OPERATION HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER APPLICATION DIAGRAM SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL (Refer to figure 13 on page 7.) • • • 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 8 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow rate setting.
MAINTENANCE CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS • 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 OF DAMAGED PARTS • Check for worn or damaged parts before each use. Repair or replace parts if necessary. LUBRICATE (See figure 15) • Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the sprocket and gear. • Oil nylon bushings on vertical sprocket shaft and on axle at least once a year, or more often as needed.
