SAFETY INFORMATION
Read the information on the chemical package for
1.
instructions and cautions on handling and applying.
2. Wear eye and hand protection when handling and
when applying lawn or garden chemicals.
3. Never allow children to operate the vehicle or
spreader.
OPERATION
Do not use powdered lawn chemicals. They do not give a
satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.
Estimate the size of the area to be covered and
1.
calculate the amount of material required.
2. Set the adjustable stop according to the flow setting
recommended in the application chart on this page.
Also refer to the instructions on the packaging for the
material to be spread.
3. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy
coverage at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23
seconds. Do not exceed 6 mph.
4. Make sure the control lever is in the "OFF" position.
5. Fill the hopper, breaking u p any lumpy fertilizer.
6. Start the spreader in motion and then pull the control
lever forward against the adjustable stop to the "ON"
position.
Always move the control lever to the "OFF" position
7.
before turning or stopping.
8. To ensure uniform coverage, make each pass so that
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern
from the previous pass. The approximate broadcast
widths for different materials are shown in the
application chart on this page.
9. For rectangular areas, make two passes across
the short ends to create turning areas. For non-
rectangular areas, make two passes around the
entire border.
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the
broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or
shrubs.

IMPORTANT: Minor setting adjustments may be necessary
to compensate for humidity and moisture content of the
material.
MAINTENANCE
1. Oil the free spinning wheel once a year or more often
as needed.
2. Oil the nylon bushings in the frame tube and the cross
brace once a year or more often as needed.
3. Apply a light coating of grease to the gears as needed.
4. Before each use make a thorough visual check of
the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have
loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
5. Make sure the tires are adequately inflated. Do not
inflate beyond the maximum pressure printed on the
tire.
WARNING: Over-inflated tires can explode,
causing serious injury. To avoid injury, NEVER
inflate tires beyond the maximum pressure
printed on the sidewall of the tire. ALWAYS
use a hand pump to safely inflate tires.
STORING
1. Empty the spreader after each use, storing left over
material in its original bag.
2. Rinse the inside of the hopper and the exterior of the
spreader and dry off before storing.
3. Store in a clean, dry area.
