your spreader. Compare the illustration below with your spreader to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations. FLOW CONTROL ARM ADJUSTABLE STOP HITCH EXTENSION BRACKET FLOW CONTROL ARM - Opens and closes the closure plate in the bottom of the hopper. ADJUSTABLE STOP - Limits how far the closure plate opens.
OPERATING TIPS • We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn chemicals due to the difficult in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern. • • • • • • • • • • • Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate amount of material required. Before filling the hopper, make sure the flow control arm is in the off position and the closure plate is shut. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.
TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS • 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. LOCKED UP SPREADER • Turn the spreader over so that the wheels are off the ground. • Loosen all three nuts on the shaft support plate so that the bolts can be turned easily with a wrench but cannot be turned by hand. • Spin the drive wheel and note how freely it spins and how much noise the gear makes.
