Earth Way POLAR TECH 90365 Installation instructions

HELPFUL HINTS: READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
THIS SPREADER COMES PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED, REQUIRING YOU TO INSTALL THE WHEELS, HANDLE ASSEMBLY AND
CONTROL ROD. IT SHOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES WITH THE USE OF TWO 7/16” WRENCHES AND 1 PAIR
OF PLIERS.
Clean the impeller plate after each use. Material build up on the impeller blades will cause uneven spreading.
Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds
Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
When using Rock Salt remove salt from the hopper daily. Rock Salt will reconstitute back into a solid block over night
lubricant to prevent corrosion.
1. Open carton and remove the handle assembly, wheels, and spreader from
carton.
2. Turn spreader upside-down on to the hopper.
