ABOUT YOUR PUSH SPREADER
This push spreader is designed to spread a wide range of materials including fertilizer and grass seed.
Materials such as Powders, Manure, Top Soil, Gravel, and Mulch have the wrong physical characteristics
and should not be used with this spreader. Salt should not be used with this spreader, as it may corrode
the mechanism, if you do choose to use salt please follow the spreading instructions at the bottom of page
16. Never exceed the rated load capacity of 125lbs when operating the spreader.
Your spreader needs to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster
speeds will change the spread patterns. Wet spreading material will also change the spread pattern and
flow rate. Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use. Wash between the shut off plate and the bottom
of the hopper.
Technical specifications on the push spreader are provided in the “Specifications” section of this manual.
