For Rectangular Lawns:

each end for a turning area. Then
apply back and forth in the longest
direction.
Header Strip
4.
When finished,
sweep stray particles
back onto lawn area. If
product lands on any hard
surface such as a driveway,
sidewalk, or road, sweep
the product back onto the
lawn to keep it from being
washed into the storm
sewers and ultimately
surface waters.
5.
Never leave product in
the spreader. Pour leftover
material back into the
package and seal the
package tightly
After each use, wash
thoroughly over the
lawn to remove all
material clinging to the
spreader. Hot water may
be required at times to
remove stubborn residue.
Allow the spreader to dry
thoroughly in the sun.
Store your spreader in a
clean dry place.

For Irregular-Shaped Lawns:

Apply one header strip around the
entire lawn for a turning area, then
apply back and forth.
Header Strip
Spreader Overlap:
Using wheel tracks as a guide, make
each pass 5 feet from the previous to
ensure proper overlap and even lawn
coverage. Do not leave spreader
open when making turns.

The calibration for the Scotts Turf Builder EdgeGuard DLX broadcast spreader is controlled by a dial that sets the application rate. Turning the dial adjusts a stepped cylinder that acts as a stop to regulate how wide the chute door opens, which controls how much product flows to the spinning impeller. Specific calibration settings depend on the product being applied.
