when applying lawn or garden chemicals.

and applying the chemicals purchased for spreading.
5. Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
equipment is in safe working condition.
6. Follow maintenance and lubrication instructions as
outlined in this manual.

USING YOUR SPREADER
1. Check the material package and the Spreader Set-
tings sheet included with your spreader for the proper
spreader setting and application rate.
2. Before filling spreader, push the control lever to the
"OFF" position.
3. Move spreader onto a flat surface - either a walk or a
driveway - and fill.
4. Set the Adjustable Stop to the desired setting.
5. Start the spreader in motion and then move the
control lever forward to the "ON" position as you walk
across your lawn.
NOTE: Always place control lever in the "OFF" position
while filling spreader and when stopping or turning, to
prevent release of excess fertilizer.
APPLICATION TIPS
1. To avoid misses or striping, overlap the previous
wheel tracks by approximately 3 inches.
2. For easiest application, spread across the shortest
edges of lawn first, making two "header" strips for a
turning area, and then spreading between the header
strips. See figure 1.
3. If lawn is odd shaped, spread a border around the
edges and then spread between the border. See
figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Be careful when using spreader around
ornamental plants because weed controls can dam-
age these plants.
