Spreading Material
• Check the material package for the proper spreader
setting and application rate.
• Before filling spreader, move the control lever to the
"OFF" position.
• Move spreader onto a flat surface - either a walk or a
driveway - and fill.
• Slide the adjustable stop to the desired setting.
• Start the spreader in motion, then move the control
lever forward against the adjustable stop to begin
spreading.
• NOTE: Always place control lever in the "OFF" position
while filling spreader and when stopping or turning, to
prevent release of excess fertilizer..
• DO NOT EXCEED 6 MPH WHILE TOWING SPREADER
Application Tips
• This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending on
the material used and the towing speed.
• To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about 5 feet
from the previous one so some overlapping of spread
pattern does occur.
• For easiest application, spread across the shortest edges
of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a turning
area, and then spreading between the header strips.
See figure 10.
• If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the edges
and then spread between the border. See figure 10.
• Keep wheel approximately 4 feet from any area you do
not wish to spread.
• IMPORTANT: Be careful when using spreader around
ornamental plants because weed control chemicals can
damage these plants.
