USING YOUR SPREADER
1. Check the material package and the Spreader Settings
sheet included with your spreader for the proper spreader
setting and application rate.
2. Before filling spreader, move the control lever to the
"OFF" position.
3. Move spreader onto a flat surface - either a walk or a
driveway - and fill.
4. Slide the Adjustable Stop to the desired setting.
5. Start the spreader in motion, then move the control
lever forward against the adjustable stop to begin
spreading.
6. Maximum towing speed - 3 M.P.H. (5 km/h).
NOTE: Always place control lever in the "OFF" position while
filling spreader and when stopping or turning, to prevent
release of excess fertilizer.

APPLICATION TIPS

1. This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending
on the material used and the towing speed.
2. To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about 5 feet
from the previous one so some overlapping of spread
pattern does occur.
3. For easiest application, spread across the shortest
edges of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a
turning area, and then spreading between the header
strips. See figure 6.
4. If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the edges
and then spread between the border. See figure 6.
5. Keep wheel approximately 4 feet from any area you do
not wish to spread.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when using spreader around
ornamental plants because weed control chemicals can
damage these plants.
