HELPFUL HINTS:
; 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 after each use as some
fertilizer may become stuck on the impeller blades and 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. To prevent rust, please coat all metal surfaces, also inside tubes where possible, with a light oil or WD-40. Wash between the shut
off plate and bottom of the hopper.
; Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
; If you must use Rock Salt remove the agitator to prevent damage to the gearbox and remove salt from the hopper daily. Rock Salt
will reconstitute back into a solid block over night with humidity and will damage your spreader.
