cause the spreader to clog or even damage the drive system. Never
leave material in the hopper when not in use.

tOOLs NEEDED FOR AssEMBLY
• (2) 10mm Wrenches
• (2) 1/2 in Wrenches
Attaching the Handle, Linkage Plate Assembly, and Lower
Linkage – Figures 2 – 6
A. Remove contents from box and place the preassembled
portion of the spreader upright on its wheels
B. Slide the Handle onto the spreader frame & line up the holes
C. Carefully insert the Lower Linkage into the Restrictor Plate
underneath the Hopper as shown. (The Lower Linkage has
two bent ends & the Upper Linkage has one threaded end)
D. Insert the other end of the Lower Linkage into the front
hole on the Linkage Plate Assembly
E. Attach the Linkage Plate Assembly and Handle to the
Frame using two M6x40 bolts as shown. Figure 6 shows the
lower linkage assembled (for reference).
NOTE: The Lower Linkage must be attached to the restric-
tor and the Linkage Plate Assembly before the Assembly
is attached to the frame. If the Linkage Plate Assembly is
attached to the Frame without the Lower Linkage, the Lower
Linkage will be very difficult to assemble and may cause the
restrictor plate to be broken during assembly
Attach control Handle Assembly, Upper Linkage, & Rear
Deflector – Figure 7 & 8
F. Mount the Control Handle Assembly to the Handle using
two M6x40 bolts as shown.
G. Insert the Upper Linkage into the Control Handle as shown.

neath the Hopper is fully open when the Control Handle is at
"30". Assemble the second jam nut in this position to lock the
linkage in place.
I. Verify that the Restrictor Plate may be fully closed by
pushing the Control Handle forward.

and Gear mesh well and turn freely when pushing and pull-
ing the unit.
B. Place the Screen in the hopper.
C. Install the Rain Cover on the hopper.
Operation
1. Before filling Hopper, ensure that the Restrictor Plate is
fully closed and the screen is in place.
2. Move and tighten the stop bolt to the desired setting.
3. Begin moving forward with the spreader.
4. Pull the Control Handle back to the stop bolt to open
Restrictor Plate and allow material to flow.
5. Before stopping, push the Control Handle fully forward to
stop flow.
Maintenance
1. The Hopper and Spinner should be completely emptied
and cleaned before storage.
2. The Spreader should be washed and dried before storage.
3. Check that the Restrictor Plate and Linkage move freely.
Clear out any debris between the Restrictor Plate & the Hopper.
4. Check that there is no debris in the Gears & that they
move freely.
5. Check torque of all fasteners on a monthly basis.
Operation Notes:
1. The spreader is designed to be operated at a brisk walking
pace (approx. 3mph). Walking slower or faster will alter the
distribution pattern & amount of the material, as will the mois-
ture content of the material & other environmental factors.
2. Grease may be applied to the Pinion & Large Drive Gear
as desired.
