When transporting spreader from location to location,
make sure the spreader on/off control lever is in the
“OFF” position.
Use Swath Width
on Package or Adjust
per Operator’s
Ground Speed
Normal spreading of material requires no adjustment unless otherwise stated on the package. In those cases where
the spread pattern has shifted, the pattern can be adjusted. If the pattern is heavier to the right (as viewed from the
operating position), loosen the wing nut and move the control plate in toward the hopper. If it is heavy to the left, move
the control plate out away from the hopper. Tighten wing nut after each adjustment is made.
7. Spreader Operation:
Check the product package for the rate setting (letter), pattern
setting (number), and recommended swath width. Loosen the
rate control knob and slide the rate plate to the proper rate
setting. See “Pattern Adjustment” for further details.
Before filling hopper, make sure the spreader on/off control lever
is in the “OFF” position. Make sure screen is in the hopper. Fill
hopper.
Start spreader moving before opening ports, close ports before
stopping spreader. Always push spreader,
DO NOT PULL.
The setting and swath width on the product label are
recommended starting points. Always check the delivery rate and
pattern on a small area before treating a large area. Actual deliv-
ery rates can vary due to weather conditions, operating variables,
and condition of the products being applied. See
“How to Deter-
mine Spreader Settings and Swath Width”
for details.
Spreader should be operated at 3 m.p.h. (66 feet in 15 seconds).
If faster application speed is desired, the rate setting will need to
be adjusted. Apply header strip at each end of area to be treated
then space trips across the area as shown.
Empty the spreader after each use and clean thoroughly.
Do not leave unused material in hopper
. Return
leftover material to its original container.
