PARTS LIST

ASSEMBLY STEP

1. Arrange the hopper (A), bracket (B), and blocking plate (J) as shown in the diagram.
2. Use M6×40 screws (j x4) to connect them together through the corresponding mounting holes on the hopper, bracket, and blocking plate, and then tighten the screws.

1. Obtain the support frame (E) and find the installation position that matches the bracket (B).
2. Use screws (a x2) of M6×40. Pass them through the corresponding holes on the support frame and the already – installed components, and then tighten the screws.

1. Determine the orientation of the axle(G) according to the marked hole positions in the above picture. Then, pass the axle(G) through the bracket(B) in the direction of the arrow. Next, install the positioning part(g) and the gearbox(F), and then install another positioning part(g) and the bracket(B) onto the axle.
2. Secure the axle(G) and the gearbox(F) with an M3×30 screw(h) as shown in the detailed drawing.

1. Insert the large washer (d), sleeve (c), large washer (d), wheel (D), and large washer (d) on the left side onto the axle (G) in sequence. Then, insert the Pin (e) into the small hole at the outermost end of the axle (G) and bend it for fixation.
2. Insert the large washer (d), sleeve (c), large washer (d), and wheel (D) on the right side onto the axle (G) in sequence.
3. Pass the screw (b) through the wheel (D) and the axle (G) and lock it for fixation.
4. Tighten the screw on the positioning part (g x2). Note that the function of the positioning part (g x2) is to prevent the legs of the bracket (B) from moving inward.

First, insert the Rotating head (f) into the shaft at the center of the hopper (A), and then fix it with a pin (e).

1. Insert the square tube (C) into the bracket (B).
2. Use M6×40 screws (a x2) to connect them through the corresponding mounting holes, and then tighten the screws.

Pay attention to the insertion direction of the square tube (C).

1. Insert the handle (M) into the square tube (C), and install the gear position adjuster (H) on the side. Fix them with 2 M6×40 screws (a).
2. Install the lower part of the gear position adjuster (H) on the square tube (C), and fix it with M6×16 screws (i x2).
3. Connect the upper part of the gear position adjuster connecting rod (I) to the gear position adjuster (H), and the lower part to the hopper (A).
4. Adjust the handle of the gear position adjuster (H) for testing, and check whether the material leakage port opens and closes with the adjustment of the adjuster.

Install the screen mesh (K) and the transparent cover (L) to their respective positions on the spreader. The screen mesh is used to filter the materials. If there are any materials larger than the mesh of the screen, please remove them. The size of the material leakage hole is limited, and only materials smaller than this hole are allowed to be spread.

HOW TO USE THE SPREADER TROLLEY

• TO OPEN- Push the Control Level forward until it stops against button.
• TO CLOSE- Pull the control Lever fully back toward Operator.
  • Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the spreading material.

NOTE: Make sure that the spreading material is evenly distributed. The spreading material must be dry.

1. Before feeding in the spreading material, set the dispensing lever to the OFF position (dispensing flap closed).
2. Fill the spreader trolley hopper.
3. To adjust the volume of spread, set the dispensing lever to the desired position.
4. In order to spread or scatter the material, drive the spreader trolley at an even speed (the higher the speed, the greater the scattering distance).
5. Close the dispensing flap as soon as you stop the spreader trolley (dispensing lever in OFF position).

USING YOUR SPREADER

1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate the amount of material required.
2. Before filling the hopper, make sure the flow control arm is in the off position and the closure plate is shut.
3. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.
4.  Set the adjustable stop with the flow control arm still in the off position. Refer to the application chart on this page and to the instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper flow rate setting.
5. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy application at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23 seconds. A variation in speed will require an adjustment of the flow rate to maintain the same  coverage. The faster you drive, the wider the broadcast width.
6. Make sure the drive pin is in stalled in the axle before starting the spreader.
7. Always start the spreader in motion before opening closure plate.
8. Always shut the closure plate before turning or stopping the spreader.
9. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
10. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the previous pass as shown in figure below. The approximate broadcast widths for different materials are shown in the application chart on this page.
11. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs.

PRODUCT SPREADER SETTINGS

CAUTION

These are approximate settings and are intended as a guide only. Variations in materials, walking speed, terrain, weather conditions, age and condition of spreader, etc. can affect setting. If unsure, start at a lower setting and increase if necessary. Always calibrate your spreader before using.

USAGE TIPS

For rectangular lawns

Apply two header strips across each end for a turning area. Then apply back and forth in the longest direction.For irregular-shaped lawns

Apply a header strip around the entire lawn for a turning area, then apply back and forth.Note: Each pass should be within 5 feet of each other to ensure an overlap.

• Do not leave spreader open when making turns.
• For best results, do not apply on a windy day.
• Swath will vary due to conditions. (see above caution)
• To determine how much coverage you need, multiply the length of your lawn by its width. This equals your total square footage. Deduct any non-lawn areas (house, gardens, walkways, etc.).
  • ___Length (Feet)
  • X___Width (Feet)
  • =___Total Square Feet
  • -___Non-Lawn Areas (Feet)
  • =____Total Square Feet coverage you need

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Maintenance

• After each use clean material out of hopper.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of the spreader after each use.
• Before operating, make sure the tires have the RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE 25 PSI.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
• Use a glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.
• Never exceed the load capacity rating; it will damage the spreader.

ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS

1. Missing or Damaged Parts
   • Problem Description: After opening the parts packaging, it is found that the quantity of some parts is insufficient or there are obvious damages.
   • Solution: Immediately conduct a careful check against the parts list to confirm the missing or damaged parts. Contact the VEVOR customer service, provide the product model TC2029A and relevant part information, and apply for the replacement or reissue of the parts. During the waiting period for the new parts, do not attempt to assemble with incomplete or damaged parts to avoid affecting the product performance and safety.
2. Assembly Difficulties
   • Problem Description: When operating according to the assembly steps in the instruction manual, situations such as difficult alignment of parts and inability to screw in screws smoothly occur.
   • Solution: Check again whether the installation direction of the parts is correct, refer to the illustrations in the instruction manual, and ensure that each part is installed in the correct position. For the situation where it is difficult to screw in the screws, check whether there are foreign objects blocking the threads. A brush can be used to clean the threads. If the threads are damaged, contact the customer service in a timely manner to replace the corresponding parts. If it is difficult to align due to part size deviation, do not force the assembly, but communicate with the customer service to obtain further guidance or replacement of parts. We will prepare installation videos. Please contact VEVOR customer service if you need them.

USAGE PROBLEMS

1. Uneven Spreading
   • Problem Description: When using the spreader, the materials are unevenly distributed on the ground, with some areas having more and some areas having less.
   • Solution: Check whether there is any caking phenomenon of the materials in the hopper. If so, the caked materials need to be broken up before use. Confirm whether the walking speed of the spreader is uniform. Try to keep a uniform speed, as changes in speed may affect the spreading effect. Check whether the setting of the flow control arm of the spreader is appropriate. According to the type of materials and the usage scenario, refer to the recommended values in the spreading setting precautions of the product, and readjust the position of the flow control arm.
2. Spreading Width Does Not Meet Expectations
   • Problem Description: The actual spreading width does not conform to the range specified in the instruction manual, being either too wide or too narrow.
   • Solution: Check the driving speed of the spreader. The faster the speed, the wider the spreading width. Adjust the driving speed to an appropriate range as needed. Confirm whether the setting of the flow control arm is correct. An inappropriate flow setting may indirectly affect the spreading width. Readjust it according to the correct setting method. If the components of the spreader are loose or damaged, it may affect the spreading width. Carefully check each component of the spreader. Tighten any loose parts in a timely manner, and contact the customer service to replace any damaged parts.
3. The Spreader is Jammed or Cannot Be Pushed
   • Problem Description: During the use process, the spreader is jammed, difficult to push, or even cannot be pushed normally.
   • Solution: Check whether the tire pressure reaches the recommended value of 25 PSI. Insufficient air pressure will increase the pushing resistance. Inflate it to the standard air pressure in a timely manner. Check whether there are foreign objects wrapped around the wheels. If so, clean up the sundries wrapped around the wheels. Check whether there is material accumulation inside the spreader that is blocking the components. Clean up the accumulated materials in the hopper and other components. If the problem still exists, it may be a mechanical component failure, such as a damaged bearing, etc. Contact a professional maintenance personnel or VEVOR customer service for maintenance.
