CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED 

To calculate the amount of fertilizer you will need to cover your lawn, divide the coverage amount listed on the 
label by the weight of the fertilizer bag. For example a 10lb. bag of fertilizer with coverage of 10,000 square 
feet will distribute 1lb. of fertilizer every 1,000 square feet at full rate or 1/2lb. of fertilizer every 1,000 square 
feet at half rate. For pre-calculated rates see 

Chart A

 (Example: 25LB. bag with 15,000 sq. ft. coverage = 

1.7lb./1,000 sq. ft.). Use 

Chart B

 to find the closest spreader setting (Example: 1.7lb./1000 sq. ft. = Spreader 

Setting of 12).

*These are only estimates actual spreader settings and spread widths may vary depending on material. 

 

NOTE: DO NOT USE SALT. Using salt in this spreader (especially rock salt) will damage the mechanism 
and shorten the life of the machine. If you do choose to use salt in your machine, you should remove 
the agitator to reduce damage to the gearbox, use refined deicing salt and thoroughly clean the 
spreader after use.
