Resumen del manual
ponents from the carton. Turn spreader upside down. Insert (2) 1/4-20 x 1 1/2” hex bolts through the flattened end of handle brace, frame and leg as shown. Install hex nuts but do not tighten. Repeat on opposite side. Make sure braces are parallel and tighten all nuts. 1/4-20 Hex Nut 5/32 x 2” Cotter Pin 1/8 x 1” Cotter Pin Handle Brace Slide wheels onto axle with 2. the longer portion of the wheel facing the frame. The wheels are identical to ease assembly. Secure free turning wheel with (1) 1/8 x 1” cotter pin and (1) 5/32 x 2” cotter pin on the drive wheel. Free Turning Wheel Drive Wheel Handle Tube VIEWED FROM REAR OF SPREADER 1/4-20 x 2” Hex Bolt Turn spreader upright and 3. install handle tube between braces. Secure with (2) 1/4- 20 x 2” hex bolts and nuts. Tighten handle brace nuts installed in step 1. 1/4-20 Hex Nut Handle Grip Control Knob & Wire Assembly Remove Caution Label Feed control knob/wire through 4. the T-handle until spring touches the round hole. CAUTION: Do Not Compress Spring At This Time. Feed wire through the square handle tube. Be sure wire passes above the bolts in the handle brace. Secure T-handle to the tube with (1) 1/4-20 x 2” hex bolt. (2) washers, and (1) hex nut in the bottom hole, and (1) 1/4-20 x 2 1/4” hex bolt, (2) washers, and (1) hex nut in the top hole as shown. Remove caution label and push the thumb release toward the center and push down knob and shutoff spring until knob latches. Spring Thumb Release 1/4-20 x 2 1/4” Bolt & Washer 1/4-20 Hex Nut & Washer CAUTION: ONCE KNOB IS LATCHED, DO NOT MOVE THUMB RELEASE UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED STEP #5. Wire Clip Slide wire retaining clip onto 5. wire as shown. Insert wire through hole shutoff plate. Slide wire retaining clip over shutoff plate and wire until the clip locks into place. Wire Shutoff Plate Handle Grip Install gear cover assembly over gears 6. and secure with (2) #6-32 screws. The 41RS spreader should now be completely assembled and ready for use. Slide handle grips onto handle. Soapy water will ease installation. (Do not use petroleum based products.) #6-32 Screw #6-32 Screw OPERATION Check the product package for the rate 1. setting, and recommended swath width. Turn the spreader off by pushing the control knob in. Rotate the rate cam to the proper setting. Always fill the spreader on the driveway 2. or sidewalk-not on the lawn. Make sure spreader is in the “OFF” position. Empty after each use. Start spreader moving, then open 3. spreader by pushing the thumb release to the “ON” position. Always push spreader, never pull. Push knob down to close spreader. Hold handle so top of spreader is level. 4. Tipping the spreader too far can cause uneven spreading. The settings and swath widths on the product 5. label are recommended starting points. Always check the delivery rate and pattern on a small area before treating a large area. Actual delivery rate can vary due to weather conditions, operating variables, and condition of the product being applied. See “HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER SETTING AND SWATH WIDTH” for details. Push spreader 3 1/2 m.p.h. (26 feet in 5 6. seconds) for full 8’ to 10’ spread pattern when applying fertilizer products. Apply header strips at each end of area to be treated then space trips across the area as shown. Push spreader at 2 1/2 mph (18 feet in 5 7. seconds) to reduce width of spread when applying ice melt products to sidewalks. Empty spreader after each use. Return 8. leftover material to its original container. HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER SETTINGS AND SPREAD WIDTH Two major factors should be considered when determining correct spreader settings of any product: The product application rate, or the amount of material applied per 1,000 square feet. 1. The effective pattern width, or the actual width in which material is applied. Label set2. tings are a guide and can be affected by numerous factors. EFFECTIVE PATTERN WIDTH A simple visual pattern test can be made by operating the spreader over a non- turf area and evaluating the pattern. A more accurate method is to place a row of common, disposable, aluminum cake pans approximately 1 foot on centers. Set the rate cam at a middle setting and make 3 or 4 passes in the same direction as shown. Pour the material collected from each pan into individual bottles of the same size. Set them side by side in order, and visually inspect their volume. The effective pattern width is the distance out from the spreader to a point where the amount of material is 1/2 the average amount in the center pans. This distance is multiplied by 2 to achieve the total effective pattern width. Space for Wheel Track Space Pan 1’0” on Centers APPLICATION RATE Knowing the effective pattern width (for example, 10 feet), measure a distance equal to 100 square feet (10’ x 10’ swath width). Determine the product coverage is pounds/ 100 sq. ft. by the recommended square foot coverage (add two zeroes to the weight of the bag). EXAMPLE: Product weight: 25 lbs. sq. ft. coverage...
