Maintenance Instructions

TION: Use a reasonable amount of grease.
DO NOT pack gearbox full of grease.

oil to spinner shaft (including area shaft that

Broadcast Spreader Operation
1. Always have the control lever in the OFF po-
sition before filling the hopper.
2. Always push the spreader forward to oper-
ate; do not operate in reverse.
3. Start moving forward before pushing the
control lever to the ON position. Pull the
control lever to the OFF position before
stopping or turning.
4. Push the spreader at a steady speed.
5. To avoid misses or striping, space each
pass across the lawn so approximately 20%
of the spread width overlaps the previous
pass. This provides a feathered overlap to
even out distribution over the with of the
spread.
DO NOT allow spreader to sit stationary with
material in the hopper and control lever in the
ON position
CAUTION: Care must be taken with any weed
killer, pesticide, or combination product. They
can be harmful to other plant life in the yard.

Application Tips
For rectangular lawns,
apply two header strips
at each end of the lawn and then go back and
forth between the header strips. Close spreader at
the end of each pass and reopen at the start of
next pass.
For irregular-shaped lawns,
apply one header
strip around the entire lawn, and then go back and
forth.
To avoid streaks or misses, slightly overlap each
strip over the edge of the previous strip.
Use the settings under “Standard Settings” Section
for most applications by figuring lbs. per 1000
square feet.
These numbers are for a one pass application.
A two pass application is recommended, using a
crisscross pattern. If using this method, use half
the setting number given.
If you think too much is being applied, cut down
the setting. The solution for too much fertilizer is
water.
Close Spreader at the end of each pass. Open
again at the start of your next pass.
