OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Obtain proper setting for material to be used from the enclosed SETTING MATRIX included with this spreader, or
from our web site under the MANUALS SECTION.
Set stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper rate setting.
While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt, to stop spreading, push lever forward to close
flow holes before you stop moving.
When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper, rinse spreader, apply coating of light oil to all metal
parts. The gearbox is sealed and is factory lubricated.
The
SideSpread-Control
is a patented innovation that is superior to side deflectors. Side deflectors
block material leaving the impeller. This blocked material is now consolidated into a 2-3” wide path
on the left inside wheel of your spreader. This equates to wasted fertilizer, dark green stripes, and in some
cases this extra fertilizer (seven times) will damage the lawn.
SideSpread-Control
maintains the correct application rate while not placing material on driveways, sidewalks,
flowerbeds, or worse, the storm drains in your street. This saves you money and keeps you from damaging your lawn.
To engage
SideSpread-Control
:
1)
Locate the lever on under the right side of the hopper.
2)
Slide the control lever from the front to the back.
3)
Position the left wheel of your spreader 6ʺ–12ʺ from the sidewalk, flowerbed, or driveway and spread as
normal.
4)
When you have completed this spreading pass, close the control lever to “0”, and then open the
SideSpread-
Control™
by sliding the control lever from back to the front, for a
FULL
, 180 degree spread pattern.
