ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
2. Slide wheels onto the axle with the hub
cap side of the hup away from the hopper.
Note: the drive wheel has a rectangular
opening matching one end of the axle. Insert
cotter pins in the holes on each end of the
axle and bend to secure. Align the hub caps
and snap them into place.
1. Remove the spreader and
components from carton and place
hopper facing on a padded surface as
shown. Insert lower ends of the handle
brace inside the hopper, align the holes
and attach the leg bracket using (2) 1/4-
20 x 1 1/2” Hex bolts and Wing Nuts.
Secure Leg to Bracket (Leg can be
located in 2 positions to best fit operator)

and Wing Nuts. Repeat on opposite side.
3. Turn spreader upright and insert the
T-handle/tube assembly into the handle
with the ON/OFF on the T-handle facing
up. Align hole and insert the Carriage
Bolt as shown and secure with a Wing
Nut. Slide control wire through handle
brace removing the safety tag. Push the
thumb release toward the center and
push down on the control knob until it
latches. (See Fig.1) Caution: do not
move thumb release until bottom of
wire is attached.
3. Slide the wire retaining clip onto the
bottom end of the control wire. Insert the “L”
end of wire through the hole in the shutoff
link. Slide wire retaining clip over the shutoff
link and protruding wire until the hole in the
clip seats over the wire as shown.

OPERATION
1. Before filling hopper, make sure spreader is in the
“OFF” position. Always fill spreader on walk or drive,
not on the lawn.
2. Turn the rate control dial to the desired setting. If
setting is not known, try different settings until desired
results are achieved.
3. Always push spreader, do not pull. Start spreader
in motion and as it passes over the area to be treated,
move the thumb release to the “ON” position. Close
spreader at the end of each pass.
4. Operate spreader at 2 1/2 MPH pace (18 feet in 5
seconds).
MAINTENANCE
1. Never store unused material in spreader. Return unused product to its original container.
2. Set rate dial on the highest number, open spreader and spin wheels to remove excess
material.
3. Wash out hopper thoroughly after each use to remove material clinging to surfaces. Pay
close attention to area between the shutoff bar and hopper. Allow spreader to completely dry.
4. Oil the axle bearings and the control knob wire. Store spreader in open position.
5. Apply two header strips at each endof area to be treated
and then proceed lengthwise between the header strips. Be
sure to overlap the wheel tracks slightly to prevent missed
strips.
6. Apply ice melt prior to the storm to reduce unmanageable
levels of ice and snow.
