The operation of any spreader can produce foreign objects that can be thrown into the
eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-
vision safety goggles over spectacles when standing near a spinning spreader disc.
CAUTION!
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children are often attracted to the machine.
Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
BASIC SPREADER CONCEPTS
Your tow behind spreader uses the centrifugal force from a spinning disc to “spread” material.
The spinner disc is connected to a gearbox that is connected to an axle/tire. The tire will turn
when the unit is pulled by the tow vehicle and this will cause the disc to spin. The speed the disc
spins is determined by the speed the unit is being pulled. The material will throw farther and
provide a thinner layer of coverage as the tow speed is increased. Inversely, the spread
coverage will become thicker and shorter as the tow speed is decreased.
INTENDED USE
The Tow Spreader is designed to spread material at a designated flow rate. It is recommended to
calculate your flow rate before use for the most accurate application. Your Tow Spreader should
be towed behind an ATV/UTV, golf cart, lawn mower, or tractor or other similar vehicle. It is not
recommended for operating speeds exceeding
5 MPH
.

GETTING STARTED
Always inspect the Spreader before each use. Ensure all hardware is tight and
all moving parts are in proper working order. Machine damage and/or injury
can occur if Spreader operates with defective parts.
The Spreader has high speed components and throws debris a long distance.
Always make sure no one is within 100 feet of the spreader when in use. Stop
use if someone approaches spreader
.
CAUTION!
This Spreader is not intended for roadway use. It is not advised to
transport this spreader on the roadway without proper lights, signage and safety
features. Always refer to applicable laws in your area for proper roadway use.
Do not exceed 15 MPH when transporting with an empty hopper or 5 MPH with a
loaded Hopper.
