1/4” x 1-3/4” hex bolts (D), 1/4” washers (N), nylon

washers (L) and 1/4” nylock nuts (K). Tighten.

Slide a 5/8” washer (M), a spacer (P), a 5/8” washer (M)

and a wheel (10) onto the end of the axle with a hole.

Secure the wheel to the axle with a 3/16” x 2” cotter pin

(G), spreading the ends of the cotter pin.

Using a hammer, carefully tap a hub cap (W) onto the axle.

Assembly Step 12

Assembly Step 15

Attach the handle tubes (2) to the hopper support tubes

using two 1/4” x 1-3/4” hex bolts (D), and 1/4” nylock nuts

(K). Tighten.

Insert the lower end of the ﬂow control rod (5) through

the hole in the drive link bracket (Z) and then twist the

rod so that the end points down.

Assembly Step 16

Assembly Step 14

Insert the upper end of the ﬂow control rod (5) through

the hole in the ﬂow control arm. Secure it with a 1/4”

washer (N) and a 3/32” x 3/4” cotter pin (I), spreading the

ends of the cotter pin.

Attach the ﬂow control bracket (9) to the handle tubes

using two 1/4” x 2-3/4” hex bolts (A), four 1/4” washers

(N) and two 1/4” nylock nuts (K). Do not tighten yet.

Assembly

Assembly Step 17

Assembly Step 18

Install the grip (Y) onto the ﬂow control arm.

Install the handle grips (BB) onto the handles.

Set the adjustable stop at “5” and move the control arm

against it.

Slide the control bracket along the handle tube until the

ﬂow plate in the bottom of the hopper is open half way.

Assemble the adjustable stop (S) to the ﬂow control

bracket using the 1/4” x 3/4” carriage bolt (F), nylon

washer (L) and wing nut (R).

Tighten the bolts and nuts attaching the control bracket

to the handle tubes. Do not indent the control bracket

when tightening.

Make sure the ﬂow plate is completely open at the

highest setting and completely closed at the “OFF”

setting. Re-adjust if necessary.

Operation

When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure

the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,

ﬂowers or shrubs.

Setting The Flow Control

(Refer to Step 18 on Page 9.)

Loosen the 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.

Heavy moisture conditions may require use of a vinyl

hopper cover to keep contents dry. The cover acts as a

wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a

rain cover. The #41316 cover can be ordered as an

option. See pages 12 and 13.

Refer to the application chart on this page and to the

instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper ﬂow

rate setting.

Pull the ﬂow control arm back against the adjustable stop

for the on position. Push the ﬂow control arm forward and

then over into the locking notch for the oﬀ position.

8' to

10'

Using Your Spreader

We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn

chemicals, due to diﬃculty in obtaining a satisfactory or

consistent broadcast pattern.

Determine approximate square footage of area to be

covered and estimate amount of material required.

OVERLAP

Make sure the ﬂow plate is closed.

Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.

Refer to the instructions on the fertilizer bag and to the

application chart on this page to set the adjustable stop

to the proper ﬂow rate setting. The application chart is

calculated for light to heavy application at a vehicle

speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 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.

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.

Always start the spreader in motion before opening the

ﬂow plate.

APPLICATION CHART

Always close the ﬂow plate before turning or stopping the

spreader.

If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small

To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the

Service and Troubleshooting

General Maintenance

Service And Adjustments

Check For Loose Fasteners

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 impeller will

spin. Be sure to reassemble all parts in their original

positions. (Refer to the exploded parts view on page 12).

Apply fresh grease to the gears when re-assemblin

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.

Check For Worn Or Damaged Parts

Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.

Repair or replace parts if necessary.

Cleaning

Check Tire Inﬂation

Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and allow

to dry before storing.

Check if tires are adequately inﬂated before each use. Do

not inﬂate tires beyond maximum recommended pressure

on tire.

Lubricate

Remove the three clips from the gear box and separate

the gearbox housings.

CAUTION: DO NOT inﬂate tires beyond the

maximum recommended pressure printed

on side of tire.

Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the gears.

Lightly oil the top of the gear box and the vertical

spreader shaft.

Re-assemble the gearbox housings and secure them

with the clips.

Storage

Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and allow

to dry before storing.

Oil the (idler) wheel and the axle bushings at least once a

year or more often as needed.

Store in a clean, dry area.
