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 Bag
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, use half of
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.

Calculating Your Flow Setting
To calculate how many pounds of material to spread
per 1000 square feet of lawn. Follow these steps.
1. Read on your material bag how many square feet
of area the contents of the bag will cover and how
many pounds the bag weighs.
Example:
You have purchased a bag of fertilizer that states
that it will cover 5,000 square feet, and weighs
16.0 pounds.
2. To calculate coverage divide bag weight by
suggested coverage to obtain pounds per square
foot that is needed to be applied.
Example:
16.0 lbs. ÷ 5,000 sq. ft. = .0032 lbs./sq. ft.
3. To calculate how much you need for 1000 sq. ft.
multiply the pounds per square foot obtained
above by 1000.
Example:
.0032 lbs/sq. ft. x 1000 = 3.2 lbs./1000 sq. ft.
4. Refer to standard settings table and locate the
appropriate settings number.
Example:
3.2 lbs./1000 sq. ft is closest to a 3 lbs./1000 sq. ft
so the spreader setting is a 5.
These are general information setting intended to
be used as only references.

Caution
On the bag of fertilizer there should be a
chart that gives the recommended settings for
that particular bag. Because different
manufactures of fertilizer make the granules
different sizes it is impossible for spreader
manufactures to give guidelines for all of the
different fertilizers. In addition to this walking
speed and terrain, may vary, therefore settings
may need to be adjusted. Because of these
conditions, Precision Product Inc. makes no
warranty as to the uniformity of coverage
actually obtained from any of these
