Introduction g000502 Figure 2 1.
Safety CAUTION The machine that the spreader accessory attaches to produces sound levels in excess of 85 dBA at the operator’s ear and can cause hearing loss through extended periods of exposure. Improper use or maintenance by the operator or owner can result in injury. To reduce the potential for injury, comply with these safety instructions, and pay attention to the safety alert symbol, which means Caution, Warning, or Danger—personal safety instruction.
• When operating with a heavy load, reduce your • • to stop before adjusting, cleaning or repairing the machine. speed and allow for sufficient stopping distance. Use extra caution on slopes. Reduce speed and load when operating on rough terrain, uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift, causing the machine to become unstable. Heavy loads affect stability. Reduce the weight of the load and your speed when operating on hills.

Product Overview Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important: The intended use of this spreader attachment is for dispersing grass seed. This is not to be used for fertilizer or any other chemical applications. Controls Impeller Speed Control Located at the top of the spreader accessory control panel (see Figure 13). g228584 Figure 12 1.
Flow Control Lever Located to the right of the main controls. Lift the lever upward to start the flow and continue lifting it to increase the distribution rate. Pull the lever downward to decrease or stop the distribution rate. Distribution Limit Lock Knob Located on the right panel of the spreader accessory control panel. g208735 This knob is used to limit the maximum amount of grass seed being dispensed to help maintain consistent distribution. Figure 15 Lever Positions 1. Side deflector raises 2.
Operating Instructions A. Determine the amount of product to be spread per 93 m2 (1,000 ft2). Use the recommended rate from the Spreading Chart section or the product manufacturer’s label as a guide. B. Determine a course length by dividing 93 m2 (1,000 ft2) by the effective spread width. CAUTION Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning 1 lever too much ahead of the other. Operator may lose control of the machine, which may cause damage to the machine or injury.

4. Move the throttle to the FAST position and drive forward. 5. Open the hopper gate and begin spreading. g207728 Figure 18 1. Effective spreading width—variable 1.2 to 6.7 m (4 to 22 ft) 6. Evaluate the spread pattern. If adjustments are needed see the Spreader Pattern Adjustment section. 7. When finished spreading, close the hopper gate.
Spreader Pattern Adjustment Operating Tips If the spread pattern is skewed or dispensing too light/heavy to 1 side (Figure 19), adjust the gate as follows: Overseeding Important: Do not put down more seed than recommended by the seed company. Overseeding can cause the grass to be too thick and cause it to be susceptible to fungus. Note: The machine seeds at the same rate going both forward and rearward. Note: If there is excessive thatch, it may be necessary to remove the thatch prior to seeding.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. WARNING If you leave the key in the switch, someone could accidently start the engine and seriously injure you or other bystanders. Remove the key from the switch, engage parking brake, and pull the wire(s) off the spark plug(s) before you do any maintenance to the machine or attachment. Also push the wire(s) aside so it does not accidentally contact the spark plug(s).
Adjusting the Gate Closure 1. Cleaning If the gate arm is not fully closing, adjust the control cable: Clean Debris From Machine • Knob located on the cable mount bracket Service Interval: Before each use or daily • Nuts located on either side of the hopper bracket 2. 1. Shut off the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove the key. Engage the parking brake. 2. Clean off any debris or buildup on the machine, especially the impeller.
Troubleshooting The following table lists some of the common causes of trouble. If a problem continues, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action Message displays “STALLED (02)” 1. Controller has detected an excessive electrical current to the impeller motor. 1. Check the impeller and hopper for obstructions that may add an excessive load to the impeller motor. Check the electrical connections to the impeller motor to ensure they are not shorted.
