READ BEFORE USING

Become Familiar With The Operation Of The Spreader Before 

You Put Material In The Hopper

•  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.

Dial Setting Information

The RATE DIAL has 9 numbers with 10 stops between 

each number.  This allows for accurate control of the 

spreading rate.  The dial is set with only a turn, it will 

automatically lock into the set position.  LINE UP THE 

DIAL NUMBER WITH THE DIAL INDICATOR.

Rate Dial

•  The spread width ranges from 4 - 12 ft. wide 

depending on the volume/density, particle size of the 

material, and rate of travel.

•  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.

WARNING:

  When spreading products containing 

herbicides, exercise extreme caution with respect to 
careless spreading and to wind-drift.

Contact Of Some Products On 

Some Plants Can Be Fatal

If a dial setting is not found, use the size and weight 

comparison table found in this manual.  Determine a 

dial setting on the low side.  If the setting proves to 

be too low, cover the area more than one time.  A 

higher setting can be used when a proven dial setting is 

established.

Remember:  

Published dial settings are 

approximate only.  The operation of the spreader, the 

condition of the material (damp or dry or over-pulverized) 

and weather conditions, are all contributing factors.  

For these reasons, it is often a good idea to spread the 

area 2 times - or one-half rate - in cross directions (SEE 

INFORMATION ON ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS).  

One-half rate dial settings are highly recommended under 

damp and humid conditions.

Rotary Agitator

Use the rotary agitator only if needed.  Free-flowing, 

lump-free materials will not require the agitator.  The 

rotary agitator is easily installed or removed.  Note the 

clockwise rotation and sweep.  Place felt washer around 

spinner shaft before inserting agitator.

       

Now You Are Ready To Put 

Material In The Hopper

WARNING:

  Avoid Injury!  Chemicals can be 

dangerous.  Avoid injury to operators or bystanders.

•  Make sure the rate gate is in the closed position.

•  Read chemical container label for handling 

instructions.  A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) 

should be supplied by the chemical dealer and 

provides proper safety information.
