Operation  
When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure  
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,  
flowers or shrubs.  
Setting The Flow Control  
(Refer to Step 18 on Page 9.)  
Loosen the 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.  
Heavy moisture conditions may require use of a vinyl  
hopper cover to keep contents dry. The cover acts as a  
wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a  
rain cover. The #41316 cover can be ordered as an  
option. See pages 12 and 13.  
Refer to the application chart on this page and to the  
instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow  
rate setting.  
Pull the flow control arm back against the adjustable stop  
for the on position. Push the flow control arm forward and  
then over into the locking notch for the off position.  
8' to  
10'  
Using Your Spreader  
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.  
OVERLAP  
Make sure the flow plate is closed.  
Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.  
Refer to the instructions on the fertilizer bag and to the  
application chart on this page to set the adjustable stop  
to the proper flow rate setting. The application chart is  
calculated for light to heavy application at a vehicle  
speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 seconds. A variation in  
speed will require an adjustment of the flow rate to  
maintain the same coverage. The faster you walk, the  
wider the broadcast width.  
IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are  
affected by humidity and by the moisture content of the  
material (granular and pellet). Some minor setting  
adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this  
condition.  
Always start the spreader in motion before opening the  
flow plate.  
APPLICATION CHART  
Always close the flow plate before turning or stopping the  
spreader.

If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small

To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the

Service and Troubleshooting  
General Maintenance  
Service And Adjustments  
Check For Loose Fasteners  
If the axle and gear assembly is disassembled, mark  
down the positions of the parts as they are removed. The  
drive wheel and large gear positions, in relation to the  
small gear, determine which direction the impeller will  
spin. Be sure to reassemble all parts in their original  
positions. (Refer to the exploded parts view on page 12).  
Apply fresh grease to the gears when re-assemblin  
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 Or Damaged Parts  
Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.  
Repair or replace parts if necessary.  
Cleaning  
Check Tire Inflation  
Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and allow  
to dry before storing.  
Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use. Do  
not inflate tires beyond maximum recommended pressure  
on tire.  
Lubricate  
Remove the three clips from the gear box and separate  
the gearbox housings.  
CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires beyond the  
maximum recommended pressure printed  
on side of tire.  
Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the gears.  
Lightly oil the top of the gear box and the vertical  
spreader shaft.  
Re-assemble the gearbox housings and secure them  
with the clips.  
Storage  
Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and allow  
to dry before storing.  
Oil the (idler) wheel and the axle bushings at least once a  
year or more often as needed.  
Store in a clean, dry area.
