HOW TO USE YOUR SPREADER SETTING THE FLOW CONTROL (Refer to figure 16 and 17) 1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut. The higher the setting number, the wider the opening in the bottom of the hopper. 2.
USING YOUR SPREADER IMPORTANT: Application rates shown in the chart are affected by humidity and by the moisture content of the material (granular and pellet). Some minor setting adjustments may be necessary to compensate for this condition. The use of powdered lawn chemicals is not recommended, due to difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern. 1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate amount of material required. 2.
MAINTENANCE CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS GREASE 1. Before each use, make a thorough visual check of the spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any loose bolts and nuts. OIL CHECK FOR WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS 2. Check for worn or damaged parts before each use. Repair or replace parts if necessary. CHECK TIRE INFLATION 3. Check if tires are adequately inflated before each use. Do not inflate tires beyond maximum recommended pressure.
