OPERATION

The Baby-Hop ground driven fertiliser spreaders are designed and sized for small lawn
tractors, ATV's or other equipment without PTO.
Ideal  for  parks,  gardens,  greenhouses,  nurseries,  athletic  fields,  etc.  The  Baby-Hop
may  also  be  used  as  a  salt  spreader  for  snow  or  ice  covered  roads  during  winter
months.
Row  or  broadcast  spreading  may  be  obtained  by  simply  moving  a  single  lever;  also  a
choice of right only or left only swath spread patterns.
The rotating spreader disc is ground driven by the pneumatic tires which are attached to
a  drive  axle  that  runs  through  a  sealed  gearbox  (with  tempered  high  carbon  steel
gears).
The  Baby-Hop  should  be used  to  distribute  granular  fertilisers,  seeds,  sand and  small
granular salt. It is not designed for use with powder type material.
Options  include  a  metal  skirting  to  regulate  swath  spread,  and  exclusively  for  the  50
model, a seat for operator's use with walking tractors.

3.01 - Operational Safety

CAUTION: our spreaders are designed considering safety as the most important
target  and  are  the  safest  available  in  today's  market.  Unfortunately,  human
carelessness  can  override  the  safety  features  built  into  our  machines.  Injury
prevention  and  work  safety,  aside  from  the  features  on  our  spreaders,  is  very
much  due  to  the  responsible  use  of  the  equipment.  It  must  always  be  operated
prudently following with great care, the safety instructions laid out in this manual.

1. The  use  of  this  equipment  is  subject  to  certain  hazards  which  cannot  be

prevented  by  mechanical  means  or  product  design.  All  operators  of  this
equipment  must  read  and  understand  this  entire  manual,  paying  particular
attention to safety and operating instructions, prior to using.

2. Do not operate the tractor and spreader when you are tired, sick or when using

medication.

3. Keep  all  helpers  and  bystanders  at  least  several  meters  from  a  spreader.  Only

properly trained people should operate this machine.

4. Accidents  are  most  likely  to  occur  with  machines  that  are  loaned  or  rented  to

someone  who  has  not  read  the  operator's  manual  and  is  not  familiar  with  a
spreader.
