HELPFUL HINTS:
; If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box points to the front of the spreader.
The impeller must turn clockwise. Reversing the gearbox will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise.
Clean the impeller plate after each use. Fertilizer stuck on the impeller blades will cause uneven spreading.
; 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 fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate.
Clean and dry your spreader thoroughly after each use. Coat all metal surfaces (pay special attention to the
inside & outside of tubing - it's easiest to do while assembling) with light oil, Fluid Film
to help prevent corrosion. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper. Do not use powdered
materials.
; Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
