Product Usage Instructions

Before using the F80S Commercial Broadcast Spreader with Standard Output Tray, it is important to assemble the product correctly. The user manual provides detailed instructions on how to do this, with step-by-step guides and diagrams to help you along the way. Once you have assembled the spreader, you can begin using it to spread fertilizer, seed, and other materials. To use the spreader, follow these steps:

1. Fill the hopper with the material you want to spread.
2. Adjust the spread rate using the FlexSelect™ technology. This will ensure that you are spreading the right amount of material for your needs.
3. Push the spreader forward while squeezing the lever to release the material. Walk at a steady pace to ensure an even spread.
4. Use the side deflector to control the direction of the spread. This is especially useful when working near flower beds or other sensitive areas.
5. When you are finished, clean the spreader thoroughly to prevent clogging and ensure that it is ready for its next use.

By following these simple steps, you can get the most out of your F80S Commercial Broadcast Spreader with Standard Output Tray and ensure that your lawn or garden looks great all year round.

COMPLETE ASSEMBLY:

TRAY INSTALLATION

HELPFUL HINTS

• If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise. Reversing the gearbox will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise. Clean the impeller after each use as some fertilizer may become stuck on the impeller blades and will cause uneven spreading.
• Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds change the spread patterns. Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate.
• Clean and dry your spreader thoroughly after each use, wash between the shut-off plate and bottom of the hopper regularly. To prevent rust, coat all metal parts (inside and out) including the frame tubes with a light oil, silicon spray, or Fluid Film*.
• Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
• When using Rock Salt to prevent damage to the gearbox remove salt from the hopper daily. Rock Salt will reconstitute back into a solid block if left in the hopper overnight and will damage your gearbox if pushed with the salt in place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader.

• Obtain proper setting for material to be used from the enclosed SETTING MATRIX included with this spreader, or from our web site under the MANUALS SECTION.
• Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting.
• While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt.
• To stop, push lever forward to close flow holes before you stop moving.
• When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper.
• Thoroughly wash spreader and allow to dry before storing. Apply coating of light oil to help prevent corrosion.
• If you use Rock Salt, remove agitator when using Rock Salt to prevent damage to the gearbox.
