Operating the Spreader

CAUTION
Chemicals are hazardous and can cause personal
injury.
• Read the chemical manufacture's directions
on the label before handling the chemicals;
follow all manufacturer recommendations and
precautions.

Use the spreader to disperses free-flowing granular substances
such as grass seed, fertilizer, ice melt, etc. When you use the
spreader, first fill the granular hopper, then apply the granular
materials to the work site, and finally clean the hopper. It
is important to complete all three of these steps to avoid
damaging the spreader.
Note: When you use your spreader, thoroughly clean it at
the end of the day.
Before Operating the Spreader
Before you start using the spreader, make sure the spreader
has been calibrated for the material that you will disperse;
refer to Calibrating the Spreader (page
Important: Verify that the proper application rate has
