CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED
To calculate the amount of fertilizer you will need to cover your lawn, divide the coverage amount listed on the
label by the weight of the fertilizer bag. For example a 10lb. bag of fertilizer with coverage of 10,000 square
feet will distribute 1lb. of fertilizer every 1,000 square feet at full rate or 1/2lb. of fertilizer every 1,000 square
feet at half rate. For pre-calculated rates see Chart A (Example: 25LB. bag with 15,000 sq. ft. coverage =
1.7lb./1,000 sq. ft.). Use Chart B to find the closest spreader setting (Example: 1.7lb./1000 sq. ft. = Spreader
Setting of 12).

NOTE: DO NOT USE SALT. Using salt in this spreader (especially rock salt) will damage the mechanism
and shorten the life of the machine. If you do choose to use salt in your machine, you should remove
the agitator to reduce damage to the gearbox, use refined deicing salt and thoroughly clean the
spreader after use.
