See figure 9. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, FLOW CONTROL LINK MUST PIVOT FREELY. 14. Place vinyl grip on the flow control arm. See figure 9. 5 15. Assemble the flow control arm to the flow control mounting bracket using one 1/4” x 5/8” hex bolt and one 1/4” hex lock nut. See figure 10. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, FLOW CONTROL ARM MUST PIVOT FREELY. 16. Hook one end of extension spring through small hole near bend in flow control rod and the other end through hole in flow control mounting bracket. See figure 10. 17. Place a 5/16" flat washer over the end of flow control rod, and insert end of rod through slot in flow control mount bracket and through the hole in flow control link. Secure with a 3/32" x 3/4" cotter pin. See figure 11. 18. Hook free end of flow control rod through hole in slide gate bracket located near bottom of hopper. See figure 12. 19. Assemble the flow control mounting bracket to the hitch tube using two 1/4" x 1-3/4" hex bolts, two 5/16" flat washers and two 1/4" hex lock nuts. See figure 13. DO NOTTIGHTEN ATTHIS TIME. 6 20. Assemble the flow control gage onto the flow control mounting bracket using a 1/4" x 3/4" carriage bolt, a nylon washer and the plastic hand knob. See figure 14. HAND KNOB NYLON WASHER FLOW CONTROL GAUGE 1/4" x 3/4 CARRIAGE BOLT FLOW CONTROL MOUNTING BRACKET CONTROL ARM 1/4" HEX LOCK NUTS FIGURE 14 21. Move flow control arm to off position and slide flow control mounting bracket toward hopper until closure plate (located in bottom of hopper) is completely closed. Tighten 1/4” hex lock nuts assembled in step 19. See figure 14. 22. Pre-lubricate per lubrication section on page 9 before operating spreader. 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. See figure 15. APPLICATION DIAGRAM FLOW RATE CHART 3 M.P.H. OVERLAP FIGURE 15 NOTE 3 M.P.H. is equivalent to traveling 100 feet in 23 seconds. FLOW RATE ADJUSTMENT. (See figure 16) 1. Push back on the flow control arm to off position and pull forward to on position. The higher the number on flow rate gage the larger the opening in the bottom of hopper. 2. REFER TO FLOW RATE CHART AND INSTRUCTIONS ON FERTILIZER BAG TO SELECT PROPER FLOW RATE SETTING. 3. Loosen the hand knob to set the flow gage to the desired flow setting and tighten the hand knob. 4. Always move flow control arm to off position before stopping or turning spreader. 5. The spreader should be moving before you move the flow control arm to the on position. MATERIAL TYPE Flow Rate Setting At 3 M.P.H. Light Heavy Fertilizer Granular — Pelleted — 3 5 5 7 Grass Seed Fine-Blue- grass, Coarse-Rye, Fescue, 2 4 6 8 Ice Melters Granular Pelleted 6 8 NOTE Do not use powdered lime, only granulated materials are approved 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 gage at number indicated in flow rate chart —light or heavy application rate. Also, refer to the bag instructions for manufacturers recommended settings. 3. Break up lumpy fertilizer as you fill hopper. * 4. To broadcast, always start tractor in motion before opening closure plate. Do not allow tractor to sit stationary with flow control arm in on position. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak down thoroughly with garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of lawn. IMPORTANT: Application rates (shown on chart) are affected by humidity and moisture content of material (granular and pellet); therefore, minor setting adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this condition. The rate chart is calculated for light and heavy application. The faster you drive, the wider the broadcast width. A variation in speed will determine the flow rates and width of broadcast. A CAUTION When broadcasting weed control fertilizers make sure broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs. 8 MAINTENANCE 1. Do not store Spreader with any material left in hopper. * 2. Clean your spreader after use. Flush thoroughly with water. 3. If for any reason the axle, gear and sprocket assemble is disassembled, be sure to mark position of parts as they are removed. Drive wheel and sprocket position determine relation direction of spreader plate. See figure 7 on page 5. With reassembly of gear and sprocket use shim washers (see page 10 Ref. No. 21) 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 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. 5. Keep tires inflated to 15-20 P.S.I. Do not over inflate. MAX...
