4. How to Operate
1) Connect the links of spreader to the links of ATV or a small tractor.
2) Check for horizontality after fastened the equipment to ATV or a tractor.
3) If the horizontality is not maintained, use the horizontality-maintaining
pole to do so.
4) Close the outlet and pour fertilizer into the hopper.
(Cable remote control)
5) Turn the clutch lever left to transmit the power, Turn the clutch lever
right to cut off the power
(Please cut off the power on the move )

6) Adjust spread rate by using adjusting lever.(Cable remote control)
7) Spread fertilizer by hauling through ATV or a compact tractor.
9) Three spreading patterns :
A simple adjustment of shutter level allows direction of
distribution towards the righthand side or towards the lefthand side.
- 4 -

8) You may require an additional adjustment by moving the individual vanes
when the condition of fertilizer changes(weight, condition(wet or dry), etc)
Moving the vane tips forward(No.1) will carry more material to the
lefthand side.
Moving the vane tips backward(No.3) will allow more material to be
spread to the righthand side
Please have a test spreading after each adjustment.
5. Important safety information
1) Safety gear must be worn while operating the machine.
2) If more than two people are operating the machine, observe the others’
movement carefully.
3) Make sure there is NO one or no obstacle within the operating area
and its range.
4) Do NOT overload or apply excessive force to the equipment.
5) Perform “pre-operation”procedures. In particular, check for loosen nuts
and bolts, connecting pins, and Lubricant
6) If any trouble occurs while operating the equipment, turn off the engine
of ATV or tractor and apply the break, then refer to “Trouble Shooting.”
7) Comply with all local traffic regulations while driving.

6. Checkup
1) Make sure to apply Lubricant where needed and check for loosen nuts
and bolts before operating.
2) Check for air pressure on the tires.
3) Before operating, please check for lubrication, and connection of
the parts.
4) Test drive the equipment before actual use.
7. Storage
1) When the equipment is to be stored for a long time, apply lubricants
to the area where it is likely to have corrosion.
2) Firmly secure the fertilizer spreader on the flat surface to prevent any
possible fall off.
3) Keep it away from children to prevent any safety hazard.
4) When the equipment is to be stored for a long time, store it in indoor.
If it is to be stored outside, place it on the flat surface and cover it with
protectors to prevent any source of damages from rain and snow.
