Spreader Operation
Spreader Operation
The spreader unit is designed to handle dry, clean, free-flowing granular material only.
IMPORTANT
Spreader calibration should be performed as an ongoing process
throughout the day. Monitor material used versus area serviced and
adjust accordingly. The application rate will vary throughout the
application process. Factors affecting the calibration rate include
product rate selector setting, ground speed of the unit, impeller
speed, width of passes, humidity level, and treatment method.
NOTE:
The sprayer unit and the spreader unit can be operated at the same time to provide an even
distribution of both the sprayed and spread products to an area.
IMPORTANT
When spreading material fully engage the drive bar
or operate at your own application speed..
Refer to the TR460 calibration sheet for more information about granular
application.
1)
Fill the hopper with material. Do not exceed the maximum hopper weight
capacity of 250 lbs.
2)
Set the engine to the recommended 3200 RPMs. Confirm with the hour/
tachometer meter on the dashboard.
3)
Adjust the
Product Rate Selector,

located above the hopper lever, to
match the material coverage you desire.
NOTE:
The numbers are merely an indicator and have no bearing on material rate.
TIP:
For best results use a setting on the low side.
If
the setting proves to be too
low cover the area again. Once the desired setting is determined a higher setting
can be used.
4)

11)
Apply the granular material on 18-foot center passes. The outer edge of the fertilizer pattern should fall
between the wheel tracks of your previous pass(see diagram on page 17). This will require a total
spread width of 18'.
12)
Evaluate the spread pattern:
a)
If the spread pattern is good continue to spread at a recommended speed of 5 MPH.
b)
Adjust the spread pattern as necessary.
13)
When applicable, use the deflector shield to prevent granular material from being spread to the
right side of the machine.
NOTE:
When using the deflector be sure to reduce the fertilizer rate to avoid over fertilizing the area.
14)
Move the hopper lever to the CLOSED position.
15)
Clean the hopper after each day's use.

Cleaning the Sprayer-Daily/Long Term
Always empty and properly clean the sprayer unit immediately after each use and prior to storage.
1) Spray all contents onto a turf area until the spray system is empty.
2) Fill the tank with fresh water.
3) Spray all contents onto a turf area again through the wide nozzle, narrow nozzle and spray wand until
fresh water flows through each. Repeat this cleaning process three times to ensure complete rinsing of the
spray system.
4) Remove, clean, and inspect the three nozzle screens located in the spray nozzle bodies and the main
spray system filter. Replace if necessary. When cleaning the screen be sure the screen housing GASKET
remains in place. The spray system will not build pressure without the gasket.

Application Calibration Rates
Calibration suggestions are based on known basic standards of use. Each operator MUST calibrate the machine to
his/her condition of use.
Operator ground speed, engine rpm, spray system pressure level, spread application pass width, terrain traveled,
ground moisture, and wind conditions affect the rate of application for both granular and liquid applications.
All spreaders must be calibrated to real use conditions. The recommended method of calibration fine tuning is to use
the products over a measured area and determine the actual rate of application.
Granular:
With all factory settings in place, the granular scale for application will deliver roughly the number of pounds product
(215-240 SGN) per thousand square feet as displayed on the rate scale.
To Verify Your Use Rate:
Measure 1000 square feet and determine the rate of application upon use. <OR> With a known quantity of product
(50 lbs.),apply over a flat turf area and measure the total square feet covered with the full amount of product.
Calculate your rate of application and adjust accordingly.
Liquid:
With all factory settings in place, the liquid rate of application will remain roughly 32 fluid ounces per 1000 square feet
of turf grass area.
To Verify Your Use Rate:
Capture the liquid from the nozzle for a one-minute period of time. Then operate your machine in a straight line under
your conditions over a one-minute period of time. This will provide the known total liquid coverage rate of application
for your machine.
Average Your Rates:
Measure the area treated by your machine using known quantities of both liquid material sprayed and granular
material applied. Average this calculation over various areas. Or, check your use rate after several lawns or areas are
treated throughout the day. This will ensure that the applicator knows the rates of application used throughout the day
and can make the fine turned adjustments as needed.
EVERY OPERATOR APPLIES PRODUCT DIFFERENTLY. MAKE SURE THE MACHINE OPERATOR VERIFIES
THEIR PERSONAL USE RATES ON AN ONGOING BASIS. EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT.

Grease Maintenance
IMPORTANT
There are only 3 Grease Fittings that require WEEKLY GREASE on the TR460.
THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT CARE POINT FOR YOU TO FOCUS EFFORT ON.
Grease is like
preventative medicine. Liberal use of grease and care of the machines needs will prevent major costly issues.
It is always better to over grease than under grease.
FAILURE TO GREASE THE PIVOT AND FRONT WHEEL
BEARINGS HUBS WILL RESULT IN FAILURE AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR.
We do everything possible to utilize the
best tapered bearings, seals, and other wear items to prevent wear and provide long life. Please do your part!
You can ensure years of uninterrupted life from your
TR460
by simple greasing the Front Wheel Bearing Hubs and
adjusting and greasing the Pivot Point.
IMPORTANT
Pivot Point (1 Grease Fitting)
After the first
50
Hours of use (break in
period) adjust the Pivot Point. Remove
the Cotter Pin at the base of the Pivot
Point Spindle. Tighten (CW Turn) the
Castle Nut and replace the Cotter Pin
back in the Spindle. GREASE the Pivot
Point Heavily. Repeat this as necessary
to keep tension on the Pivot Point and
reduce sloppiness from being felt in the
Operator Steering Handle Bar.
KEEP THE PIVOT POINT GREASED ON
GOING! AT LEAST WEEKLY.
Front Wheel Bearings( 1 Grease Fitting
each side of the Spreader)
Grease the Fittings on the inside of the
Front Wheel Hubs
WEEKLY!
