Maintenance Instructions
1. Empty hopper after each use. Do not store spreader
with material left in hopper.
2. Wash spreader thoroughly and wipe dry.
3. Lubricate all moving parts. Use a grease gun to ap-
ply grease to the gearbox assembly. CAUTION: Use
a reasonable amount of grease. DO NOT pack
gearbox full of grease. Apply oil to spinner shaft
(including area shaft that extends through hopper),
slide plate and where the spinner shaft and axle ex-
tend through the gearbox.
Broadcast Spreader Operation
1. Always have the control lever in OFF position
before filling the hopper.
2. Always push the spreader forward to operate:
do not operate in reverse.
3. Start moving forward before pushing the
control lever to the ON position. Pull the control
lever to OFF position before stopping or
turning.
4. Push the spreader at a steady pace.
5. To avoid misses or striping, space each pass
across the lawn so approximately 20% of the
spread with overlaps onto the previous pass.
This provides a “feathered” overlap to even out
distribution over the width of the spread.
DO NOT allow spreader to sit stationary with
material in the hopper and control lever in the
ON position
CAUTION: Care must be taken with any weed
killer, pesticide, or combination product. They
can be harmful to other plant life in the lawn.
Maximum operating weight—120 lbs.
