CARE OF SPREADER
- Before putting spreader away
flush hoppeiK agitator, and shutter with water. If seed is used,
washing is not necessary. Cover bottom of hopper with a
light film of oil to prevent corrosion...When spreader is not in
use store in closed position. This prevents prolonged tension
on spring...Avoid using damp materials or exposing spreader
to rain.
Shutter should open evenly and be snug
on entire length of hopper.
If adjusting your shutter becomes nece­
ssary, invert the spreader and loosen
the four bolts slightly. Tap shutter into
correct position and retighten.
Shutter opening should be V4” at #8 indi­
cator setting.
