6. Using the provided wrenches, tighten the four lock nuts

7. Attach the shorter end of the control rod to the feed plate
lever on the back of the spreader using a M6x16 hex bolt,
nylon washer and lock nut (Fig.4).

attached to the handle. With the control lever set to the
closed setting (all the way back), push the entire control
lever assembly down until the hole in the bottom of the
hopper is completely closed by the feed plate, before
tightening the two bolts (Fig. 6).

Operation
1. Before filling the hopper, make sure the hitch pin is
installed, and the control lever is set all the way back so
that the feed plate is fully closed (Fig. 7).
2. Place the hopper screen into the hopper before filling it
with material. Estimate the size of the coverage area and
follow the material manufacturer’s instructions regarding
the appropriate amount. Break up any lumps as you fill the
hopper.
3. If necessary, install the cover over the hopper to protect the
material from excessive wind or moisture.
NOTE: Do not use it as a rain cover.
4. Always start pushing the spreader before adjusting the
control lever to open the feed plate.
5. To open the feed plate, push the control lever to the right
and rotate it forward until it clicks into one of the notches
(Fig. 8).
NOTE: The control lever has five feed control settings.
Going from back to front, they are: closed, low, medium,
high and fully opened.

6. Keep the spreader level with the ground and maintain a
steady pace while pushing it.
NOTE: You may find that you need to adjust the feed
control depending on your walking speed.
7. To ensure even coverage, spread the material in parallel
lines as shown. Slightly overlap previously covered ground
so you do not miss any spots (Fig. 9).
8. Always move the control lever to the closed position before
turning, stopping or reversing. This reduces waste and
avoids oversaturating and thereby damaging your lawn.
9. If material is accidentally deposited too heavily on a
particular area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden
hose to prevent it from burning your lawn.
Care + Maintenance
• After each use, clear out any remaining material from the
hopper and the impeller. Then, rinse the spreader and leave
it to dry.
• The recommended pressure for the pneumatic tires is 20
PSI.
• Periodically inspect all fasteners and tighten if necessary.
• Use a grease gun to add additional grease into the grease
fittings on the wheel bearings.
• Check for worn or damaged parts. Replace worn parts as
necessary or contact the SnowJoe®+ SunJoe®customer
service center at 1‑866‑SNOWJOE (1‑866‑766‑9563) for
repair before using the product again.
Storage
• Never store the spreader with material remaining in the
hopper.
• Store indoors.
