KNOW YOUR SPREADER Read this owner's manual and safety rules before operating your spreader. Compare the illustration below with your spreader to familiarize yourself with the various controls and their locations. FLOW CONTROLARM ADJUSTABLE STOP / CLOSURE PLATE HITCH EXTENSION BRACKET J ' FLOW CONTROL ARM - Opens and closes the closure plate in the bottom of the hopper. ADJUSTABLE STOP - Limits how far the closure plate opens.
OPERATING TIPS • 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. • Before filling the hopper make sure the flow control arm is in the off position and the closure plate is shut. • Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper. • Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in the off position.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES Read and follow the maintenance MAINTENANCE schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section. SCHEDULE Fill in dates as you complete regular service. Check for loose fasteners Check for worn or damaged parts Check tire inflation Service x x x x x Cleaning Lubricate Dates x x x CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS CHECK FOR WORN OF DAMAGED PARTS LUBRICATE (See figure 16.) • Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the sprocket and gear.
If the axle, slotted gear and sprocket assembly is disassembled, mark down the positions of the parts as they are removed. The drive wheel and sprocket positions in relation to the slotted gear determine which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be sure to reassemble them in their original positions. (Refer to figure 4 on page 5.) Use shim washers (Ref. no. 21 on pages 10 and 11 ) as needed for minimum backlash. Add grease to gear and sprocket. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged can be replaced.
