Operating Instructions
Preparation/Spreading
Overlapping For Consistent Coverage.
Inspect your spreader before each use. Make sure the Wheels turn easily, and the Spinner rotates clockwise when the spreader is pushed.
The Hopper should be clean and free from cracks. The Gate should open and close smoothly.
Before filling the hopper, make sure that the Gate Lever is in the“0”position (fully forward) and the Gate is closed.
Make sure the R-pin Agitator is installed on the spinner shaft before filling the spreader.
Clean the Spinner after each use. Material stuck on the Spinner will cause uneven spreading.
Make sure the Hopper Screen is installed in the hopper before filling and using.
Please refer to fertilizer manufacturer’s recommendation. Break up any lumps of fertilizer as you fill the hopper.
Set the Gate Stop with the flow control lever always in the“0”position.
Do not use spreader on windy days when spreading light materials or where the material must only be spread in specific areas; for example:
grass seed, herbicides, etc.
Always start walking prior to opening the Gate.
When spreading material, make sure the spread pattern does not hit landscaping plants, shrubs, flowers, etc.
Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended application rate for each turf-care product according to the manufacturers
suggest (usually on the product package). Over application will lead to lawn damage and contamination.
Always close the Gate (using the Gate Lever) before turning or stopping the spreader.
Keep the impeller plate horizontal when operating the spreader. Tilting the spreader will result in uneven coverage.
To maintain the same application rate when walking at a different speeds, adjust the flow rate. Reduce the flow setting for slower speeds
and increase the flow setting for higher speeds. Use your calibration chart.
Every time you are ready to stop or turn around, close the gate to stop dispersing the material and continue one more stride. This reduces
waste and avoids damaging the lawn with over-application
If spreading material is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent
burning of the lawn.
To ensure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous broadcast pattern. (See Diagram below.)
