Storage

Storing Spreader

Placing into Storage

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Never leave fertilizer in the hopper.

Fertilizer draws moisture, forms clumps, causes unnecessary rusting and deterioration of spreader, and may jam controls and other moving parts. Ice melt residue is especially corrosive. Clean and oil spreader immediately after each use.

1. Thoroughly clean spreader before storing.

2. Apply touchup paint to scratches to prevent rust.

3. Inflate tires to 30 psi (2 bar) (207 kPa) maximum.

4. Store spreader in an out-of-the-way place. Spreader can be hung by the handle to remove weight from tires/wheels. Do not use spreader as a shelf. Placing weight on spreader can distort tires/wheels over a period of time.

Removing from Storage


Operating

Before Operating the Spreader


2. Be sure controls operate smoothly and spreader wheels turn freely.

3. Install screen in hopper.

4. Before filling hopper, practice spreading. Become accustomed to operating the flow control handle while spreader is in motion.

OPERATING

Operating the Spreader

The flow control handle assembly operates the flow control plate. The flow control assembly is marked 0 (closed) to 30 (fully open). The position selected determines the amount of material to be broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the application of material.

After determining the correct application flow setting number for your material, loosen wingnut and move flow control handle to the desired position. Tighten wingnut. Move flow control handle up to wingnut to open the flow control plate.

Using Flow Control Handle

NOTE: The edge of the wingnut is the marker, and not the center of wingnut. When the flow control handle is opened fully, the edge of the wingnut should be on the determined setting mark.

2. Determine flow control setting needed for product and move flow control handle (C) to the setting mark (D). Tighten wingnut (A).

3. Use flow control handle (C) to open and close hopper gate while spreader is in motion. This starts and stops material flow.

• Move control lever towards spreader to close flow gate.

• Move control lever away from spreader to open flow gate.

Using Deflector (Optional)

NOTE: Deflector must be installed on left side of hopper.

Picture Note: Deflector shown in operating position.

1. Deflector (A) will keep material from moving towards left side of hopper.

2. To disengage deflector, loosen knob (B) and rotate deflector up. Tighten knob to stay in raised position.

Operating - 4

Determining Application Flow Setting

1. Check material manufacturer’s container for recommended application flow and setting.

2. When no setting is recommended by the material manufacturer, use application flow setting charts in SPECIFICATIONS when spreading grass seed or when material size and desired coverage is known.

3. If the product is not listed in the flow setting charts, use Calibration

Settings in SPECIFICATIONS to set the flow control.

Filling the Spreader

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Chemicals can be dangerous.

Avoid injury to operator or bystanders:

• Read chemical container label for handling instructions. A

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be supplied by the chemical dealer and provides proper safety information.

• Wear proper clothing and safety equipment while handling or applying chemicals.

• Prohibit all smoking, drinking, and eating around chemicals.

OPERATING

3 mph/264 fpm is recommended for this spreader.

• Always close the flow control handle before filling the hopper.

• Be sure the screen is in place to prevent lumps from plugging the holes in the hopper bottom.

• Always start walking forward before opening the flow control handle, and close the flow control handle before forward motion is stopped.

• Keep the impeller level when spreading.

• Empty the spreader after each use and clean it thoroughly.

Tips for Uniform Spreading

• Keep spinner blades clean. A buildup of material on the spinner blades can cause uneven spreading.

• Use flow control handle to open and close product gate only when spreader is in motion. Close product gate as you enter turn-around areas.

• Maintain even, normal travel speed. Faster travel throws material further for a wide spread pattern and lighter coverage. Slower travel spreads a narrow pattern with heavier coverage.

• Travel in straight rows. Keep your eyes on the far end of the area to keep spreader in alignment with previous pass.

NOTE: Spreader tapers the spreading edge, which allows you to operate at approximately spreading widths. Extra material can be spread under trees and other high feeding areas without showing the spreading edges.

Spreading the Material

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Never leave fertilizer in the hopper.

Fertilizer draws moisture, forms clumps, causes unnecessary rusting and deterioration of spreader, and may jam controls and other moving parts. Ice melt residue is especially corrosive. Clean and oil spreader immediately after each use.

MX42993

1. Push flow control handle (A) downward to hopper to close product gate at hopper bottom.

NOTE: Fill spreader on a flat, level surface. Spreader may be unstable when fully loaded on an incline.

2. To avoid material loss, fill spreader on a sidewalk, driveway, plastic sheet or cardboard.

3. Do not load the hopper with more than the maximum weight capacity of

50 lbs.

4. Do not use on windy days, especiallywhen spreading fine grass seed or herbicides.

5. Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper by pouring material or seeds through the screen.

Operating Tips

• Always push the spreader. Do not pull spreader.

• Push the spreader at a consistent speed. The average walking speed of

1. Move the flow control handle (A) to setting described in

SERVICE

and dry.

• Never allow material to remain in hopper for extended periods of time.

• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with enamel.

• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.

• Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use. Move flow control as you rinse, to avoid build up of material.

Calibrating Shut Off Plate

MX40451

2. Spread header strips at each end of area. This allows a turn-around area to align spreader for next pass.

3. Make passes between header strips at each end of area.

4. Move the flow control handle to setting described later in this manual.

Spreading Ice Melt

NOTE: Use higher flow settings for wider product opening when spreading salt.

1. Remove screen from hopper to prevent damage.

2. Starting with flow setting at 20, make a trial pass over the spreading area and check coverage. Adjust flow setting up to improve coverage or down to reduce coverage.

3. After spreading, be sure to thoroughly rinse salt dust from all surfaces, as salt is highly corrosive.

4. Install screen in hopper.

Cleaning and Lubricating after Each Use

Clean and oil spreader immediately after each use. Choose one of the following methods:

• Wash, rinse and dry spreader. Drying takes time since moisture trapped in bearing areas is slow to drain or evaporate.

• Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth.

c

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Compressed air can cause debris to fly a long distance.

• Clear work area of bystanders.

• Wear eye protection when using compressed air for cleaning purposes.

• Reduce compressed air pressure to 210 kPa (30 psi).

• Blow off spreader with compressed air.

A good oil wiping or dry cleaning is preferable to poor washing and drying.

It is difficult or rust and corrosion to form on a clean, dry, oiled surface.

MX44032

1. Loosen nuts (A) and (B).

2. Push the the flow control handle downward to the fully closed position, close the shut off plate under the hopper, and hand tighten lower nut (A) on linkage rod until snug. Hand tighten upper nut (B) on linkage rod until snug.

3. Set edge of wingnut by flow control handle on 30 mark and tighten.

4. Move flow control handle upward and back downward, and verify the shut off plate under hopper opens and closes properly. If necessary, adjust linkage rod nuts and tighten hand tight.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Only use a wrench on the lower nut.

Do not use wrench on the upper nut.

5. Once adjustment is complete, tighten lower nut (A) with wrench.
