Calibrate the ow control setting. (See gure 15)
• Move the control lever (A) to the "OFF" position.
• Slide the control bracket along the control tube until the
shut-off plate in the bottom of the hopper is closed.
• Lightly tighten the hex nuts that fasten the ow control
bracket to the control tube.
• Set the adjustable stop (B) at "5". Pull the control lever (A)
against the stop (B) and verify that the shut-off plate has
opened about half way.
• If the shut-off plate does not open half way, adjust the
position of the control bracket until the shut-off plate opens
about half way and closes completely.
• Tighten the hex nuts.
SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read the information on the chemical package for
instructions and cautions on handling and applying.
2. Wear eye and hand protection when handling and when
applying lawn or garden chemicals.
3. Never allow children to operate the vehicle or spreader.
OPERATION
Do not use powdered lawn chemicals. They do not give a
satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.
1. Estimate the size of the area to be covered and calculate
the amount of material required.
2. Set the adjustable stop according to the ow setting
recommended in the application chart on this page. Also
refer to the instructions on the packaging for the material to
be spread.
3. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy
coverage at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23
seconds. Do not exceed 6 mph.
4. Make sure the control lever is in the "OFF" position.
5. Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.
6. Start the spreader in motion and then pull the control lever
forward against the adjustable stop to the "ON" position.
7. Always move the control lever to the "OFF" position before
turning or stopping.
8. To ensure uniform coverage, make each pass so that
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from
the previous pass. The approximate broadcast widths for
different materials are shown in the application chart on this
page.
9. For rectangular areas, make two passes across the short
ends to create turning areas. For non-rectangular areas,
make two passes around the entire border.
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the
broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, owers or
shrubs.
