Application Tips
•
This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending on
the material used and the towing speed.
•
To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about 5 feet
from the previous one so some overlapping of spread
pattern does occur.
•
For easiest application, spread across the shortest edges
of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a turning
area, and then spreading between the header strips.
See figure 10.
•
If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the edges
and then spread between the border. See figure 10.
•
Keep wheel approximately 4 feet from any area you do
not wish to spread.
•
IMPORTANT: Be careful when using spreader around
ornamental plants because weed control chemicals can
damage these plants.

MAINTENANCE
Check For Loose Fasteners
•
Make a thorough visual check of the Spreader for any
bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any
loose bolts and nuts.
Cleaning & Storage

Always empty spreader after each use, storing leftover
material in it's original bag.
•
Wash the spreader and dry thoroughly after each use.
•
Store in a dry area.
Lubrication
•
Apply a few drops of oil to all moving parts....
IMPORTANT: Minor setting adjustments may be necessary
to compensate for humidity and moisture content of the
material.
