HELPFUL HINTS: 

 

;

If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box points to the front of the spreader.  The 

impeller must turn clockwise.  Reversing the gearbox will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise.  Clean the impeller 

after each use as some fertilizer may become stuck on the impeller blades and will cause uneven spreading.

 

;

Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed.  Slower or faster speeds 

will change the spread patterns.  Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate.  

 

;

Clean and dry your spreader thoroughly after each use, wash between the shut-off plate and bottom of the hopper 

regularly.  To prevent rust, coat all metal parts (inside and out) including the frame tubes with a light oil, silicon spray, or 

Fluid Film

®

 

;

Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory.  Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.

 

;

When using 

Rock Salt

 to prevent damage to the gearbox remove salt from the hopper daily.  

Rock Salt

 will reconstitute 

back into a solid block if left in the hopper overnight and will damage your gearbox if pushed with the salt in place.
