5. Break up any lumps as you fill the Hopper with the material to be spread.
6. Start the vehicle in motion and then toggle the ROTO-HOG Control Box
switch to "ON" and move the Flow Control Lever up to lock with the
Adjustable Stop.
NOTE: Move the Flow Control Lever to off (“OFF”) before turning or stopping.
7. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the broadcast pattern
slightly overlaps the pattern from the previous pass (Figure 28). The
approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the
application chart on this page.
8. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over the hopper to keep
contents dry. The Vinyl Cover acts as a wind and moisture shield, but should
not be used as a rain cover (Figure 29).
9. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in an area, soak the area
thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
Removing the DR Power Spreader
1. Disconnect the Wire Harness Connector from the Motor Mount Assembly
Connector. Remove the Flow Control Valve Assembly from the rear of the
vehicle if it is attached there.
2. Support the Spreader and remove the Wing knobs, Washers and Carriage
Bolts from the Spreader Bracket Tubes.
3. Remove the Spreader from the tiller.
OPERATING YOUR DR CULTI-PACKER
Setting the Culti-packer to Operating Position
NOTE: The following procedure assumes the Culti-packer is in the transport position.
1. Lower the tines on the Tiller to halfway position with the Tiller Control Box.
2. Lift up on the Culti-packer as you lift up on the Hook Assembly to disengage
the Hook Assembly Slot from the Tiller Wheel Mount Assembly (Figure 30).
NOTE: Holding down on the Hook Assembly Handle will help to engage the slot
when you reach that point.
3. Slide the Hook Assembly down until the upper slot engages with the rod of
the Tiller Wheel Mount Assembly.
4. Raise the Tiller Tines to their uppermost position with the Tiller Control Box.
5. The Culti-packer Wheels are now engaged with the soil and the Tiller Wheels
are lifted off the ground.
6. The Culti-packer is now ready to use.
Operating tips
• For best results it may be necessary to pack the soil before seeding and then pack the soil a second time after seeding.
• The Culti-packer can be used to break up clumps and to give soils a smooth finished appearance.
•
If desired, the Culti-packer can be left in the “operating” position when the Tow Vehicle is being reversed.
