OPERATION
1. Before filling the hopper make sure the flow control lever is in the OFF
position and that the flow plate is closed.
2. Always push the spreader forward to operate: do not pull backward.
3. Start walking forward before pushing the control lever to the ON
position. Pull the control lever to OFF position before stopping or
turning.
4. Do not allow the spreader to sit stationary with material in the hopper
and control lever in the ON position.
5. Hold the handle at a height that will keep the hopper level.
6. Push the spreader at a steady, brisk pace approximately 3 mph.
7. To avoid misses or striping, space each pass across the lawn so
approximately 20% of the spread width overlaps onto the previous pass.
This provides a ‘feathered’ over-lap to even out distribution over the
width of the spread.
8. Do not overapply spreading material as this may burn the lawn, if
material is accidently deposited too heavily in a small area soak the
area thoroughly.
