OPERATION
1. Check the productpackage forthe rate
setting, and recommendedswath width. Loosen
rate controlknob and sliderateplate tothe
proper setting. The pattern is controlled by
loosening thetwo knobs onthe dischargechute
and moving the chutecloser or farther away
from the impeller (setting A,B,orC).See
"PATTERN ADJUSTMENT" for details.
2. Always fill the spreader onthe driveway or
sidewalk-not onthe lawn.Makesurescreen isin
hopper and spreader isinthe "OFF"position.
3. Startspreadermovingbeforeopeningport.
Close beforestopping.Alwayspushspreader,
never pull.
4. Hold handle sotopof spreader is level.
Tipping the spreader toofarcan causeuneven
spreading.
5.The settings and swath widths onthe product
label are recommendedstartingpoints. Always
check the delivery rate and pattern ona small
area beforetreating a largearea.Actualdelivery
rate can vary dueto weatherconditions,
operating variables, and condition ofthe
productbeingapplied. See "HOW TO
DETERMINE SPREADER SETTINGS AND
SPREAD WIDTH" for details.

6. Pushspreader ata normal walking speed -
2 1/2 m.p.h. (18 feet in5 seconds).Apply
header
strips around area tobe treated.
Space tripsacross the area as shown.Keep
material
off flowerbeds,sidewalks, etc.
7. When transporting spreader,makesurethat
itisinthe "OFF"position.
8. Emptyspreaderaftereach use. Return
leftovermaterial toits originalcontainer.

PATTERN ADJUSTMENT
Normal spreading of materials
requires
no adjustment (factory
setting"A")unlessstated onthe
package. In thosecases where the
spread pattern has shifted, the
pattern canbe adjustedleft and
right by loosening thetwo knobs on
the discharge chute and moving the
chute closer or farther away from
the impeller.Settings of"A,B,and
C" are provided as reference.

HOW TO DETERMINESPREADER
SETTINGS
AND SPREADWIDTH
Two major factors should be consideredwhendeterminingcorrectspreadersettings ofany product:
1. The product application rate, orthe amount of material applied per 1.000 squarefeet.
2.The effectivepatternwidth, orthe actualwidth in whichmaterial is applied.Labelsettings area
guide andcanbe affected by numerousfactors.
EFFECTIVE PATTERN WIDTH
Space Pan 1' 0"on Centers Space for WheelTrack
A simple visual pattern test canbe made by
operating the spreaderover a non-turf area
and evaluating the pattern. A more accurate
method
isto place a rowof common,
disposable, aluminum cakepans
approximately 1 foot on centers. Setthe rate
plate ata middle setting and make 3 or4
passes inthe same direction as shown.
Pour the material collected fromeach pan
into individual bottles ofthe same size. Set
themside by side in order, and visually
inspect their volume. Ifthe pattern isnot
centered(example: volume in bottle #2 left
not equal to bottle #2 right), adjust the
dischargechute upor down as described in
"PATTERN ADJUSTMENT" section.

Once the pattern is uniform, the effectivepattern width
can be determined. The effectivepatternwidth isthe
distance out from the spreader toa point where the
amount of material is1/2the averageamount inthe
center pans. This distance is multiplied by2to achieve
the total effectivepattern width.

APPLICATION RATE 1
Knowing the effectivepattern width (for EXAMPLE: Productweight: 25 Ibs.
example,
10 feet), measure a distance equal sq.ft. coverage:5,000 sq.ft.
to 100 squarefeet (10' x 10' swathwidth). 2500 Ibs. - 5,000 sq.ft.
Determine the productcoverage in pounds / = .5 Ibs. / 100 sq.ft.
100 sq.ft.by taking the weight ofthe product
and dividing itbythe recommendedsquareWeigh out15to20 Ibs. of material and
foot coverage(add two zeroes tothe weightspreadover the 1 00 sq.ft. area. Weigh
of the bag).remainingmaterialleft in hopper and
adjustrate setting as required.Repeat
test until application rate is correct.

MAINTENANCE
1. Never storeunusedmaterial in spreader. Return
unusedproduct
toits originalcontainer.
2. Wash spreaderthoroughly after each useanddry
completely insunor heated area.
3. Grease axlebearings in frame. Oilthe impellershaft
bearing
in hopper, pivot points onthe shut-offplate
and the spring inthe housingbehind the rate plate.
4. Remove gear cover and wash gears thoroughly. Oil
all bearing areas and face of gear teeth.Lubricategear
teeth with dry graphite.Re-install gear cover.
5. Gear meshshould be checked ona regularbasis
during high use periods. Clearance between the axle
gear and pinion gear should be minimal butnot tight. If
adjustment is necessary,loosen axle collar set screw
and hold gears together.Slide axle collaragainst the
gear support and tightenaxlecollar set screw.Spin
drivewheel.
Gears should run freely and smoothly.
6. Impellersurface should be cleanedperiodically to
remove build-up of product.Build-up can cause the
spread pattern to change.
7. Tirepressure should be 20-25 PSI. f
