Operating the Spreader cont.
11)
Apply the granular material on 18-foot center passes. The outer edge of the fertilizer pattern should fall
between the wheel tracks of your previous pass(see diagram on page 17). This will require a total
spread width of 18'.
12)
Evaluate the spread pattern:
a)
If the spread pattern is good continue to spread at a recommended speed of 5 MPH.
b)
Adjust the spread pattern as necessary.
13)
When applicable, use the deflector shield to prevent granular material from being spread to the
right side of the machine.
NOTE:
When using the deflector be sure to reduce the fertilizer rate to avoid over fertilizing the area.
14)
Move the hopper lever to the CLOSED position.
15)
Clean the hopper after each day's use.
Cleaning the Spreader - Daily
Always empty and properly clean the spreader unit immediately after each use.
1)
Drive the machine to a designated cleaning area.
2)
Stop the machine on a level surface, turn off the engine and engage the parking brake.
3)
Empty the contents of the hopper and place the material into the original bag for future use.
4)
Using a garden hose, spray the inside and outside of the entire spreader with clean water.
·
IMPORTANT
Use caution when using a power washer to clean the machine. The high
pressure water may force residual corrosive materials into other parts of
the spreader and sprayer units.
5) Allow the machine to dry completely before the next use.
Sprayer Operation
The sprayer unit is designed to disperse liquid materials only.
NOTE:
The sprayer unit and the spreader unit can be operated at the same time to provide an even distribution
of both the sprayed and spread products to an area.
Refer to the TR460 Calibration Sheet on Page 18 for more information about the liquid application.
