Note:
Please refer to the spray chart, located on the
backside of the knee pad, for complete calibration.
To determine liquid quantities per tank, verify the tips
installed on the machine (factory set is 1/3 gallon per
1,000 sq. ft. through the Lavender tips).
For example, if the product calls for 1.1 to 1.5 oz
per 1,000 sq. ft., use the median value of 1.3. The
lavender tip is a 1/3 gallon tip, multiply by 3, and then
multiply that number by the gallons added to the tank.
If the tank is 30 gallons the equation would look like
this:
1.3 X 3 X gallons needed.
1.3 median value X 3 X 30 gallons = 117 ounces used
in 30 gallons of water.
Operating the Spreader
The spreader disperses free-flowing granular
substances such as grass seed, fertilizer, ice melt,
etc. When using the spreader, first fill the granule
hopper, then apply to the work area, and finally clean
the hopper. It is important to complete all three of
these steps to avoid damaging the spreader.
Note:
Clean your spreader thoroughly after all
applications.
Before Operating the Spreader
Make sure the spreader has been calibrated for the
material to be spread before starting (see
Calibrating
the Spreader section).
Important:
Verify that the proper application rate
has been set prior to filling the hopper.
Filling the Spreader Hopper
1. Stop the machine on a level surface, move
motion control lever to the neutral position, stop
the engine, and set the parking brake.
2. Use the Spreading Chart on the following pages
to determine the rate dial setting.
Note:
If the setting is not listed for the type of
material being used, place the setting at a lower
value then adjust as needed.
3. Drive to the work area.
4. Stop the spreader-sprayer on a level surface,
leave motion control lever in the neutral position,
stop the engine, and set the parking brake.
5. Ensure that the hopper gate is closed.
6. Remove the cover from the hopper, add the
material to be spread, and replace the cover.
Note:
Do Not overload the hopper (refer to the
Maximum Hopper Capacity in Specifications
section).
Note:
One extra bag of granular product may
be placed in each fertilizer box; however, Do Not
exceed the Maximum Machine Weight as stated
in the
Specifications section. Overloading the
machine will shorten the life of the transmission
and void the warranty.
Spreading
Spreading Tips:
•
To ensure uniform application, be sure to overlap
the material distribution. The highest amount of
material will dispense from the front of the hopper
and less material from each side. Adjust the
distribution pattern to achieve desired results.
•
Watch for changes in the distribution pattern;
unequal distribution may lead to striping.
Note:
Make sure the machine has been calibrated
properly before starting the spreading application.
1. Start the engine and place the throttle midway
between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions.
2. Set the impeller speed to appropriate broadcast
rate setting.
3. Move the throttle to the “FAST” position and
drive forward.
4. Pull the Spread Open/Close handle up to open
the hopper gate and begin spreading.
