Page 11: Choosing An Appropriate Substance
1. Quality and Characteristics It is very important to choose a high-quality topdressing substrate. For greatest cost efficiency, Ecolawn recommends using a bulk substrate which is friable, has a moisture content lower than 65%, and contains no inorganic matter (plastic, glass, or concrete, etc.) or raw organic matter (such as pieces of wood, raw manure). -
Page 12: Troubleshooting And Adjustments
Troubleshooting and Adjustments Important: Most adjustments are remedied in the field with just a few procedures The most frequent problems encountered involve the conveyor, but these can easily be resolved with a few simple solutions. Check the following issues for your particular problem, and make the corresponding adjustments as needed. - Page 13 Issue: The spreader's hopper is full. The conveyor has been activated by pulling the conveyor activation lever toward you, but the conveyor belt is not turning even though the tension rod has been adjusted properly and the conveyor drive roller is turning. Solution: Adjust the tension bolts of the conveyor belt system on each side, 1/2 turn at a time on both sides equally, to increase the tension on the conveyor belt.
- Page 14 Issue: The spreader moves forward and the conveyor works, but the spreading disk does not spin. Solution: To free the disk, turn the machine off, and then turn the spinner disk backward manually to remove any debris. Visually inspect the pulleys and clean them as needed. If the pulley groove used to turn the spinner disk has collected substrate, it may cause the belt to come off.

Page 15: General Maintance
General Maintenance 1. Shaft Bearings Grease the bearings after every 50 hours of operation. 2. V-belts The proper belt tension is tight enough that the belts will not slip during operation. Occasionally, belt tension must be readjusted. Do not over-adjust the tension, as this may damage other parts. ww w. -
