OPERATION

Check the product package for the rate

setting, and recommended swath width. Turn
the spreader OFF by pushing the control knob
in. Rotate the rate cam to the proper setting

.

3.

Always fill the spreader on the driveway or

path-not on the lawn. Make sure spreader is in
the “OFF” position

.

Empty after each use.

4.

Start spreader moving, then open spreader

by pushing the thumb release to the “ON”
position. Always push spreader, never pull.

Hold handle so top of spreader is level. Tipping

the spreader too far can cause uneven spreading.

6.

The settings and swath widths on the product

label are recommended starting points. Always
check the delivery rate and pattern on a small area
before treating a large area. Actual delivery rate
can vary due to weather conditions, operating
variables, and condition of the product being
applied. See “HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER
SETTING AND SWATH WIDTH” for details.

7.

Push spreader 2 1/2 m.p.h. (5.5 metres in 5

seconds) for full 8’ to 14’ spread pattern when
applying fertilizer products. Apply header strips
at each end of area to be treated then space
trips across the area as shown.

8.

Empty spreader after each use. Return

leftover material to its original container.
