APPLICATION TIPS
1. Tohelppreventcloggingwhenusinggranularmaterial,
avoidtowingthespreaderwiththeowplateclosed.
Aclosedowplatecouldcausetherotatingagitator
toworkthematerialintopowder,compactingitatthe
bottomofthehopper.
2. Reducetheowsettingforspeedsslowerthan
3M.P.H.andincreasethesettingforhigherspeeds.
3. Toavoidmissesorstriping,overlapthepreviouswheel
tracksbyapproximately4"-5".Thespreadwidthofthe
spreaderisapproximately40".
4. Foreasiestapplication,rstapplymaterialacrossboth
endsofthearea.Twoorthreepassesoneachendare
sufcient.Thenapplymaterialbackandforthasshown.
Usetheendareasforturningaround,shuttingoffthe

nextpass.Seegure8.
5. Iflawnisoddshaped,spreadaborderaroundtheedges
andthenspreadbetweentheborder.
NOTE: Be careful when using the spreader around
ornamental plants becauseweed controlchemicals can
damagetheseplants.
MAINTENANCE
1. Alwaysemptyspreaderaftereachuse,storingleftover
materialinit'soriginalbag.
2. Washthespreaderanddrythoroughlyaftereachuse.
3. Applyafewdropsofoiltoallmovingparts.
4. Checkallnutsandboltsfortightnessbeforeeachuse.
5. Keeptiresinatedto12-14lbs.
