How to use the Cresco 10
How to Apply Fertilizer to your lawn like a pro in four steps!
Step 1: Understanding the application rate and settings
Step 2: Preparing the Spreader
Step 3: Walking Patterns for the optimum application
Step 4: Cleaning & Maintenance
Step 1: Understand the application rate and
settings
Application Rate Settings
Check the back of the fertilizer bag
to find out the recommended G/m²
and spreader application setting.
If the spreader setting is not on the back
of the bag, please get in touch with your
fertilizer bag provider.
Set the handle to the correct setting.
If you are unable to find the required Cresco volume setting, please visit,
www.crescospreaders.com

Spread Pattern Settings
Once you have the correct application rate, you will need to check that the
spread of material is even on both sides of the spread pattern.
To balance the spread pattern for your material, check online or with your
fertilizer or seed provider.
For a quick reference, please refer to our guide on the previous page
Step 2: Preparing the Spreader
Check the material to be applied is dry and free flowing to ensure it will flow
freely through the hopper. Make sure your application rate and spread pattern
settings are correct, close the application hole fully and then pour in your
material.

WARNING **Do not pour material in the hopper when the application holes are
open as it can lead to spillages or leaks that can damage the area. Do not open
the gauge until you are over the area you want to spread and are moving at a
brisk walk***
Step 3: Walking Patterns for the optimum
application (For Fertilizer Only)
There are two methods of effective spreading, longitudinal fertilizer spreading
and cross sectional fertilizer spreading.
When applying fertilizer please make sure you walk at 3mph and keep the
hopper in a stable, upright position.

12
Longitudinal Fertilizer Spreading
½ the application rate suggested on
the back of your fertilizer bag
Cover the area as shown by going
over your tire marks left on the pre-
vious pass
Cross Sectional Fertilizer Spreading
½ the application rate suggested on
the back of your fertilizer bag
Cover the area as shown making
the second pass at the edge of your
spread pattern or where the fertilizer
thrown begins to feather.

Application guide for fertilisers.
LHS (Left hand slider adjuster) is recommended to be engaged when spreading large sized granular materials to provide a more uniform distribution on the left and right side of the spread pattern. Conversely with very light materials (e.g. grass seed) engaging the RHS (Right hand slider adjuster) will be similarly beneficial. *Do not spread Fertiliser or seed materials with the winter slider* The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any variations in sq. metre application volumes, or spread width differences, due to possible variations in materials, application conditions at the time and different operator application techniques.
