a.
Release the parking brake
b.
With the throttle lever released, shift the transmission to LOW gear.
c.
Step onto the sulky and grasp the handlebars.
d.
Pull the throttle lever to the fully open (3450 rpm) position against the handlebar.
This will engage the centrifugal clutch, causing the Spreader Sprayer to move.

To turn the Spreader Sprayer, turn the handlebars in the direction of the turn. Shift
your body weight to the side of the direction of the turn.
f.
To stop, release the Throttle Lever and pull the Brake Lever.
g.
At this point the new operator must spend an adequate amount of time driving the
machine in LOW Gear on an open flat area until the new operator is comfortable
driving the machine.
h.
Drop the Handlebar and practice operating the machine while walking.
i.
To shift from LOW to HIGH, first stop the machine by releasing the Throttle Lever
and pull the Brake Lever. When the machine has stopped completely, shift to HIGH
gear. Do not apply excessive force to the shift lever. If it is difficult to shift, move the
front wheels slightly to free up the transmission until it shifts easily. To shift from a
forward gear to REVERSE or from REVERSE to a forward gear, first stop the
machine by releasing the Throttle Lever and pull the Brake Lever. When the
machine has stopped completely, shift to the desired gear. Do not apply excessive
force to the shift lever. If it is difficult to shift, move the front wheels slightly to free up
the transmission until it shifts easily.
TO AVOID SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE
TRANSMISSION OR GEAR SHIFT, THE MACHINE MUST BE AT A
COMPLETE STOP BEFORE SHIFTING. DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE
FORCE TO THE GEAR SHIFT. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS DIFICULT TO
SHIFT, MOVE THE FRONT WHEELS SLIGHTLY TO FREE UP THE
TRANSMISSION UNTIL IT SHIFTS EASILY.
j. At this point the new operator must spend an adequate amount of time driving the
machine in HIGH Gear, both riding and jogging behind, on an open flat area until the
new operator is comfortable driving the machine in HIGH gear.
k. Add weight to the hopper and tank, and repeat steps (f.) through (j.)
