Operation

HOW TO USE

1)
Check product bag for rate setting (letter), and swath width.
The rate setting is achieved by loosening the rate control knob
and sliding the rate control plate until the pointer aligns with the
desired letter.
2)
Pull the main shutoff lever to the closed position before filling
the hopper.
3)
Start rolling the spreader forward before opening the ports:
close ports before stopping.
4)
Hold the handle so the hopper is level. Tipping the
spreader to far forward or backward will cause
uneven spreading.
5)
Use the swath width recommended on the bag for
your model and push the spreader at 3 MPH (a brisk
walking pace). Apply material in the forward direction
only-not while pulling.
6)
The settings given on the product label are
recommended starting points. Test rate and pattern
on a small area before treating a large area.
Actual application rate can vary depending on
weather, spreader conditions, and walking speed.
7)
A hopper cover is provided with your new
spreader. Use it to protect the turf product inside the
hopper from light rain or windy conditions during use
and transportation.
