Operating Instructions
CAUTION
Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning one
lever too much ahead of the other. Operator may
lose control of the machine, which may cause
damage to the machine or injury.
• Use caution when making turns.
• Slow the machine down before making sharp
turns.
Note: Stopping distance may vary depending on the
spreader load.
Operating the Spreader
Accessory
The spreader accessory is designed to disperse grass
seed.
Before Operating the Spreader
Make sure the spreader has been calibrated for the
correct application rate of the grass seed to be spread
before starting (see Calculating the Application
Rate section).
Filling the Spreader Hopper
Important: Verify that the proper application
rate has been set prior to filling the hopper.
1.
Stop the unit on a level surface, move motion
control lever to the neutral position, stop the
engine, and set the parking brake.
2.
Ensure that the spreader gate is closed.
3.
Remove the cover from the hopper, add the grass
seed to be spread, and replace the cover.
Note: Do Not overload the hopper; the
maximum weight capacity of the hopper is 80 lb
(36 kg).
Calculating the Application Rate
1.
Determine the pounds per 1,000 ft
product to be applied.
2.
