This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending on the material used and the towing speed. 2. To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about 5 feet from the previous one so some overlapping of spread pattern does occur. 3. For easiest application, spread across the shortest edges of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a turning area, and then spreading between the header strips. See figure 6. 4. If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the edges and then spread between the border. See figure 6. 5. Keep wheel approximately 4 feet from any area you do not wish to spread. IMPORTANT: Be careful when using spreader around ornamental plants because weed control chemicals can damage these plants. OPERATION HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER ADJUSTING THE FLOW RATE SETTING 1. Loosen the wing nut that fastens the control to the handle. 2. Slide the Adjustable stop to the desired setting and retighten the wing nut. See figure 5. FLOW CONTROL LEVERADJUSTABLE STOP FIGURE 6 FIGURE 5 MAINTENANCE & STORAGE USING YOUR SPREADER 1. Check the material package and the Spreader Settings sheet included with your spreader for the proper spreader setting and application rate. 2. Before filling spreader, move the control lever to the "OFF" position. 3. Move spreader onto a flat surface - either a walk or a driveway - and fill. 4. Slide the Adjustable Stop to the desired setting. 5. Start the spreader in motion, then move the control lever forward against the adjustable stop to begin spreading. 6. Maximum towing speed - 3 M.P.H. NOTE: Always place control lever in the "OFF" position while filling spreader and when stopping or turning, to prevent release of excess fertilizer. CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS 1. Make a thorough visual check of the Spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts. LUBRICATION 1. Apply a few drops of oil to all moving parts. CLEANING 1. Always empty spreader after each use, storing leftover material in it's original bag. 2. Wash the spreader and dry thoroughly after each use. STORAGE 1. Empty and clean the hopper as instructed in maintenance section. 2. Store in a clean, dry area. OPERACION SUGERENCIAS DE APLICACION 1. Esta unidad cubre una franja de 1,2 a 2,4 metros de ancho, segun el material que se use y el ritmo a que camine el usuario. 2. Para evitar vacios en la aplicacion o la creacion de bandas de translape, haga cada pase a mas o menos 1,5 m del pase anterior para evitar que se formen estas franjas. 3. Para hacer la aplicacion mas facil, haga primero el rociado en las cabeceras de los bordes mas cortos del prado, creando franjas de giro en los dos extremos y, luego, rocie entre las dos franjas el resto del prado. Vea la Figura 6. 4. Si el prado tiene un contorno irregular, rocie el material a lo largo de una franja paralela al borde y, luego, continue la operacion entre estas franjas. Vea la Figura 6. 5. Mantenga la rueda de la unidad, mas cercana al borde del prado, a mas o menos 1,2 m de distancia de la zona donde usted no desea esparcir material. IMPORTANTE: Tenga cuidado al usar el esparcidor cerca de plantas ornamentales, pues los materiales de control de maleza pueden danar esta clase de plantas. INSTRUCCIONES DE OPERACION AJUSTE DEL REGIMEN DE DESCARGA 1. Afloje la tuerca de mariposa que asegure el control a la manija. 2. Deslice el Tope Ajustable a la graduacion deseada y vuelva a apretar la tuerca de mariposa. Vea la Figura 5. PALANCA DE CONTROLDE DESCARGATOPE AJUSTABLE FIGURA 6 FIGURA 5 MANTENIMIENTO Y ALMACENA...
