Instructions / Assembly

1. Check the product package for the rate
setting, and recommended swath width. Loosen
rate control knob and slide rate plate to the
proper setting. The pattern is controlled by
loosening the two knobs on the discharge chute
and moving the chute closer or farther away
from the impeller (setting A, B, or C). See
“PATTERN ADJUSTMENT” for details.
2. Always fill the spreader on the driveway or
sidewalk-not on the lawn. Make sure screen is in
hopper and spreader is in the “OFF” position
.
3. Start spreader moving before opening port.
Close before stopping. Always push spreader,
never pull.
4. Hold handle so top of spreader is level.
Tipping the spreader too far can cause uneven
spreading.
5. The settings and swath widths on the product
label are recommended starting points. Always
check the delivery rate and pattern on a small
area before treating a large area. Actual delivery
rate can vary due to weather conditions,
operating variables, and condition of the
product being applied. See “HOW TO
DETERMINE SPREADER SETTINGS AND
SPREAD WIDTH” for details.

NOTE: This spreader is equipped with a deflector shield that is used for applying ice melt to
narrow areas. Shield is easily removed for ice melt application to large areas or when using
turf care products.
4. Hold the ends of the deflector open slightly to
clear the spreader frame in the back. Hang the
deflector onto the spreader bumper bar. Align the
slots in the back of deflector with the top frame
bolts and secure both sides of the deflector with
washers and wing nuts. To remove, simply loosen
the wing nuts, spread the deflector slightly to clear
the frame, and slide the deflector off. Retighten
wing bolts
