SPIKED AUGER ASSEMBLY
Thread auger clockwise onto impeller shaft. Insert auger
nut. Tighten with 10 mm wrench. Do not over tighten.
Choose spiked auger for use with dense materials that have a
tendency to clump or have a higher moisture content.
• Ice Melt- Calcium Chloride
• Lawn Mineral Supplement
CAUTION: This spreader is NOT recommended for use with rock salt.
GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure gate control is in the closed position (do not hold bail down when filling).
• Determine appropriate setting for material being used by reading the suggested setting on
the material's bag AND/OR by referencing the application chart on your spreader's control panel
(Charts provided are only guidelines. Be sure to read the instructions on the bag/box of the
material you're spreading to identify accurate setting needed).
• Set the dial to the desired setting Important Note: Do not adjust dial while holding bail down
and gate is open. This will alter the accuracy of gate settings and cause parts to break.
• To begin spreading, start walking (about 3 mph pace) and pull the bail system down to open gate.
• To stop spreading simply let go of the bail and the gate will close.
BAFFLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Adjust baffle by hand to block distribution accordingly.
• Use wing nuts to adjust tension on baffles.
NOTE: To avoid overapplication- using the baffle in the down position will disperse product in
greater amounts directly below the deflection point. Adjust the gate setting to apply less than the
intended amount when using baffle. Consult fertilizer/seed manufacture's coverage information.
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
• When finished spreading empty hopper of any remaining material.
• Use garden hose to wash down the spreader after each use.
• Be careful not to direct the spray directly onto the gear box.
• It is recommended that you DO NOT use a power washer on your spreader.
• Allow to dry before storing.
