SAFETY INFORMATION

Read the information on the chemical package for
1.
instructions and cautions on handling and applying.
2. Wear eye and hand protection when handling and when
applying lawn or garden chemicals.
3. Never allow children to operate the vehicle or spreader.
OPERATION
Do not use powdered lawn chemicals. They do not give a
satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.
Estimate the size of the area to be covered and calculate
1.
the amount of material required.
2. Set the adjustable stop according to the flow setting
recommended in the application chart on this page. Also
refer to the instructions on the packaging for the material to
be spread.
3. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy
coverage at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23
seconds. Do not exceed 6 mph.
4. Make sure the control lever is in the "OFF" position.
5. Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.
6. Start the spreader in motion and then pull the control lever
forward against the adjustable stop to the "ON" position.
Always move the control lever to the "OFF" position before
7.
turning or stopping.
8. To ensure uniform coverage, make each pass so that
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from
the previous pass. The approximate broadcast widths for
different materials are shown in the application chart on this
page.
9. For rectangular areas, make two passes across the short
ends to create turning areas. For non-rectangular areas,
make two passes around the entire border.
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the
broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or
shrubs.
DISENGAGING THE DRIVE WHEEL
The spreader is equipped with a removable pin in the left (drive)
wheel. Remove the pin to disengage the drive wheel so that
the axle, gears, and spreader plate do not rotate. With the drive
wheel disengaged, the spreader may be towed at speeds up to
20 mph. If the drive wheel is engaged, do not exceed 6 mph.
