OPERATION APPLICATION HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER 1. This unit will cover a 4 to 8 foot wide area depending on the material used and walking speed of the user. 2. To avoid misses or striping, make each pass about 5 feet from the previous one so some overlapping of spread pattern does occur. 3. 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 6. 4.
