5. OPERATION
5.1. The spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles an hour, which is a brisk
walking pace. Slower or faster speeds will change the spread pattern. Wet
fertiliser will also change the spread pattern.
5.2. Use the Stop bolt on the gauge to ensure the same amount of distribution.
5.3. See figs.8 & 9 for suggested walking patterns depending on the level of coverage
you require.
5.4. Always start walking prior to opening the flow control plate.
5.5. Every time you are ready to stop, or turn to make a new pass, close the flow
control plate to stop dispensing the material and continue one more stride.
This reduces waste and avoids damaging a lawn with over saturated product
coverage.
5.6. To ensure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly
overlaps the previous one.
5.7. Make sure that any broadcast material does not come into contact with trees,
shrubs and flowers that could be harmed by the material.
5.8. Clean the spreader thoroughly after each use paying particular attention to the
shut off plate and the bottom of the hopper.
5.9. CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED. (refer to Charts 'A' &
'B')
5.9.1. To calculate the amount of material needed e.g lawn fertiliser, divide the
coverage stated on the packaging by the weight of the fertiliser bag. For
example, a 10lb bag of fertiliser with a coverage of 10,0000 sq. ft. will distribute
1lb of fertiliser every 1,000 sq.ft. at full rate or 1/2lb. of fertiliser every 1,000 sq.
ft. at half rate.
5.9.2. For precalculated rates see Chart 'A' (Example: A 25lb bag with a 15,000 sq. ft. coverage requires 1.7lb of fertiliser per 1,000 sq.ft.
5.9.3. Use Chart 'B' to nd the closest spreader setting. For example, 1.7lb per 1000 sq.ft. = spreader setting 8)
