Hazard Signal Word Definitions
ABOUT YOUR PUSH SPREADER
This push spreader is designed to spreader a wide range of materials (Fertilizer and Grass Seed).
Materials such as Powders, Manure, Top Soil, Gravel, and Mulch have the wrong physical characteristics
and should not be used with this spreader. Never exceed the rated load capacity of 100lbs when
operating the spreader.
Your spreader needs to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster
speeds will change the spread patterns. Wet spreading material will also change the spread pattern and
flow rate. Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of
the hopper.
Ensure that the FRONT of the gear box points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn
clockwise. Reversing the gear box will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise. Clean the impeller
plate after each use. Spreading material stuck on the impeller blades will cause uneven spreading.
Do not open the gear box or dirt may enter these gears are permanently lubricated at the factory.
Technical specifications on the push spreader are provided in the “Specifications” section of this manual.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert
you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all
safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid
possible injury or death.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
DANGER
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.

STEP 1: Install impeller onto the Gear Box
1. Insert Screw M4x20 through impeller then through gear box axle.
STEP 2: Install Wheel Assembly Frame on the Gear Box
1. Make sure the hole on axle of gear box is on the right side of the assembly as shown below. Attach
one end of frame brace to hopper frame assembly using bolts M6x35 and lock nuts M6.
2. Insert two bolts M6x35 into the connecting cross rod through the wheel assembly frames and
frame braces. Insert bolts M6x60 through the wheel assembly frames onto hopper frame
assembly, put on lock nuts M6 and loosely tighten.

STEP 3: Insert Inner Axle Bushing into Outer Axle Bushing
1. Make sure everything has been tightened. Install the right tire assembly to right axle using bolt
M5x45 and lock nut M5, and then install nylon washer and end cap onto right axle using a wooden
or rubber hammer.
2. Install the left tire assembly to left axle, put a nylon washer and flat washer Ø16 and install the end
cap onto the left axle using a wooden or rubber hammer.
STEP 4: Installing Connecting Handle
1. Put the connecting handle between the two lower handles of the wheel frame assembly.
2. Attach the pivot & bracket assembly to the lower handles of the wheel frame assembly using bolts
M6x55 and lock nuts M6.
3. Tighten all nuts and bolts starting with the first step DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

- 10 -
STEP 5: Installing Gauge and Handle
1. Upper handle has three positions for operator comfort before installing the gauge operator needs
to determine the best.
2. Insert bolt M6X50 through both upper handles, flat washer and loosely tighten the M6 lock nut.
3. Install gauge & lever using two M6X50 bolts. Be sure the gauge is on left hand side. Tighten the
lock nuts for gauge first, and then tighten the lock nut for the upper handles in step 2.
STEP 6: Installing the Hopper
1. Lower the hopper into the frame assembly, carefully line up the hole in the bottom of the hopper
with the frame.
2. Using four hex bolts M6 x 45 and four washers, fasten the hopper to the frame by passing the bolts
through the hopper and mounting tube. Secure with lock M6 nuts.

- 11 -
STEP 7: Installing Control Rod
1. Push the handle gauge to the lowest position and insert the upper end of control rod into the hole
on the adjustable handle.
2. Remove one of nuts from threaded pole and insert the nut through the hole of pivot & bracket and
threaded pole and tighten.
3. Insert the threaded pole of adjustable pole B into the hole of adjustable plate, and then put the lock
nut M6 and flat washer Ø6.
4. Insert R Pin into the hole of turning axle at the bottom of hopper as shown.
STEP 8: Hopper Adjustments
When you finished all the above steps, you may find three holes at the bottom of hopper; match the three
holes with the adjustable plate.
If the holes do not match up do the following steps, Push the handle to the lowest position <downwards>
and adjust the positions of these two nuts on threaded control bar so the three holes at the bottom of
hopper closely match the three holes of adjustable plate (must closed properly).

WARNING
Before using the push spreader, review the instructions below and safety information before operating.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or
bystanders.
USING YOUR SPREADER
1. Inspect your spreader before each use. Make sure the wheels turn easily, and the gearbox moves
when the spreader is pushed. The hopper should be clean and free from cracks.
2. Spreader is designed to spread a range of materials (Fertilizer and Grass Seed). Materials such as
Powder, Manure, Top Soil, Gravel, and Mulch have the wrong physical characteristics and should not
be used with your spreader
3. Do not use spreader on windy days when spreading grass seed or herbicides.
4. Determine approximate square footage of the area to be covered and estimate amount of material
required. Please refer to fertilizer manufacturer’s recommendation. Break up any lumpy fertilizer as
you fill the hopper.
5. Before filling the hopper, make sure that the flow control lever is in the“0”position and the flow control
plate is closed.
6. Set the adjustable stop with the flow control lever always in the“0”position. Every time you are ready
to stop or turn back, close the flow control plate to stop dispersing the material and continue one more
stride. This reduces waste and avoids damaging the lawn with oversaturated product coverage.
7. Follow fertilizer manufacturer’s recommended coverage rate for each product
8. To maintain the same coverage when walking at a different speed, adjust the flow rate. Reduce the
flow setting for slower speeds and increase the flow setting for higher speeds.
9. Keep the impeller plate horizontal when operating the spreader. Tilting the spreader will result in
uneven coverage.
10. Make sure the R pin is installed in the hopper before starting the spreader.
11. Always start walking prior to opening the closure plate.
12. Always close the flow control plate before turning or stopping the spreader.
13. If spreading material is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak the area thoroughly
with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
14. To insure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous
broadcast pattern.
15. When broadcasting spreading material, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,
flowers or shrubs.
16. Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product. Over
application will lead to lawn damage and contamination.
Operation Instructions

ADJUSTING THE FLOW
1. Push the handle to the top position (upwards). Move the position of the wing nut on the gauge &
lever to adjust the three holes between hopper and adjustable plate when spreading material.
CONSISTENT COVERAGE
To insure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous broadcast
pattern as shown in figure below for large particles. The approximate broadcast widths for different size
materials are shown in Chart B.
WARNING
Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product. Over
application will lead to damage and contamination. If spreading material accidentally hits or deposits
too heavily, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent chemical burning.
Operation Instructions

- 14 -
CALCULATING AMOUNT OF MATERIAL NEEDED
To calculate the amount of fertilizer you will need to cover your lawn, divide the coverage amount listed on
the label by the weight of the fertilizer bag. For example a 10LB. bag of fertilizer with coverage of 10,000
square feet will distribute 1LB. of fertilizer every 1,000 square feet at full rate or 1/2LB. of fertilizer every
1,000 square feet at half rate. For pre-calculated rates see Chart A (Example: 25LB. bag with 15,000 sq. ft.
coverage = 1.7LB./1,000 sq. ft.). Use Chart B to find the closest spreader setting (Example: 1.7LB./1000
sq. ft. = Spreader Setting of 5).
