The spread width ranges from 4 ft. to 12 ft. wide, depending on the volume/density, particle size of the material and the rate of travel. The spread thins or feathers at the outer edges, eliminating sharp, "Edge of spread" lines which cause stripes and streaks. Extra coverage can be given under trees and other heavy feeding areas without showing "edge of spread" lines. Gaps and double overlaps are less likely. Small errors in travel are forgiven and do not show. WARNING: When spreading products containing herbicides, exercise extreme caution with respect to careless spreading and to wind-drift. CONTACT OF SOME PRODUCTS ON SOME PLANTS CAN BE FATAL. If a dial setting is not found, use the size and weight comparison table found on the back page. Determine a dial setting on the low side. If the setting proves to be too low, cover the area more than one time. A higher setting can be used when a proven dial setting is established. REMEMBER - Published dial settings can be approximate only. The operation of the spreader, the condition of the material (damp or dry or over-pulverized) and weather conditions, are all contributing factors. For these reasons, it's often a good idea to spread the area 2 times at one-half rate - in cross directions (SEE INFORMATION ON ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS ON REFERENCE CHART ON THE BACK PAGE. SPREADING AT ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UNDER DAMP & HUMID CONDITIONS. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THE SPREADER BEFORE YOU PUT MATERIAL IN THE HOPPER. Practice walking with the spreader, opening and closing the rate gate at the appropriate times. Travel at a constant speed and operate the spreader lever position. Optional Accessories 11-111-1111 Parts Remember: Open the rate gate after the spreader is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph.). Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational speed. 6 7 Read Before Using Rotary Agitator Use the rotary agitator only if needed. Free-flowing, lump-free materials will not require the agitator. The rotary agitator is easily installed or removed. Note the clockwise rotation & sweep. Place felt washer around spinner shaft before inserting agitator. OIL BEARINGS AND ALL MOVING PARTS Make certain the spreader is running freely! Read Before Using NOTE: With the rotary agitator installed, the rate gate closed (not spreading) and with material in the hopper, the spreader will push harder than normal. (This is because the agitator is stirring the material and it has no place to go.) RECOMMENDATION: When not spreading and the spreader is being pushed some distance, tip the spreader so only the idle wheel is on the ground. Cleaning the Spreader is Part of the Spreading Job. IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE - CLEAN AND OIL THE SPREADER · Method #1 bearing areas. Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth. Oil all bearings and Now You are Ready to Put Material in the Hopper · Make certain the rate gate is in closed position. · As insurance against spill damage and spill loss, put material in the hopper with the spreader on a walk, driveway, paper, plastic, etc. · The spreader will be easier to use if you only half-fill the hopper. Later on you can fill the hopper if you so choose. · Or for added capacity, the inverted bag in the hopper can serve as a capacity extension. Also, an extension hopper, complete with filtering and pulverizing screen, is available from the manufacturer. · Method #2 - Wash, rinse, and dry the spreader. Note: Drying takes time. (Moisture trapped in bearing areas is slow to go.) Immediately after drying oil all bearings and moving parts. Make certain all operations are thorough. Note: Good "Dry Cleaning" is preferable to poor "Wet Cleaning". · · · It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on a clean, dry, oiled surface. Again - just before using - oil all bearings and moving parts. In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by the handle. In any case, do not pile weight on the spreader, as excess weight over a period of time can distort the tires. Now You are Ready to Spread · Spread header strips at the ends of the area OPPOSITE the direction of spreading. This will provide a "turn-around" area, an area to re-align the spreader for the return spread. · Example is for 6 ft. wide spread: Make the first spreading pass at one-half the spread width from the edge of the spreading area or in this case approximately 3 feet or one big step. · Additional spreading passes will be at the full spread width or approximately 6 feet apart. · TAKE A SIGHTING AT THE FAR END. Keep your eye on the sighting as you spread. You will not need to wonder where you are or where you have been. Continue until spreading is completed. Broadcast spreading is as old as early man. In the early days of agriculture, field seeding was accomplished with hand cast broadcasting. The hand cast method of seeding was a limited factor in growing field crops that were hand seeded. Mechanized casting came into being in 1868 when Samuel Speicher invented the Hand Crank "Cyclone" Seeder. The seed sower was a breakthrough in field seeding. It was hailed as a major advancement in agricultural implements. Paul Speicher put the hand crank seeder on wheels in 1955. This development ushered in a new era in spreading and spreading products. New products and product forms adapted to broadcast spreading were developed. In 1988 a new dimension was added to broadcast spreading SPREAD PATTERN CONTROL - a dead center spread pattern equalizer. Spyker's Accuway® spread pattern equalizer solves a complicated problem with a fundamental patented solution. Did You Know?
