7. For the standard setup, use the holes shown in  
the illustration. Other hole combinations allow  
different handle heights and hopper angles. Do  
not use holes in stand that are farthest apart as a  
combination - flow gate may not close completely.  
Attach the stand to the hopper frame tube using two  
1/4 x 1-1/ꢀ in. bolts and nylock nuts. Attach the stand  
to the lower handle using two 1/4 x 1-1/ꢀ in. bolts and  
nylock nuts. Tighten all four bolts to secure the stand.  
See figure 4.  
9. Install a handle grip on each handle. See figure 6.  
10. Attach the flow control lever to the bracket using one  
1/4 x 3/4 in. bolt, nylon washer and nylock nut. Tighten  
carefully to allow the lever to move freely. Install the  
vinyl grip. See figure 6.

14. Adjust the position of the flow control mounting bracket  
(figures 10 and 11):  
a. Set the adjustable stop at “5.Latch the flow control  
lever against the stop. Verify that the closure plate

15. Place the hopper screen down into the hopper, sliding  
the ends into the clips in the hopper. The screen helps  
break up clumpy material and prevents large clumps  
from reaching the bottom of the hopper and clogging  
the opening. See figure 12.  
1. To adjust the flow to be heavier to the left side,  
tighten the thumbscrew so the plate is pushed inward.  
See figure 13  
2. To adjust the flow to be heavier to the right side,  
loosen the thumbscrew so the plate is pulled outwards.  
See figure 13

16. Lubricate the spreader following the instructions in the  
USINGYOUR SPREADER  
MAINTENANCE section on page 9.  
The use of powdered lawn chemicals is not recommended,  
due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent  
broadcast pattern.  
OPERATION  
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be  
covered and estimate amount of material required.  
HOw TO USEYOUR SPREADER  
SETTING THE FLOw CONTROL  
2. Beforellingthehopper,makesuretheowcontrollever  
(Refer to figure 10 on page 6.)  
is in the “OFF” position and the closure plate is shut.  
3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.  
1. 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.  
4. Set the adjustable stop with the flow control lever still  
in the “OFF” position. Refer to the Application Chart on  
page 8 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to  
select the proper flow rate setting.  
ꢀ. Refer to the Application Chart on page 8 and to the  
instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper  
flow rate setting.  
5. The Application Chart on page 8 is calculated for light-  
to-heavy application at a walking speed of 3 mph, or  
100 ft. in ꢀ3 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.  
3. Pulltheowcontrolleverbackandlatchtotheadjustable  
stop for the “ON” position. Unlatch and push toward the  
hopper for the “OFF” position.  
USING THE PATTERN ADJUSTMENT PLATE  
6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening the  
closure plate.  
The pattern adjustment plate is used to adjust the flow of  
material being spread to the left or right side. The pattern  
adjustment plate is located between the gate opening and  
the spreader plate.  
7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping  
the spreader.  
8. Iffertilizerisaccidentallydepositedtooheavilyinasmall  
area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or  
sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.  
The adjustment of the pattern plate is sensitive and it is  
recommended to test your spread pattern in a small area  
first.

9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the  
broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the  
previous pass as shown in figure 14. The approximate  
broadcast widths for different materials are shown in  
the Application Diagram figure 14.  
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.  
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure  
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,  
flowers or shrubs.

MAINTENANCE  
CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS  
GREASE  
1. 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.  
OIL  
CHECK FOR wORN OR DAMAGED PARTS  
ꢀ. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use.  
Repair or replace parts if necessary.  
CHECK TIRE INFLATION  
3. Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use.  
Do not inflate tires beyond maximum recommended  
pressure on tire.  
HAIRPIN

FIGURE 15  
CAUTION: DO NOT inflate tires beyond the  
maximum recommended pressure printed  
on side of tire.  
STORAGE  
1. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and  
CLEANING  
allow to dry before storing.  
4. Rinse inside of hopper and exterior of spreader and  
allow to dry before storing.  
ꢀ. Store in a clean, dry area.  
LUBRICATE (See figure 15)  
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS  
5. Remove one small and two large hairpins and separate  
the gearbox housings.  
1. 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  
spreader plate will spin. Be sure to reassemble them  
in their original positions. (Refer to parts exploded  
view on page 10). Ensure washer (Refer to item ꢀ5  
on page 10 and 11) is in place when assembling the  
axle components. Add grease to gears.  
6. Lightly apply automotive grease as needed to the  
sprocket and gear.  
7. Oil the nylon bushings on the vertical sprocket shaft.  
Apply grease to the axle at least once a year, or more  
often as needed.  
8. Oil (idler) wheel at least once a year or more often as  
needed.  
ꢀ. If the agitator hairpin becomes damaged or worn, it  
can be replaced. Remove old agitator hairpin from  
hole in sprocket shaft and replace with new agitator  
hairpin. See figure 16.  
9. Install gearbox housings and secure with hairpins.
