2. Slide wheels onto end of axle with
the hub facing toward frame. Wheels are
identical to ease assembly. Align the
hole in the wheel hub and the hole in the
axle as shown. Secure drive wheel to
axle with 3/16 dia. x 2” cotter pin. Insert
1/8 dia. x 1 1/4” cotter pin in the hole
near the end of axle to retain free
turning wheel.

5. Secure On/Off cable to the clamp
bracket using the cable clamp and
#10-24 x 5/8” screw and locknut as
shown but do not tighten. Place On/
Off control in the “ON” position and
set the rate retting dial to the
“WASH” position. Pull cable away
from hopper sliding it in the cable
clamp until the shut off plate stops
against the rate setting dial. Tighten
cable clamp securely. To check
spreader for complete shutoff, pull
the On/Off control lever back to the
“OFF” position. Check to make sure
hole in the hopper is completely
closed. If not, loosen the cable
clamp and slide the cable forward
until the hole in hopper is closed.
Re-tighten bolt and check shutoff.

OPERATION
1. Check the product package for the rate
setting, and recommended swath width. Turn
the spreader off by pulling the lever to the
“OFF” position as shown.

OFF

2. The rate setting is adjusted by rotating the
rate cam to the desired setting. The rate cam
locks at each setting.

3. Always fill the spreader on the driveway or
sidewalk-not on the lawn. Make sure spreader is
in the “OFF” position. Empty after each use.

4. Start spreader moving, then open spreader
by moving the lever to the “ON” position.
Always push spreader, never pull. Pull the lever
to the “OFF position to close spreader.

5. Hold handle so top of spreader is level. Tipping
the spreader too far can cause uneven spreading.

6. The settings and swath widths on the product
label are recommended starting points. Always
check the delivery rate and pattern on a small area
before treating a large area. Actual delivery rate
can vary due to weather conditions, operating
variables, and condition of the product being
applied. See “HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER
SETTING AND SWATH WIDTH” for details.

8. Empty spreader after each use. Return

7. Push spreader 2 1/2 m.p.h. (18 feet in 5
seconds) for full 8’ to 14’ spread pattern when
applying fertilizer products. Apply header strips
at each end of area to be treated then space
trips across the area as shown.

leftover material to its original container.

HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER
SETTINGS AND SPREAD WIDTH
Two major factors should be considered when determining correct spreader settings of any
product:
1. The product application rate, or the amount of material applied per 1,000 square feet.
2. The effective pattern width, or the actual width in which material is applied. Label settings
are a guide and can be affected by numerous factors.

EFFECTIVE PATTERN WIDTH
A simple visual pattern test can be
made by operating the spreader over a
non-turf area and evaluating the pattern.
A more accurate method is to place a
row of common, disposable, aluminum
cake pans approximately 1 foot on
centers. Set the rate cam at a middle
setting and make 3 or 4 passes in the
same direction as shown. Pour the
material collected from each pan into
individual bottles of the same size. Set
them side by side in order, and visually
inspect their volume. The effective
pattern width is the distance out from
the spreader to a point where the
amount of material is 1/2 the average
amount in the center pans. This
distance is multiplied by 2 to achieve
the total effective pattern width.

APPLICATION RATE
Knowing the effective pattern width (for example,
10 feet), measure a distance equal to 100 square
feet (10’ x 10’ area covered). Determine the
product coverage is pounds/ 100 sq. ft. by taking
the weight of the product and dividing it by the
recommended square foot coverage (add two
zeroes to the weight of the bag).
EXAMPLE: Product weight: 25 lbs.
sq. ft. coverage: 5,000 sq. ft.
2500 lbs. - 5,000 sq. ft.
= .5 lbs. / 100 sq. ft.

Weigh out between 15 to 20 lbs. of
material and spread over the 100 sq. ft.
area. Weigh remaining material left in
hopper and adjust rate setting as
required. Repeat test until application
rate is correct.

The conversions should be used as guidelines for establishing proper rate settings for the particular product
being applied. Steps for obtaining the most accurate settings are outlined in the “How to Determine Spreader
Settings and Spread Width” section of this manual.
These settings are approximate and may vary due to physical characteristics of the product. Walking speed.
wear, condition of the turf and humidity, may cause actual rate setting to deviate. No expressed nor implied
warranty or guarantee is provided as to coverage or uniformity indicated by these rate settings.

MAINTENANCE
1. Never store unused material in spreader. Return
unused product to its original container.

Oil Impeller Shaft
Bearing In Hopper

2. Open and wash spreader thoroughly after each
use and dry completely in sun or heated area.
3. Oil the axle bearings, impeller shaft bearing in
hopper.
4. Remove gear cover and wash gears thoroughly.
Oil all bearing areas and face of gear teeth. Reinstall gear cover.
5. Gear mesh should be checked on a regular basis
during high use periods. Clearance between the
axle gear and pinion gear should be minimal but not
tight. If adjustment is necessary, loosen axle collar
set screw and hold gears together. Slide axle collar
against the gear support and tighten axle collar set
screw. Spin drive wheel. Gears should run freely
and smoothly.

Axle Collar

6. Impeller surface should be cleaned periodically to
remove build-up of product. Build-up can cause the
spread pattern to change.
7. Tire pressure should be 20-25 PSI.
