The spreader settings are guidelines only. The spreader should be calibrated prior to application to
ensure accuracy.
The spreader settings are based on a walking speed of 3 MPH. Walking faster or slower will alter the
spread application rate. Exact rates depend upon the spreader itself and the accuracy of the person
operating it.
ADJUSTING THE FLOW
1. For proper material flow settings refer to the spreading instructions section.
2. Move the bolt on the flow control assembly to the proper setting and tighten.
3. Push the spreader forward at brisk walking speed to ensure a consistent coverage of material.
4. Move the flow control lever to the closed position before stopping.
CONSISTENT COVERAGE
To ensure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous
broadcast pattern as shown in the figures below. Your spreader comes with adjustable deflector shields
(shield down) to control the flow of Rock Salt or Ice Melt. The approximate broadcast widths for different
materials are shown in the application chart.
Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product.
Over application will lead to damage and contamination. If spreading material accidentally hits or
deposits too heavily, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning.
