15. Place the hopper screen down into the hopper, sliding
the ends into the clips in the hopper. The screen helps
break up clumpy material and prevents large clumps
from reaching the bottom of the hopper and clogging
the opening. See figure 12.
1. To adjust the flow to be heavier to the left side,
tighten the thumbscrew so the plate is pushed inward.
See figure 13
2. To adjust the flow to be heavier to the right side,
loosen the thumbscrew so the plate is pulled outwards.

16. Lubricate the spreader following the instructions in the
USINGYOUR SPREADER
MAINTENANCE section on page 9.
The use of powdered lawn chemicals is not recommended,
due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent
broadcast pattern.
OPERATION
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be
covered and estimate amount of material required.

SETTING THE FLOw CONTROL

is in the “OFF” position and the closure plate is shut.
3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.
1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to
the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut.
The higher the setting number, the wider the opening
in the bottom of the hopper.
4. Set the adjustable stop with the flow control lever still
in the “OFF” position. Refer to the Application Chart on
page 8 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to
select the proper flow rate setting.
ꢀ. Refer to the Application Chart on page 8 and to the
instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper
flow rate setting.
5. The Application Chart on page 8 is calculated for light-
to-heavy application at a walking speed of 3 mph, or
100 ft. in ꢀ3 seconds. A variation in speed will require
an adjustment of the flow rate to maintain the same
coverage.The faster you walk, the wider the broadcast
width.
3. Pulltheflowcontrolleverbackandlatchtotheadjustable
stop for the “ON” position. Unlatch and push toward the
hopper for the “OFF” position.
USING THE PATTERN ADJUSTMENT PLATE
6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening the
closure plate.
The pattern adjustment plate is used to adjust the flow of
material being spread to the left or right side. The pattern
adjustment plate is located between the gate opening and
the spreader plate.
7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping
the spreader.
8. Iffertilizerisaccidentallydepositedtooheavilyinasmall
area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or
sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
The adjustment of the pattern plate is sensitive and it is
recommended to test your spread pattern in a small area
first.

9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the
broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the
previous pass as shown in figure 14. The approximate
broadcast widths for different materials are shown in
the Application Diagram figure 14.
IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are
affected by humidity and by the moisture content of
the material (granular and pellet). Some minor setting
adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this
condition.
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,
flowers or shrubs.

MAINTENANCE
CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
GREASE
1. Before each use, make a thorough visual check of
the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
OIL
CHECK FOR wORN OR DAMAGED PARTS
ꢀ. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.
Repair or replace parts if necessary.
CHECK TIRE INFLATION
3. Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use.
Do not inflate tires beyond maximum recommended
pressure on tire.
HAIRPIN
HAIRPIN
FIGURE 15
CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires beyond the
maximum recommended pressure printed
on side of tire.
STORAGE
1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and
CLEANING
allow to dry before storing.
4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and
allow to dry before storing.
ꢀ. Store in a clean, dry area.
LUBRICATE (See figure 15)
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
5. Remove one small and two large hairpins and separate
the gearbox housings.
1. If the axle and gear assembly is disassembled, mark
down the positions of the parts as they are removed.
The drive wheel and large gear positions, in relation
to the small gear, determine which direction the
spreader plate will spin. Be sure to reassemble them
in their original positions. (Refer to parts exploded
view on page 10). Ensure washer (Refer to item ꢀ5
on page 10 and 11) is in place when assembling the
axle components. Add grease to gears.
6. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the
sprocket and gear.
7. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft.
Apply grease to the axle at least once a year, or more
often as needed.
8. Oil (idler) wheel at least once a year or more often as
needed.
ꢀ. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn, it
can be replaced. Remove old agitator hairpin from
hole in sprocket shaft and replace with new agitator
hairpin. See figure 16.
9. Install gearbox housings and secure with hairpins.
