1. Always have the control lever in OFF position
before filling the hopper.
2. Always push the spreader forward to operate;
do not pull backwards.
3. Start walking forward before pushing the control
lever to the ON position. Pull the control lever to
OFF position before stopping or turning.
DO NOT allow spreader to sit stationary with
material in the hopper and control lever in the
ON position.
4. Hold the handle at a height that will keep the
hopper level.
5. Push the spreader at a steady, brisk pace (approximately
3 mph is recommended).
6. To avoid misses or striping, space each pass across the
lawn so approximately 20% of the spread width overlaps
onto the previous pass. This provides a “feathered” over-
lap to even out distribution over the width of the spread.
CAUTION: care must be taken with any weed killer,
pesticide, or combination product. They can be harmful
to other plant life in the yard.
BROADCAST SPREADER OPERATION
1. Empty hopper after each use. Do not store spreader
with material left in hopper.
2. Wash spreader thoroughly and wipe dry.
3. Lubricate all moving parts. Use a grease gun to apply
grease to the gearbox assembly. CAUTION: Use a
reasonable amount of grease. DO NOT pack
gearbox full of grease. Apply oil to spinner shaft
(including area shaft extends through hopper), slide
plate and where the spinner shaft and axle extend
through the gearbox.
