Operating Instructions

Model 299
The Mulch-n-More 290 Super series all operate basically the same.
The 296 (powder coated frame) and 297 (stainless steel frame) are push-mod-
els and the 297 (powder coated frame) and 299 (stainless steel frame) are
pull models designed for small tractors. ATV's Gators ® and other light equip-
ment. All 90 series have solid stainless axle, metal drive gears and
welded frames making this the most durable, long lasting ground driven
spreader on the market today.
The following is a description of Mulch-n-More 288 Super series
operating instructions...
All units come standard with a regular spinner blade for spreading seed,
fertilizer, granular chemical products and other lower rate granular products.
There are a variety of optional attachments for the 290 series...
1. Mulch Spinner Blade... Used for spreading a variety of products from Pellet
Mulch such as PennMulch® to Dry Sand, Salt and other difficult to spread
high volume or large particle products. With Spyker's patent pending
removable spinner blade you can change to mulch blade in a matter of
seconds. All other spreaders that are on the market require the removal of
the hopper to access the spinner blade which can take as long as 1/2 to
1 hour to do. No other spreader company manufactures a "mulch basket
spinner blade" for use with high volume products.
2. Calibration Pan... Used for calibrating the Turf product for accurate
spreading to reduce waste and increase effectiveness of the product.
This is the latest, greatest attachment for the 290 series. Calibrate
without moving the spreader.
3. Border Patrol... Used for guarding collars, greens, flower beds,
driveways and sidewalks from fertilizer or pesticide materials. Stop flow to
one side. Easily turned on and off with your foot while continuing to spread.
4. Barrier Shield... For use with ice melt products and salt to deflect the
product down on to the sidewalk (3' width pattern) essentially converting
the rotary spreader to a drop spreader for sidewalks.
