English Manual
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.
BEFORE PUTTING MATERIAL IN THE HOPPER
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.

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.
- 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.
