Westward Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Using Your Spreader
READ ALL STEPS COMPLETELY BEFORE
STARTING
1.
Inspect your spreader before each use.
Make sure the impeller still moves when the
motor is on. The hopper should be clean
and free from cracks.
2.
Determine approximate square footage of
the area to be covered and estimate amount
of material required. Please refer to the
spreader setting instructions on the next
page to obtain the proper spreader setting.
3.
Spreader is useful for spreading a range of
materials (Ice Melt, Fertilizer & Grass Seed).
Materials such as Powder, Manure, Top Soil,
Gravel, and Mulch have the wrong physical
characteristics and should not be used with
these spreaders.
4.
Before filling the hopper, make sure that the
flow control lever is in the backed position
and the flow control plate is closed.
5.
Make sure the motor is installed correctly on
the hopper before starting the spreader.
6.
Break up any lumpy fertilizer as you fill the
hopper.
7.
Once you have determined your proper
spreader setting and are using the spreader,
keep the following thoughts in mind to
optimize spreading results: Always set the
adjustable stop with the flow control to the
closed position and continue moving one
more stride whenever you are about to stop
or turn the ATV. This action will close the
flow control plate and stop the dispersing of
material, which will result in reduced waste
and
avoid
damaging
oversaturated material.
8.
To maintain the same coverage when
operating your ATV at different speeds,
adjust the flow rate. Reduce the flow setting
for slower speeds and increase the flow
setting for higher speeds.
9.
Keep the impeller plate horizontal when
operating the spreader. Tilting the spreader
will result in uneven coverage.
10. Before opening the flow control closure plate
makes sure the ATV is started and moving
forward.

deposited too heavily in a small area, soak
the area thoroughly with a garden hose or
sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
12. To insure consistent coverage, make sure
each scatter pattern slightly overlaps the
previous scatter pattern as shown in figure
below. The approximate scatter widths for

13. When scattering spreading material, make
sure the scatter pattern does not hit
evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs.
14. Make sure you are appropriately dressed,
including sturdy footwear. Protect yourself by
wearing gloves and a dust mask when
handling chemical lawn products that contain
pesticides and herbicides.
15. Do not over apply spreading material. Follow
the recommended coverage rate for each
product. Over application will lead to lawn
damage and contamination.
