HELPFUL HINTS: READ THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
; If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box points to the front of the spreader. The
impeller must turn clockwise. Reversing the gearbox will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise. Clean the impeller
plate after each use. Fertilizer stuck 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 fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and ow rate. Clean and dry your
spreader thoroughly after each use. Coat all metal surfaces (inside & outside of chassis tubes) with light oil or silicon spray
to help prevent corrosion. Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper. Do not use powdered materials.
; Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
