Assembly and Operation Instructions HELPFUL HINTS Read the directions before assembly. If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure “FRONT” on the GEARBOX points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise when pushing forward. Reversing the GEARBOX during assembly will cause issues. Your spreader is calibrated for three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed.
