TURFCO T3000 APPLICATOR

OPERATION

Reducing Spread Pattern 60% To Go Thru a Narrow Area.

1. Adjust the Vari-Rate Adjustable Gate Stop so it is at 60% of full open setting for

your product

(Licensed Operator Adjustment Only).

2. Move the Spinner Speed Control handle to the narrow position. This will reduce

the spinner speed and narrow spread width.
4. Open the Spreader Gate Open/Close Control handle. Handle should be positioned

to stop at Vari-Rate stop -

See Position “B” in Figure 11.

This way you will be

spreading a narrow pattern (approximate 9 foot or less) at 60% of the full rate.

SPREADING OPERATION ON THE LAWN

All lawns are different. Most accidents happen when operators are not familiar with

either the machine or the terrain on which they will be using the machine.
1. Practice with the T3000 before you try to operate it on a lawn. Practice in all kinds

of conditions for at least 30 minutes. Simulate close quarter operation (i.e. between

a fence and AC unit) before you actually try it. Climb curbs, get used to operation

on mild slopes and making turns. Be totally familiar with your machine before you

every try to apply products to a lawn. You will need practice before you become

good at the controls and driving at the same time.
2.

BEFORE YOU GO ON THE LAWN,

Place the screen in the hopper, ﬁll the hopper

with the material you are going to spread.
3.

BEFORE YOU APPLICATE ANYTHING,

go on the property to be treated and

drive slowly around the entire perimeter. Note or mark all obstacles, holes, rocks

or anything that can be a hazard, harmed by the machine or cause damage to the

machine.
4. Trim out the property to be treated. Set the Border Patrol Deﬂector in the down

or Trim position. You will be going around the property clockwise doing a trim strip around the outer edge of the

property. Keep your left side wheels about 6 inches inside any walks or drives you do not want product on. As you

start ahead open the spreader gate to the 60% setting as you are only spreading to the right. The Border Patrol

Deﬂector will keep the fertilizer from going “off target” to the left.
5. Stop after going around the entire edge of the property. With the settings in the same trim positions, you will want

to make a counterclockwise pass around all objects on the property.

6. Stop. Put the Border Patrol up. You will now make

another pass around the property exactly 6 feet out

from the last pass tire track. The Spreader gate will

be in the full open position. When you have ﬁnished

this pass you will have a 13 foot band around the

entire property to be used for turning. You are now

ready to applicate the lawn.
7. To applicate go straight across the lawn, with the

spreader gate in the full open position. As your spread

hits the 13 foot turning band on the side of the lawn,

turn off the spread and make a 180º degree turn. The

machine will come straight at 6 foot from your last tire
