READ BEFORE USING

Become Familiar With The Operation Of The Spreader

Before You Put Material In The Hopper.

Practice walking with the spreader, opening and closing the

rate gate at the appropriate times.

Travel at a constant speed and operate the spreader lever

position. Remember: Open the rate gate after the spreader

is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph, or at a brisk

walking pace).

Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational

speed.

Flow Control Setting Information

The ﬂ ow control lever operates the control plate. The control

lever plate is marked 0-30. The position selected determines

the amount of material to be broadcast. The higher the

number, the heavier the application of the material. This

allows for accurate control of the spreading rate.

The fan speed and the spread width are controlled by the

speed at which you operate the spreader. The spread width

also depends on the volume/density, and the particle size of

the material.

The spread thins or feathers at the outer edges, eliminating

sharp, "Edge Of Spread" lines which cause stripes and

streaks. Extra coverage can be given under trees and other

heavy feeding areas without showing "Edge Of Spread"

lines.

Gaps and double overlaps are less likely. Small errors in

travel are forgiven and do not show.

Filling The Spreader

Avoid Injury! Chemicals can be dangerous.

Avoid injury to operator or bystanders:

• Read chemical container label for handling instructions.

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be supplied

by the chemical dealer and provides proper safety

information.

• Wear proper clothing and safety equipment while

handling or applying chemicals.

• Prohibit all smoking, drinking, and eating around

chemicals.

• When spreading products containing herbicides, exercise

extreme caution with respect to careless spreading

and to wind-drift. Contact Of Some Products On Some

Plants Can Be Fatal.

Operating Tips

Push ﬂ ow control lever down towards hopper to close the

rate gate.

Fill the spreader on a ﬂ at, level surface only. Fill on sidewalk,

driveway, cardboard, etc. to avoid material loss.

DO NOT overload with more than maximum capacity of 50

lbs.

DO NOT use on windy days.

When ﬁ lling hopper with material, always use screen to help

break up clumps.

Keep spinner blade clean. Excess material build-up can

cause an uneven spread pattern.

Keep the impeller level when spreading.

Spreading Material

Determine setting required for the product you are spreading

(See Application Rate Chart). If a setting is not found, use a

similar size/weight material. Determine a ﬂ ow control setting

on the low side. If the setting proves to be too low, cover the

area more than one time. A higher setting can be used when

a proven setting is established. Generic Grass Seed and

Fertilizer Settings are shown at the end of the list.

Remember: Published ﬂ ow control settings are approximate

only. The operation of the spreader, the condition of the

material (damp or dry or over-pulverized) and weather

conditions, are all contributing factors. For these reasons, it

is often a good idea to spread the area 2 times - or one-half

rate - in cross directions. One-half rate settings are highly

recommended under damp and humid conditions.

Rotary Agitator

Use the rotary agitator only if needed. Free-ﬂ owing, lump-

free materials will not require the agitator. The rotary agitator

is easily installed or removed. Place felt washer around

spinner shaft before inserting agitator.

Never leave fertilizer or other material in the hopper. It can

draw moisture, form clumps, and cause unnecessary rusting

or jamming of controls and other parts. Ice melt residue is

especially corrosive. Clean and oil spreader immediately

after each use.
