Fimco broadcast spreader usage tips

• Determine the size of the area that you'll be fertilizing and estimate the amount of fertilizer required. Make sure that you have enough fertilizer to cover the area.
• Make sure that the flow control arm is in the off position so the flow control plate is shut before filling the hopper with fertilizer.
• Fill the hopper with fertilizer. Break up any lumps of fertilizer in the hopper so fertilizer spreads evenly.
• Set the proper flow rate setting and determine the required speed of application.
• Start the tractor in motion and open the flow plate to apply the fertilizer.
• Close the flow plate before stopping the tractor to avoid creating a pile of fertilizer on the turf.

Seeding tips for your Fimco garden seeder

• Use the seed plate guide to select the seeding plate that best fits your needs for the seeds that you're spreading.
• Install the seeding plate on the seeder.
• Pour seeds into the hopper but don't fill the hopper above the center of seed plate.
• Set the planting depth with the ground opener located under the hopper.
• Check the seed depth setting by moving the seeder a few inches in soft soil. Adjust seed depth if necessary.
• Mark the rows with string and stakes.
