HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER

SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL

(Refer to figure 12 on page 9.)

• 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.

• Refer to the application chart on page 11 and to the

instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper

flow rate setting.

• Pull the flow control arm against the adjustable stop

for the on position and toward the hopper for the off

position.

DISENGAGING THE DRIVE WHEEL (Freewheeling)

(Refer to figure 4 on page 7.)

Remove the drive pin from the left wheel to disen-

gage the wheel from the axle and gear mechanism.

This prevents excessive wear or damage to the

spreading mechanism when transporting the

spreader in excess of 6 mph or when transporting for

more than a short distance,
