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.

The flow 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.
