2. Press the two plugs into the ends of the frame tube.
See figure 1.
Use a block of wood to help press the plug down
into the end of the tubing.
The top of the hopper should be at least 30" above
the ground. The mounting holes shown in figures 3 and 4
will make the top of the hopper even with the vehicle's rear
rack. If exhaust blows against spreader, a higher mounting
position may help.

25. Move the flow control lever to the "ON" position. Flip
the "ON-OFF" switch on and check that the motor
runs counterclockwise. If it does not, refer to the wiring
diagram on page 6 and recheck the hookup.
26. Move the flow control lever to "OFF". This should turn
the "ON-OFF" switch off. If it does not, you can loosen
the control and rotate it enough that the flow control
lever, when moved to the "OFF" position will turn the
switch off. See figure 13.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
When properly connected, the spreader motor and impeller
will run clockwise viewed from above
20. Move the spreader's flow control lever to the off position
so that the "ON-Off" switch is turned off.
21. Connect the short (fused) wire harness to the vehicle
battery by connecting the red wire to the positive post
and the brown wire to the negative post on the battery.
The wire harness may be left permanently attached to
the battery. See figure 12.
22. Connect the long wire harness to the spreader by
connecting the red and white wires to the switch and
the brown and white wires to the spreader motor. Refer
to figure 12.

8. Shut the closure plate before turning or stopping.
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 15. The approximate
broadcast widths for different materials are shown in
the application chart on this page.
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,
flowers or shrubs.
11. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over the
hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover acts as a
wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a
rain cover.
12. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in an
area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or
sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL
1. Slide the Adjustable stop to the desired setting.
2. Move the Flow Control Lever forward until it snaps into
the Adjustable Stop, locking the lever at the desired
setting. See figure 14.

TO CHART
FIGURE 14
STARTING THE SPREADER
1. Move the Flow Control Lever against the Adjustable
OVERLAP
Stop and flip the "ON-OFF" switch to the on position.
STOPPING THE SPREADER
1. MovetheFlowControlLevertothe"OFF"position.Make
sure that the switch is turned off by the Flow Control
Lever.
FIGURE 15
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.
We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn
chemicals, due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or
consistent broadcast pattern.
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be
covered and estimate amount of material required.
2. Verify that the spreader motor turns on and off and that
the flow control is operating properly.
3. Make sure the flow control lever is in the off position
and the closure plate is shut.

4. Set the adjustable stop to the desired flow rate, keeping
the flow control arm in the off position. Refer to the
application chart on this page and the instructions
on the fertilizer bag to determine the proper flow rate
setting.The application chart is calculated for a vehicle
speed of 3 mph (100 ft. in 23 seconds). Faster speeds
require higher flow rate settings to maintain the same
application rate.
5. Fill the hopper with the material to be spread, breaking
up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
7. Start the vehicle in motion and then open the spreader
closure plate and flip the switch to "ON".
