Note:
If you need to adjustment the spreading
pattern, refer to Adjusting the Impeller-Speed
Control (page 26),
(page 27), and Adjusting the Spreader Pattern
(page 32).
6. When you are finished spreading, close the
hopper-door control.
7. Clean the hopper after each spreading session;
refer to Cleaning and Lubricating the Spreader
(page 42).
Important:
Always empty and clean the
spreader immediately after each use. Failure
to do so may cause the chemicals to corrode
the spreader and other components.
Spreading Tips
Important:
Ensure that you calibrate the spreader
before you start using it.
•
To ensure uniform application, broadcast pellet or
granular material in an overlapping pattern.
Note:
The highest amount of material will
dispense from the front of the hopper and less
material from each side. You can adjust the
distribution pattern to achieve the desired results.
•
Watch for changes in the distribution pattern;
unequal distribution may lead to striping.

Use the sprayer to disperse liquid herbicides,
pesticides, fertilizers, and other substances. Before
using the sprayer ensure that you have cleaned
the tank, plumbing, and nozzles before adding any
chemicals. When you use the sprayer, you first fill the
spray tank, then apply the chemical solution to the
work site, and then when you are finished spraying,
clean the tank. It is important to complete all 3 of
these steps to avoid damaging the sprayer. For
example, Do not mix and add chemicals in the spray
tank the night before and then spray in the morning.
This could lead to separation of the chemicals and
possible cause damage to components of the sprayer.
Important:
When you use your sprayer,
thoroughly clean it at the end of the day.
