OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Before using the drop spreader, review the instructions below and safety information before operating.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.
USING YOUR SPREADER
1.
Inspect your spreader before each use. Make sure the wheels turn easily when the
spreader is pushed. The hopper should be clean and free from cracks.
2.
Spreader is designed to spread a range of materials (Pesticides, Pelletized Lime,
Fertilizer, and Grass Seed). Materials such as Powder, Manure, Top Soil, Gravel,
and Mulch have the wrong physical characteristics and should not be used with
your spreader.
3.
Do not use spreader on windy days when spreading grass seed or herbicides.
4.
Determine approximate square footage of the area to be covered and estimate
amount of material required. Please refer to fertilizer manufacturer's recommen-
dation. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the hopper.
5.
Before filling the hopper, make sure the flow control handle is in the"0"position
and the flow control is closed.
6.
Every time you are ready to stop or turn back, close the flow control to stop dis-
persing the material and continue one more stride. This reduces waste and avoids
damaging the lawn with oversaturated product coverage.
7.
Follow fertilizer manufacturer's recommended coverage rate for each product.
8.
To maintain the same coverage when walking at a different speed, adjust the flow
rate. Reduce the flow setting for slower speeds and increase the flow setting for
higher speeds.
9.
Keep spreader horizontal when operating. Tilting the spreader will result in un-
even coverage.
10. Always start walking prior to opening the flow control rate.
11. Always close the flow control before turning or stopping the spreader.
12. If spreading material 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.
13. Apply two header strips at each end of area to be treated and then proceed length-
wise between the header strips.
14. To insure consistent coverage, make sure each drop pattern slightly overlaps the
previous drop pattern.
15. When dropping material, make sure the material does not hit evergreen trees,
flowers or shrubs.
16. Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for
each product. Over application will lead to lawn damage and contamination.
