• When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make
sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen
trees, flowers or shrubs.
• Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over
the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover
(shown in figure 14) acts as a wind and moisture
shield, but not as a rain cover.
