CHART B – SPREADER SETTINGS/SPREAD WIDTHS*
(*) These are only estimates actual spreader setting and widths may vary depending on material.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MATERIALS THAT DO NOT USE A TYPICAL 5,000 Sq. Ft, 10,000 Sq. Ft. & 15,000 Sq. Ft. COVERAGE VALUE
To obtain the proper spreader setting for the material being spread, follow these steps:
1. Find the total weight in lbs. of the product from the product label on the bag of material.
2. Find the coverage amount in square feet that the product is rated for from the product label on the bag of
material.
3. Divide the bag weight rated in lbs. by the square feet coverage rated on the bag.
4. Take this result and multiply it by 1000.
5. This final number is the lbs. of material to be spread per 1000 square feet.
6. Use this number in Chart B to obtain the proper spreader setting.
As an example:
1. The fertilizer bag weighs 10 lbs.
2. The coverage value is rated at 2000 square feet.
3. 10 lbs. / 2000 square ft. = 0.005
4. 0.005 × 1000 = 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
Using this number in Chart B, you would obtain a spreader setting of 17.
MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATE
Maintenance spray or multi-purpose grease can be applied to the wheel axle prior to long-term storage. Oiling
is not necessary.
GEARBOX
DO NOT open the gearbox. The gears are permanently lubricated from the factory and do not need lubricating.
CHECK TYRE INFLATION
Prior to using the spreader, ensure the tyres are sufficiently inflated. We recommend the use of FOOT or HAND
inflation devices only. Do not inflate above 25psi.
CLEANING
After each use thoroughly wash the spreader and clean material out of the hopper.
STORING
Never allow material to stay in the hopper for extended periods of time.
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.
CHECK ALL NUTS, BOLTS AND FASTENING
Periodically check all fastenings are tight & secure.
NEVER EXCEED LOAD CAPACITY
To avoid damaging the spreader, never exceed the rated load capacity of 57kg (125lb).
