ASSEMBLY

NOTE: Before assembly ensure there are no missing parts or fixtures.

Refer to fig.1.

Slide the Impeller (18) over the vertical axle on the gear box (16).

Secure the Impeller to the axle with a round head bolt M4x20 (6).

Refer to fig.2.

Insert the connecting tubes (25) into the support leg (20) and hold with hex bolt M6x45 (1).

Insert the other two hex bolts M6x45 (1) through the middle holes in the connecting tubes, ready for step 3.

Refer to fig.3.

Slide the wheel assembly frame (19) over the bolts already in the support leg assembly. Secure with 4 M6 lock nuts (7).

Refer to fig.4.

Slide the axle (23) through one wheel (22), frame and gearbox, through the other leg of the frame and then the other wheel.

Looking at the spreader from the front, ensure the axle (23) is inserted from the left, so that the hole in the end of the axle (23) lines up with the hole in the right hand side wheel.

Secure the right hand wheel (22) to the axle (23) with the split pin (12).

Attach the axle (23) to the gear box with the M5 hex bolt (4) and lock nut (8).

Insert axle caps (14) into the middle of the wheels (22).

Refer to fig.5.

Lower the hopper (17) over the axle and onto the frame and secure with 4 hex bolts (2), large flat washers (11) and lock nuts (7).

Refer to fig.6.

Attach the gauge and lever assembly (24) to the inside of the handle assembly (21). Secure with M6x30 hex bolts (3) and M6 lock nuts (7).

Refer to fig.7.

Slide the handle assembly around the support leg assembly and secure with carriage bolts (5), flat washers (9) and wing nuts (15).

Insert the bent end of the control clamp wire into the small hole in the lever assembly (A).

Remove the hex bolt from cable clamp then insert the control cable into the clamp (B,C).

Re-insert hex bolts to clamp control cable in place.

Move the lever (D) down to open the spreader slots in the bottom of the hopper. If the holes are not fully exposed, loosen the cable clamp (C) and adjust the cable.

Insert R-pin (13) through top of the vertical axle.

OPERATION

The spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles an hour, which is a brisk walking pace. Slower or faster speeds will change the spread pattern. Wet fertiliser will also change the spread pattern.

Use the Stop bolt on the gauge to ensure the same amount of distribution.

See figs.8 & 9

for suggested walking patterns depending on the level of coverage you require.

Always start walking prior to opening the flow control plate.

Every time you are ready to stop, or turn to make a new pass, close the flow control plate to stop dispensing the material and continue one more stride. This reduces waste and avoids damaging a lawn with over saturated product coverage.

To ensure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous one.

Make sure that any broadcast material does not come into contact with trees, shrubs and flowers that could be harmed by the material.

Clean the spreader thoroughly after each use paying particular attention to the shut off plate and the bottom of the hopper.

CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED. (refer to Charts ‘A’ & ‘B’)

To calculate the amount of material needed e.g lawn fertiliser, divide the coverage stated on the packaging by the weight of the fertiliser bag. For example, a 10lb bag of fertiliser with a coverage of 10,0000 sq. ft. will distribute 1lb of fertiliser every 1,000 sq.ft. at full rate or 1/2lb. of fertiliser every 1,000 sq. ft. at half rate.

For precalculated rates see Chart ‘A’ (Example: A 25lb bag with a 15,000 sq. ft. coverage requires 1.7lb of fertiliser per 1,000 sq.ft.

Use Chart ‘B’ to find the closest spreader setting. For example, 1.7lb per 1000 sq.ft. = spreader setting 8)

MAINTENANCE

After each use clean material out of hopper.

Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use.

Before operating make sure that the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.

Periodically check all fastenings are tight.

Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.

Touch up all scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.

To avoid damaging the spreader never exceed the rated load capacity of 27kg.

STORAGE

Before storing ensure that the spreader is clean and dry.

Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather and in the winter months.

Never allow material to stay in the hopper for extended periods of time.
