HOW TO USE

1)
Check product bag for rate setting (letter), cone setting
(number), 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. The cone setting is
used to control spread pattern left to right and is adjusted by
rotating the index tab on the orange helical cone to the desired
number.
2)
Pull the main shutoff lever to the closed position before filling
the hopper.
3)
Start rolling the spreader forward before opening the shutoff
lever; close shutoff lever 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 the weather, spreader
condition, 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.
