The application spray pattern should overlap to insure
uniform coverage at the edges. The approximate
distance between each pass is shown in the applica-
tion diagram. See figure 15.

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to
be covered and estimate amount of material re-
quired.
OVERLAP
2. With flow control arm in the off position, set flow
rate gauge at the number indicated in flow rate
chart - light or heavy application rate. Also refer
to the bag instructions for manufacturers recom-
mended settings.
FIGRUE 15
FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT
3. Break up lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper.
(SEE FIGURE 16)
4. To broadcast, always start tractor in motion be-
fore opening closure plate. Do not allow tractor
to sit stationary with flow control arm in the on
position. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited to
heavily in a small area, soak down thoroughly with
garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of
lawn.
1. Push back on the flow control arm to the off
position and pull forward to the on position. The
higher the number on the flow rate gauge the
larger the opening in the bottom of the hopper.
2. REFER TO FLOW RATE CHART AND INSTRUC-
TIONS ON FERTILIZER BAG TO SELECT
PROPER FLOW RATE SETTING.
3. Loosen the hand knob to set the flow gauge to the
desired flow setting and tighten the hand knob.
4. Always move flow control arm to off position be-
fore stopping or turning spreader.
5. The spreader should be moving before you move
the flow control arm to the on position.
IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on
chart) are affected by humidity and moisture
content of material (granular and pellet); there-
fore, minor setting adjustments may be neces-
sary to compensate for this condition. The
rate chart is calculated for light and heavy
application. The faster you drive, the wider the
broadcast width. A variation in speed will
determine the flow rates and width of broad-
cast.

CAUTION
When broadcasting weed control fer-
tilizers make sure broadcast pattern
does not hit evergreen trees, flowers
or shrubs.

6. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover
over the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl
cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but
should not be used as a rain cover. See figure 18.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
1. Do not store spreader with any material in hopper.
2. Clean your spreader after use. Flush thoroughly
with water.

COVER
3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket
assembly is disassembled, be sure to mark posi-
tion of parts as they are removed. Drive wheel
and sprocket position determine relation direction
of spreader plate. With reassembly of gear and
sprocket use shim washers as needed for mini-
mum backlash. Add grease to gear and sprocket.

4. If agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can
be replaced. Loosen 3/8" lock nut on the top of
sprocket shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove
old agitator wire from hole in agitator sleeve and
replace with new agitator wire. Position agitator
wire so that sprocket shaft turns freely and tighten
3/8" lock nut on top of sprocket shaft. See figure
17.
