HOW TO USE
1)
Check product bag for rate setting (letter), cone setting
(number), and swath width. The rate setting is achieved
by loosening the rate control knob and sliding the rate
control plate to the desired letter. The cone setting is
used to control spread pattern and is adjusted by
rotating the index tab on the orange helical cone to
the desired number.
2)
Pull the main shutoff lever to the closed position
before filling the hopper.
3)
Start rolling the spreader forward before opening the
ports; close ports before stopping.
4)
Hold handle so that the hopper is level.
Tipping the spreader too far forward or
backward will cause uneven spreading.
5)
Use the swath width recommended on the bag for your
spreader model and push the spreader at 3 mph (a brisk
walking pace). Apply material only in the forward direction - not
while pulling.
6)
The settings given on the product label are recommended starting
points.
Test rate and pattern on a small area before treating a
large area. Actual application rate can vary depending on weather,
spreader condition, and walking speed.
7)
A hopper cover is provided with your new spreader. Use it to protect turf
product inside the hopper from light rain or windy conditions during trans-
portation.
