Tighten the cable clamp bolt to secure the sheath. 7. Tighten the screw on the swivel to anchor the wire, making sure that the rate gate linkage is pushed up against the dial. 8. Trim excess wire behind swivel connector when finished (if necessary). 14.Secure the braces (27) loosely to the 2" frame with a 11/ bolt and nut. Braces must be on the inside of the frame. 4. Route cable through clamp, then through swivel and then tighten the cable clamp bolt just enough to allow the cable to slide back and forth easily. 5. Adjust sheath on cable so there is a 1/8" inch of control wire that is visible between the sheath and the edge of the rate gate linkage. 5 6 Rate Dial Adjustment Read Before Using 41 Exploded View Notes: 1. A Calibrator is also available to do it yourself. 2. The rate gate is closed by pushing the control lever away from you. The rate gate is opened by pulling the control lever toward you. 3. Either wheel can be used as the drive wheel. Dial Setting Information The RATE DIAL has 9 numbers with 10 stops between each number, for accurate control of the spreading rate. The dial is set with only a turn. It will automatically lock into the set position. LINE UP THE DIAL NUMBER WITH THE DIAL INDICATOR.

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. Remember: Open the rate gate after the spreader is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph., or at a brisk walking pace). Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational speed.

Model 30 Only 56 57 05-54-0004 05-300-0500 1 1 Spinner Shaft Hopper 9 10 Read Before Using 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. CONDITION Spreader Assembly Spreader pushes hard: 1 3 4 LOOK FOR . . . . . Dry bushings and corroded shafts. PROCEDURE. . . . Oil these points: 1. Bearing in hopper bottom. 2. Axle bearings. 3. Idle wheel bushing. 4. Bushing in gear box: a. Spinner shaft below gear; b. Hub end bevel gear; c. Hub end of spinner gear; d. Gears; e. Spinner shaft at gear box; f. Axle shaft at gear box. D B E 2 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. Left over fertilizer can be spread under trees and other high feeding areas without showing "edge of spread" ...
