USING YOUR SPREADER

1.Check the material package and the Spreader Settings sheetincludedwithyourspreaderforthe properspreader setting and application rate.

2.Before filling spreader, move the control lever to the

"OFF" position.

3.Move spreader onto a flat surface - either a walk or a driveway - and fill.

4.Slide the Adjustable Stop to the desired setting.

5.Start the spreader in motion, then move the control lever forward against the adjustable stop to begin spreading.

6.Maximum towing speed - 3 M.P.H.

NOTE: Always place control lever in the "OFF" position while filling spreader and when stopping or turning, to prevent release of excess fertilizer.

APPLICATION TIPS

1.This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending on the material used and the towing speed.

2.To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about 5 feet from the previous one so some overlapping of spread pattern does occur.

3.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 6.

4.If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the edges and then spread between the border. See figure 6.

5.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.
