OPERATION
A. Engine
The Kawasaki engine incorporates an electric start but
retains the recoil start feature as a back-up. This
engine has pressurized lubrication.
B. Charging System
This machine is equipped with a belt-driven 20 AMP
capacity generator (dynamo) with a solid state voltage
regulator. The regulator will maintain the system
voltage above 13 VDC when the engine is running,
regardless of whether the spreader and/or sprayer are
being operated. The battery is a sealed 12 VDC - 18
AMP-hour rated lead-acid type.
C. Spreader
The spreader is powered by a sealed 12 VDC motor
with worm-gear reduction. The impeller operates all
the time when the switch is activated, and the 12 VDC
motor operates a constant speed providing a uniform
spread pattern. The application rate will vary with
travel speed. Refer to the chart on page 11.
D. Sprayer
The spraying system includes a 12 VDC powered
two- diaphragm pump, a strainer, two off center
nozzles, one wide angle nozzle (center), two 5 gallon
tanks with shut-off valves and two splash-proof caps.
The system operates at approximately 45 psi with the
engine running and 40 psi when it is off.

cleanliness and wear.
The spreader-sprayer operates at an average system pressure of 45 lb/in
2
. The 20 amp
charging system provides adequate electrical power for the spreader, sprayer, or both
together. With the system pressures and spray tips listed below, the effective spray width
will be 9 feet and the output will be as indicated for 45 lb/in
2
.
