(See Fig. 4 for alignment). Lower the tubing for the
stand (59) on the bolts and secure in place with two
Nylon Lock Nuts (3).
Tighten completely with a 7/16” socket & wrench.
Start with
this side.

13. a) Adding the Control Lever
Start to slide a hex head bolt (45), through the
remaining center hole on the handle.
End of the bolt comes out through
the side of the handle with the On/Off
sticker and the Control Lever Stop (73)
that was added on Step 9.
Do NOT push the bolt 100% through (yet).
At a sideways angle, slide the bottom hole of the
Control Lever onto the Linkage Bar (51).
See Fig. 13a
b) Twist the Control Lever toward the hopper and
then up, aligning the center hole of the Lever
with the bolt (45) that was added in the last step.
Push the bolt (45) through the Control Lever.
See Fig. 13b
12. Using Fig. 12 as a guide, insert a Hex Head Bolt
(46) through the remaining hole at the top of the
Lower Handle (52).
The bolt (46) should pass through the oval hole of

14. Checking the Rate Gate
15. Rate Gate Adjustment
If the gate IS closed, skip to step 16.
If it is NOT closed, follow these steps:
a) Ensure the hopper is empty.

The Control Lever Stop
(73) can shift a little up or
down the length of the
handle as needed.
16. Tighten the Bolts
The center bolt that runs through the Control Lever
needs to be tightened enough to keep the Lever
secure, but also be free enough to function.
e) Move the gate control lever to CLOSED and re-
evaluate the rate gate. If it is closed, then no
further adjustment is necessary.
f) If the rate gate is still open, then repeat steps
3-5 until the gate is closed.
CLOSED (Dial Setting at 1) CLOSED (View From Above)
Secure the Linkage Guide (47) in place by
tightening* the bolt (46) that goes through the lower
handle. (Seestep12onpage12forclarication).

*Bolt can remain slightly loose, allowing Linkage Guide to move.
18. Final Step

• Keep spinner blade clean.
Excess material build-up can cause an uneven
spread pattern.
• Keep the spinner blade level when spreading.
• DO NOT overload.
Maximum capacity of this model is 50 lbs.
• DO NOT use on windy days.
• Spread header strips at the ends of the area
OPPOSITE of the direction of spreading. This will
provide a “turn-around” area, an area to re-align the
spreader for the return spread.
• TAKE A SIGHTING AT THE FAR END. Keep your
eye on the sighting as you spread. You will not need
to wonder where you are or where you have been.
Continue until spreading is completed.
Tip: When not spreading (and if pushing the spreader
some distance) tip the spreader so only the idle
wheel is on the ground.
NOW YOU ARE READY
TO SPREAD
Operation Instructions
!WARNING: AVOID INJURY!
Chemicals can be dangerous. Avoid injury to operators or bystanders
• Make sure the rate gate is in the closed position.
• 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.
• When spreading products containing herbicides,
exercise extreme caution with respect to careless
spreading and to wind-drift. Contact Of Some
Products On Some Plants Can Be Fatal.
• Fillthespreaderonaat,levelsurfaceonly.Fill
on sidewalk, driveway, cardboard, etc. to avoid
material loss.
• Whenllinghopperwithmaterial,alwaysuse
screen to help break up clumps.
ADDING MATERIAL TO
THE HOPPER
• Become familiar with the spreader before you put
material in the hopper.
• Practice walking with the spreader, opening and closing
the rate gate at the appropriate times.
• Travel at a constant speed and operate the spreader
lever position. Remember: Open the rate gate after the
spreader is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph,
or at a brisk walking pace).
• Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational
speed.
• The spread width ranges from 4 - 12 ft. wide depending
on the density of the material and the operators walking
speed.
• The spread thins or feathers at the outer edges,
eliminating sharp, “Edge Of Spread” lines which cause
stripes and streaks. Extra coverage can be given under
trees and other heavy feeding areas without showing
“Edge Of Spread” lines.
• Some products can be fatal to some plants
• Always remove material from hopper before attaching
spreader on a vehicle-mounted spreader caddy.
• If a dial setting is not found, use the size and weight
comparison table found in this manual. Determine a
dial setting on the low side. If the setting proves to be
too low, cover the area more than one time. A higher
setting can be used when a proven dial setting is
established.
NOTE: Published dial settings are approximate
only. The operation of the spreader, the condition
of the material (damp or dry or over-pulverized) and
weather conditions, are all contributing factors. For
these reasons, it is often a good idea to spread the
area 2 times - or one-half rate - in cross directions
(SEE INFORMATION ON ONE-HALF RATE DIAL
SETTINGS ON PAGES 20-21). One-half rate dial
settings are highly recommended under damp
and humid conditions.

Operation Instructions & Troubleshooting
AFTER USE / CLEANING THE SPREADER:
NOTE: Good“Dry Cleaning”(Method #1)ispreferable
to poor “Wet Cleaning” (Method #2).
• It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a
clean, dry, oiled surface.
• Again - just before using - oil all bearings & moving parts.
• In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by the
handle. In any case, do not pile weight on the spreader, as
excess weight over a period of time can distort the tires.
Oil Bearings and All Moving Parts
Make sure the spreader is running freely!
Wipe
spreader
thoroughly
with an oily
cloth. Oil all
bearings and
bearing
areas.
METHOD #1
Wash, rinse,
and dry the spreader.
Note: Drying takes time.
Moisture trapped in bearing
areas is slow to go.
Immediately after drying
- oil all bearings and
moving parts. Make
certain all operations are
thorough.
METHOD #2
CLEAN AND OIL SPREADER IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE
