READ BEFORE USING
Become Familiar With The Operation Of The Spreader Before
You Put Material In The Hopper
• Practice walking with the spreader, opening and
closing the rate gate at the appropriate times.
• Travel at a constant speed and operate the spreader
lever position. Remember: Open the rate gate after
the spreader is in motion at operating speed (about
3 mph, or at a brisk walking pace).
• Close the rate gate while spreader is still at
operational speed.
Dial Setting Information
The RATE DIAL has 9 numbers with 10 stops between
each number. This allows for accurate control of the
spreading rate. The dial is set with only a turn, it will
automatically lock into the set position. LINE UP THE
DIAL NUMBER WITH THE DIAL INDICATOR.
Rate Dial
• The spread width ranges from 4 - 12 ft. wide
depending on the volume/density, particle size of the
material, and rate of travel.
• The spread thins or feathers at the outer edges,
eliminating sharp, "Edge Of Spread" lines which
cause stripes and streaks. Extra coverage can be
given under trees and other heavy feeding areas
without showing "Edge Of Spread" lines.
• Gaps and double overlaps are less likely. Small
errors in travel are forgiven and do not show.
WARNING: When spreading products containing
herbicides, exercise extreme caution with respect to
careless spreading and to wind-drift.
Contact Of Some Products On
Some Plants Can Be Fatal
If a dial setting is not found, use the size and weight
comparison table found in this manual. Determine a
dial setting on the low side. If the setting proves to
be too low, cover the area more than one time. A
higher setting can be used when a proven dial setting is
established.
Remember: Published dial settings are
approximate only. The operation of the spreader, the
condition of the material (damp or dry or over-pulverized)
and weather conditions, are all contributing factors.
For these reasons, it is often a good idea to spread the
area 2 times - or one-half rate - in cross directions (SEE
INFORMATION ON ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS).
One-half rate dial settings are highly recommended under
damp and humid conditions.
Rotary Agitator
Use the rotary agitator only if needed. Free-flowing,
lump-free materials will not require the agitator. The
rotary agitator is easily installed or removed. Note the
clockwise rotation and sweep. Place felt washer around
spinner shaft before inserting agitator.

READ BEFORE USING
Now You Are Ready To Put
Material In The Hopper
WARNING: Avoid Injury! Chemicals can be
dangerous. Avoid injury to operators or bystanders.
• Make sure the rate gate is in the closed position.
• Read chemical container label for handling
instructions. A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
should be supplied by the chemical dealer and
provides proper safety information.
• Wear proper clothing and safety equipment while
handling or applying chemicals.
• Prohibit all smoking, drinking, and eating around
chemicals.
• When spreading products containing herbicides,
exercise extreme caution with respect to careless
spreading and to wind-drift. Contact Of Some
Products On Some Plants Can Be Fatal.
• Fill the spreader on a flat, level surface only. Fill on
sidewalk, driveway, cardboard, etc. to avoid material
loss.
• When filling hopper with material, always use screen
to help break up clumps.
Now You Are Ready To Spread
• Keep spinner blade clean. Excess material build-up
can cause an uneven spread pattern.
• Keep the impeller level when spreading.
• DO NOT overload. Maximum capacity is 120 lbs.
• DO NOT use on windy days.
• Spread header strips at the ends of the area
OPPOSITE of the direction of spreading. This will
provide a "turn-around" area, an area to re-align the
spreader for the return spread.
• Example shown is for 6 ft. wide spread. Make the
first spread pass at one-half the spread width from
the edge of the spreading area or in this case,
approximately 3 feet (or one big step).
• Additional spreading passes will be at the full spread
width or approximately 6 ft. apart.
• TAKE A SIGHTING AT THE FAR END. Keep your eye
on the sighting as you spread. You will not need
to wonder where you are or where you have been.
Continue until spreading is completed.
• Left over fertilizer can be spread under trees and
other high feeding areas without showing "edge of
spread" lines.
Tip: When not spreading, and if pushing the spreader
some distance, tip the spreader so only the idle wheel is
on the ground.

Cleaning The Spreader Is Part
Of The Spreading Job
Clean and oil spreader immediately after each use.
Method #1 - Wipe spreader thoroughly with an oily cloth.
Oil all bearings and bearing areas.
Method #2 - Wash, rinse, and dry the spreader. Note:
Drying takes time. Moisture trapped in bearing areas is
slow to go. Immediately after drying - oil all bearings and
moving parts. Make certain all operations are thorough.
NOTE: Good "Dry Cleaning" is preferable to poor "Wet
Cleaning".
• It is virtually impossible to have rust and corrosion on
a clean, dry, oiled surface.
• Again - just before using - oil all bearings and moving
parts.
• In storage, ideally the spreader should be hung by
the handle. In any case, do not pile weight on the
spreader, as excess weight over a period of time can
distort the tires.
Oil Bearings And All Moving
Parts
Make sure the spreader is running freely!
