HELPFUL HINTS: READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
THIS SPREADER COMES PARTIALLY ASSEMBLED, REQUIRING YOU TO INSTALL THE WHEELS, HANDLE ASSEMBLY AND 
CONTROL ROD. IT SHOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES WITH THE USE OF TWO 7/16” WRENCHES AND 1 PAIR 
OF PLIERS.
 ; Clean the impeller plate after each use. Material build up on the impeller blades will cause uneven spreading.
 ; Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds 
will change the spread patterns. Wet material will also change the spread pattern and ow rate. 
 ; Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper.
 ; Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
 ; When using Rock Salt remove salt from the hopper daily. Rock Salt will reconstitute back into a solid block over night 
with humidity. As a preventative measure, spray all metal parts thoroughly (inside the tubing) with WD-40 or a spray 
lubricant to prevent corrosion.
1. Open carton and remove the handle assembly, wheels, and spreader from 
carton.
2. Turn spreader upside-down on to the hopper.
