Unpacking
After unpacking unit, inspect carefully for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing, or
damaged parts. Shipping damage claim must be filed with carrier.
Read These Instructions Before Assembly
Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster
speeds will change the spread patterns. Wet spreading material will also change the spread pattern and flow rate.
Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper.
Ensure that the FRONT of the gear box points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise.
Reversing the gear box will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise. Clean the impeller plate after each use.
Spreading material stuck on the impeller blades will cause uneven spreading.
Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gear box or dirt may enter.
General Safety Information
Make sure you are appropriately dressed, including
sturdy footwear. Protect yourself by wearing gloves
and a dust mask when handling chemical lawn
products that contain pesticides and herbicides.
