Operating Instructions
Operating at the Mulch Setting
1.
You will notice a slot in the spreader setting dial control right where the 9 is or was
located. Simply dial the setting so that the metal guide will go through this dial slot
when you move the right control lever.
2.
The spreader opening will now move all of the way open to the maximum opening that
the spreader can achieve.
3.
This setting was basically designed to spread PennMulch® at 70-75 lbs. per
thousand square feet at 2.5 miles per hour. It’s easy enough to check and adjust
your walking speed. See Mulch-n-More calibration instructions “Calculating your
walking speed”.
4.
The “all of the way open” setting can also be used to spread dry sand, dry organic
top dresses and fertilizers, salt and ice melt products and other normally difficult to
spread products.
5.
When using the mulch setting you can gate the flow of the material as you’re
spreading. For salt, sand and top dress materials in which an accurate setting is not
critical simply watch the flow of material as it comes out of the spreader. Either open
more or close off (gate the flow) until you feel comfortable with the amount of
material you are spreading. If you would like to check the flow rate simply mark the
position of the control lever with a piece of tape and use the calibration bucket to
check the coverage per thousand square feet. (See the calibration instructions
included with the calibration bucket or “Calibrating the Mulch-n-More” on the
www.spyker.com web site).
6.
Through trials involving mass flow products such as sand and salt we have found that
using the “mulch basket” gives you the best spread pattern. Although the spread will
be slightly to the right using the mulch basket, the actual spread of the product is
even all of the way across the effective spread width. Depending on the type of
product you’re spreading, using a standard spinner blade the product will flow heavy
to the left and give you a less than desirable spread pattern leaving a heavy line of
product in one spot and light at another. This is the exact reason Spyker developed
the Mulch spinner blade. No other ground driven spreader has the capability of
spreading materials at these high rates because they all use a standard spinner
blade.
Changing the Spinner Blade
1.
Simply remove the special “spring pin” from the spinner shaft that holds the regular
spinner blade onto the spinner shaft. Lift the stainless collar that holds the shaft together.
2.
Slide the shaft upwards a few inches and remove the blade from the shaft.
3.
Slide the Mulch Basket onto the shaft, slide the collar back onto the shaft under the
blade, re-connect the shaft and slide the collar over the break in the shaft.
4.
Put the “spring pin” in the lower hole on the shaft (for the Mulch Basket) and clip the
spring onto the shaft using the hook. The “spring pin” holds the spinner blade in place
and stops the collar from moving upwards so that the shaft will not separate.
5.
Reverse instructions for replacing the regular spinner blade. The only difference would be
that you must pin the regular blade using the upper hole on the spinner shaft. It’s easy.
The upper hole is for the regular spinner blade, the lower hole is for the Mulch Basket.
