w w w . e c o l a w n a p p l ic a t o r . c o m
Operating Instructions
1. Proper Topdressing
When topdressing, follow the same pattern you would use when mowing. Start with the sections of lawn
that are farthest away from the supply source to avoid repeated traffic over the areas that have already
been top-dressed.
Type of Spreading Material:
•
Screened compost
2. Optimal Operation
Never exceed the maximum load capacity of the hopper (440lbs/200 kg). Some substrates (such as sand
or soil) are much denser than others, so it is not possible to judge load size visually. The same volume of
sand or soil can weigh significantly more than compost. Overloading the hopper may damage the spreader.
Comparative: Materials and Weights

Compost (60% humidity) 10 cubic feet: 300 lbs
