ASSEMBLY HARDWARE
Assembly Steps
STEP 1: Open carton and remove the handle assembly wheels, and spreader
from carton.
STEP 2: Turn spreader upside-down on to the hopper.
STEP 3 : Ensure that the axle bearings are pushed into the axle bushing on both sides as shown. Install drive wheel both wheels are interchangeable) to axle using pin hole nearest to lower handles as shown. Insert Pin-Pipe Lynch Spring through wheel and through axle. Bend with pliers to prevent pin from falling out.
STEP 4: Install coast wheel to axle, then using outside pin hole as shown, insert Lynch pin through axle (not thru the wheel). Bend with pliers to prevent pin from falling out.
Step 5: Install handle shaft to lower handles and pivot & bracket assembly as shown using 2” bolts and locknuts. TIGHTEN BOLTS AND NUTS NOW.
Step 6: (This step is only required if you want to change the position of
the handles). NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING GAUGE AND UPPER HANDLES TO HANDLE SHAFT,
UPPER HANDLES FEATURE THREE POSITONS FOR OPERATOR’S COMFORT. If operator
chooses middle or upper positions, use handle spacer in hole nearest to handle
grips.
Insert 2” bolt through upper handle, then through handle spacer through other
upper and secure with locknut. DO NOT TIGHTEN LOCKNUT YET. TIGHTEN THIS NUT
LAST.
Now slide the UPPER HANDLE assembly over the HANDLE SHAFT (on the end with the
bolt holes closer to the end). Install gauge & lever using (2) 2” bolts. Be
sure gauge is on left hand side. Tighten locknuts to gauge first.
TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE NOW.
Step 7: Install Control Rod by inserting flattened end of Control Rod
into Lever on Gauge as shown. Turn to lock in place. {Make sure that there is
a plain ¼ -20 Hex Nut threaded about halfway up the threads}.
Push lever forward to full OPEN setting. Align and push the Control Rod
through the angle attached to the Pivot Bracket. Now install ¼ -20 regular nut
on to Control Rod. {One nut on either side of the angled plate}.
Next pull pivot & bracket back so that the shut off plate in the hopper is in
the full open position and adjust the Hex Nuts on the Pivot Bracket angle to
secure the angled bracket. Now tighten the nuts against the pivot angled
bracket to prevent change in calibration.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.
Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting.
While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt.
To stop, push lever forward to close flow holes before you stop moving.
When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper.
Thoroughly wash spreader and dry before storing. A coating of light oil will
help prevent corrosion.
HELPFUL HINTS
Read the directions before assembly.
If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure “FRONT” on the GEARBOX points
to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise when pushing
forward. Reversing the GEARBOX during assembly will cause issues.
Your spreader is calibrated for three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking
speed. Slower or faster speeds will change the spread pattern. Do not use
powdered materials as it will damage the gearbox.
Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the GEARBOX or
dirt may enter.
