OPERATION
KNOW YOUR SPREADER
USING YOUR SPREADER
•
Check the material package and the Spreader
Settings sheet included with your spreader for the
proper spreader setting and application rate.
Before filling spreader, move the control lever to the
"OFF" position.
Move spreader onto a flat surface - either a walk or a
driveway - and fill.
Slide the Adjustable Stop to the desired setting.
Read this owner's manual and safety rules before
operating your Spreader.
Compare the illustration below with your Spreader to
familiarize yourself with the various controls and their
locations.
•
•
FLOW CONTROL LEVER
ADJUSTABLE STOP
•
•
Start the spreader in motion, then move the control
lever forward against the adjustable stop to begin
spreading.
NOTE: Always place control lever in the "OFF" position
while filling spreader and when stopping or turning, to
prevent release of excess fertilizer.
APPLICATION TIPS
•
•
This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending
on the material used and the towing speed.
To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about
5 feet from the previous one so some overlapping of
spread pattern does occur.
•
For easiest application, spread across the shortest
edges of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a
turning area, and then spreading between the header
strips. See figure 10.
FIGURE 9
•
•
If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the
edges and then spread between the border. See
figure 10.
Keep wheel approximately 4 feet from any area you
do not wish to spread.
FLOW CONTROL LEVER Opens and closes the flow
plate on the bottom of the hopper.
ADJUSTABLE STOP Allows the flow control lever to be
moved to the same setting repeatedly.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when using spreader around
ornamental plants because weed control chemicals can
damage these plants.
HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER
DO NOT EXCEED 6 MPH WHILE TOWING
SPREADER
ADJUSTING THE FLOW RATE SETTING
•
