1. Oil the free spinning wheel once a year or more often
as needed.
2. Oil the nylon bushings in the frame tube once a year or
more often as needed.
3. Apply a light coating of grease to the gears as needed.
4. Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
5. Make sure the tires are adequately inflated. Do not
inflate beyond the maximum pressure printed on the
tire.
WArning: Over-inflated tires can explode,
causing serious injury. To avoid injury, NEVER
inflate tires beyond the maximum pressure
printed on the sidewall of the tire. ALWAYS use
a hand pump to safely inflate tires.
StOring
1. Empty the spreader after each use, storing left over

1. Estimate the size of the area to be covered and calculate
the amount of material required.
2. Set the adjustable stop according to the flow setting
recommended in the application chart on this page.
Also refer to the instructions on the packaging for the
material to be spread.
3. Make sure the control lever is in the "OFF" position.
4. Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.
5. Start the spreader in motion and then pull the control
lever forward against the adjustable stop to the "ON"
position.
6. Always move the control lever to the "OFF" position
before turning or stopping.
7. To ensure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the
broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the
previous pass. The approximate broadcast widths for
different materials are shown in the application chart on
this page.
8. For rectangular areas, make two passes across the short
ends to create turning areas. For non-rectangular areas,
make two passes around the entire border.
9. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,
flowers or shrubs.
