Attach an angle stop bracket and a swivel bracket to the rear hole in the R.H. shield bracket using a 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolt, two 5/16" washers, a nylon washer and a 1/4" hex lock nut. Place the angle stop bracket on the inside and the swivel bracket on the outside. Tighten the locknut so that the swivel bracket can pivot freely. See figure 13. Repeat step on L.H. shield bracket. 25. Attach a swivel bracket to the front hole in the R.H. shield bracket using a 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolt, two 5/16" washers, a nylon washer and a 1/4" hex lock nut. Tighten the locknut so that the swivel bracket can pivot freely. See figure 13.

Assemble the spreader shield to the front swivel brackets using two 1/4" x 3/4" carriage bolts, 5/16" washers and the two 1/4" plastic knobs. See figure 14. 27. Assemble the spreader shield to the rear swivel brackets using two 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolts, four 5/16" washers and two 1/4" hex lock nuts. Tighten the locknuts so that the swivel bracket can still pivot freely. See figure 14. 5/16" WASHER 1/4" x 3/4" HEX BOLT1/4" LOCK NUT PLASTIC KNOB 1/4" x 3/4" CARRIAGE BOLT FIGURE 14 28. Place the hopper screen down into the hopper to help break up clumpy material and to prevent large clumps from reaching the bottom of the hopper and clogging the opening. See figure 15. SHIELD UP HOPPER SCREEN FIGURE 15 8 OPERATION HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL (Refer to figure 12 on page 7.) 1. Refer to the application chart on page 8 and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow rate setting. 2. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut. The higher the setting number, the wider the opening in the bottom of the hopper. 3. Pull the flow control arm against the adjustable stop for the on position and toward the hopper for the off position. SETTING THE SPREADER SHIELD 4. For a normal spread pattern used in open areas, loosen the plastic knob on each side of the shield, raise the shield and retighten the knobs. 5. For a restricted spread pattern when applying material next to sensitive plants or in a confined area, loosen the plastic knob on each side of the shield, lower the shield and retighten the knobs. USING YOUR SPREADER We do not recommend the use of any powdered lawn chemicals, due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern. 1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate amount of material required. 2. Before filling the hopper make sure the flow control arm is in the off position and the closure plate is shut. 3. Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in the off position. Refer to the application chart on this page and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the appropriate flow rate setting. 4. Fill the hopper with up to 125 pounds of material, breaking up any lumps. The hopper screen helps prevent any large lumps from clogging the opening in the bottom of the hopper. 5. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy application at a walking speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 seconds. A variation in speed will require an adjustment of the flow rate to maintain the same coverage. The faster you walk, the wider the broadcast width. 6. Always start the spreader in motion before opening the closure plate. 7. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping the spreader. 8. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn. 9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the previous pass as shown in figure 16. The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the application chart on this page. 10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs. Lower the spreader shield to limit the dispersal pattern. Reduce the flow control setting according to the application chart on page 10. 11. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be used as a rain cover.

Some minor setting adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this condition. APPLICATION CHART ...
