• Ice Melt- Calcium Chloride

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. If gate is not fully closed see Figure C for adjustment.
• Determine appropriate setting for material being used by reading
the suggested setting on the material's bag. Be sure to read the
instructions on the bag/box of the material you're spreading to
identify accurate setting needed).
• 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.
