5. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1.
Make sure that all parts are tightly assembled.
2.
Make sure the device is not damaged. All damaged parts must immediately replaced.
3.
Make sure that spreading is off – control lever is released.
4.
Fill the hoppe. This should not be done on the lawn as scattering material may be lost through
accidental spillage or the lawn may be damaged through extreme over-fertilisation.
5.
Set the desired value by turning the adjustment screw spreading (fig 1, position 2).
6.
Now the spreader is ready. Start walking, then squeeze the trigger to open the spreader.
Always push the spreader when applying product. When pulled backward while open,
the spreader may apply an excessive amount and damage the lawn.
NOTE:
Due to the wide range of fertilizer and their different density we can‘t indicate
the general settings. For best setting, use the instructions below: Empty the number of pounds the
manufacturer recommends for 1,000 square feet into the spreader. Adjust the spreader to a very
low setting and spread product over a 1,000 square – foot area (50 by 20 feet, 33 by 30 feet, or
equivalent). Adjust the setting upward after judging how much product has been applied to the
test area. Remember: it is safer to under-apply with the test and increase setting later as needed.
Some fertilizers can burn your lawn if over – applied.
•
Move the spreader first, before squeezing the control lever.
•
Stop the spreader after you had released the control lever.
•
Clean the impeller plate after each use. Fertilizer stuck on the impeller blades will cause
uneven spreading.
•
Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking
speed. Slower or faster speeds will change the spread patterns.
•
Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom
of the hopper.
•
Never leave product in the spreader. Pour leftover material back into the package and seal the
package tightly.
•
After each use, wash thoroughly to remove all material clinging to the spreader. Hot water may be
required at times to remove stubborn residue. Allow the spreader to dry thoroughly.
•
Wipe with a cloth soaked in a preserving oil all metal parts after washing and before storing.
•
Store your spreader in a clean dry place.
•
Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
•
Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
•
Use a anticorrosive spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.
•
Never exceed load capacity rating it will damage the spreader.
•
Never allow material to remain in the hopper for extended periods of time.
•
Before storing make sure the spreader is clean and dry for years of trouble free service.
•
Store indoors or protected area during severe weather and winter months.
