section.

When finished spreading, close the hopper gate.

Clean the hopper after
each
spreading session.
Important:
Always empty and clean the
spreader immediately after each use. Failure
to do so may cause the chemicals to corrode
the spreader and other components.
Cleaning the Spreader
1.
Drive the machine to a designated cleaning area.
2.
Stop the machine on a level surface, leave the
motion control lever in the neutral position, and
turn off the engine. Engage the parking brake.
3.
With the hopper empty, push inward on the ball
joint sleeve and pull off cable end to release the
gate lever. Push the gate lever inward to fully
open the drain hole.

opening and push in the linkage.
5.
Using a garden hose, spray the inside and outside
of the entire spreader with clean water.
Note:
Do Not use a power washer to clean
the machine. The high pressure water may
force residual corrosive materials into spreader
components.

When the hopper has been thoroughly rinsed and
drained, close the gate.
