HELPFUL HINTS:

 

READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY 

 

If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box points to the front of the spreader.  The impeller must 
turn clockwise.  Reversing the gearbox will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise.  Clean the impeller plate after each use. 
Fertilizer stuck on the impeller blades will cause uneven spreading. 

 

Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed.  Slower or faster speeds will change 
the spread patterns.  Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate.  Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use.  
Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper. 

 

Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory.  Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter. 

 

When using 

Rock Salt 

remove the agitator to prevent damage to the gearbox and remove salt from the hopper daily.  

Rock Salt

 will 

reconstitute back into a solid block over night with humidity. 

1.

  

Remove and identify loose parts from carton. 

2.  

Position hopper on side.  Install frame using (4) 1/4-20 

x 1-½” Pan Head Philips machine screws and  (4) 1/4-20  
nylon insert locknuts.  First, put bolts through holes in 
frame, then through holes in bottom of hopper.  Secure with 
locknuts.  Tighten these locknuts now.
