FLOW RATE CHART  
OPERATION  
The application spread pattern should overlap to insure  
uniform coverage at the edges. The approximate distance  
between each pass is shown in the application diagram.

FIGURE 15  
Do not use powdered lime, only  
granulatedmaterialsareapproved  
for use.  
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be  
covered and estimate amount of fertilizer or seed  
required.  
2. With flow control arm in off position, set flow rate  
gauge at number indicated in flow rate chart for light or  
heavyapplicationrate. Also,refertoinstructions on  
bag for manufacturers recommended settings.  
FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT  
1. Push forward on the flow control arm to the off posi-  
tion and pull back to the on position. The higher the  
numberonflowrategaugethelargertheopeninginthe  
bottom of the hopper. See figure 16.  
3. Break up lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper.  
2. REFER TO THE FLOW RATE CHART AND TO  
INSTRUCTIONS ON FERTILIZER BAG TO SELECT  
PROPER FLOW RATE SETTING.  
3. Loosen the hand knob to set the flow gauge to the  
desired flow setting and tighten the hand knob.  
4. Always move flow control arm to off position before  
stopping or turning spreader.  
4. To broadcast, always have spreader in motion before  
opening closure plate. Do not allow spreader to sit  
stationary with flow control arm in ON position. If  
fertilizer is accidentally deposited to heavily in small  
area, soak down thoroughly with garden hose to pre-  
vent burning of lawn.  
IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on chart)  
are affected by humidity and mixture content of  
material (granular and pellet); therefore, minor  
adjustmentsettingsmaybenecessarytocompen-  
sate for this condition. The rate chart is calculated  
for light and heavy application. The faster you  
walk, the wider the broadcast width. A variation in  
speed will determine the flow rates and width of  
broadcast.  
5. The spreader should be moving before you move the  
flow control arm to the on position.

5. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over  
the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover acts  
as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be used  
as a rain cover. See figure 18.  
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE  
1. Do not store spreader with any material in hopper.  
2. Clean your spreader after use. Flush thoroughly with  
water.  
OPTIONAL VINYL HOPPER

3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket assembly  
is disassembled, be sure to mark position of parts as  
theyareremoved. Thepositionsofthedrivewheeland  
sprocket in relation to the slotted plastic gear deter-  
mine which direction the spreader plate will spin. Be  
sure to reassemble them in their original positions.  
(Refer to figure 5 on page 4.) With the reassembly of  
the gear and sprocket, use shim washers (Ref. no. 21  
on page 10) as needed for minimum backlash. Add  
grease to gear and sprocket.

4. If agitator wire becomes damaged or worn it can be  
replaced. Loosen 3/8" lock nut on the top of sprocket  
shaft until agitator wire is free. Remove old agitator  
wire from hole in agitator sleeve and replace with new  
agitator wire. Position agitator wire so that sprocket  
shaft turns freely and tighten 3/8" lock nut on top of  
sprocket shaft. See figure 17.
