Assembling your Cresco 25
Place the Hopper body (1) on the table so that the
gearbox is pointing upwards. Take the bolts out of
the main frame (1) - you will use these to attach
the backstand to the hopper body and main frame
(1). Remove the nuts from the bolt ends.
1
Take the backstand (5) and align it with the
holes on the main frame (1). Place the four bolts
through the holes available.
2
Take the pneumatic wheels (2) and slide them
over the axles on each side of the main frame
(1). You will also need the two cotter pins (8 & 9)
that sit inside the parts bag.
4
Use a spanner to tighten the lock nuts. The
backstand (5) should now be securely attached
to the hopper body and frame. (1).
3
Align the hole on the inside of the pneumatic
wheel (2) with the hole on the axle. Take the
large cotterpin (9) and thread it through the two
holes.
5
After threading the cotter pin (9) through the two
holes, use a pair of plyers to pull apart the two
ends of the cotter pin (9). The wheel will then be
secured in place.
6

4
Thread the four remaining bolts (6) through the
holes on the handle bar (4) and the back stand
(5).
11
Align the holes on the handle bar and on the
back stand (5).
10
Turn the hopper body and main frame (1) over
so that the spreader sits on its wheels and
backstand. Take the handle bar and slide it down
the two ends of the backstand.
9
Once in position, use the same plyers to split the
ends of the cotter pin (8) to hold the wheel in
place.
8
Take the small cotterpin (8) and place it through
the hole on the outside of the other wheel.
7
Take the bent end of the control rod (3) and
thread it through the hole at the back of the
pivot bracket. It should lock into place.

If the application hole is fully open and the lever
is set at 20, tighten the screw so that the control
rod (3) is secure.
Take the other end of the control rod (3) and
align it with the hole on the on/o mechanism of
the handle bar (4). Push the on/o lever all the
way to 20 and then hand tighten the screw.

Make sure the slider at the bottom of the hopper is
fully open. You should see the entirety of the holes
or hole on the slide system. Insert both agitators,
with the smaller one going under the larger.

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 nd 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 nd the required Cresco volume setting, please visit,

How to use the Cresco 25

10
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 owing to ensure it will ow
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 eective 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.
Your outlet hole should look like this
before you pour in any material.

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 benecial.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any variations in sq. metre application volumes, or spread width dierences, due to possible variations in materials, application conditions at the time and dierent operator application techniques.
