Applying Product
1. Set Flow Rate
• Calculate or find the rate setting for the
product being spread. See the calculation
chart on the next page.
• With control lever in the off position, press
down on the calibration indicator button
and slide it to desired setting number.
2. Fill the Hopper
• With the spreader control lever in the off
position, fill the spreader over a patch of
bare ground or sidewalk/driveway.
• DO NOT fill the spreader on the lawn.
Sweep up any spilled product.
3. Apply
• While unit is in motion at approximately 3
miles per hour, push spreader control lever
up to calibration indicator button to release
product.
Application Tips
• For rectangular lawns, apply two header strips
at each end of the lawn and then go back and
forth between the header strips. Close spreader at
the end of each pass and reopen at the start of
next pass.
• For irregular-shaped lawns, apply one header
strip around the entire lawn, and then go back and
forth.
• To avoid streaks or misses, slightly overlap each
strip over the edge of the previous strip.
• Use the settings under “Standard Settings” Section
for most applications by figuring lbs. per 1000
square feet.
• These numbers are for a one pass application.
• A two pass application is recommended, using a
crisscross pattern. If using this method, us half the
setting number given.
• If you think too much is being applied, cut down
your setting. The solution for too much fertilizer is
water.
• Close Spreader at the end of each pass. Open
again at the start of your next pass.
