HELPFUL HINTS: REVIEW THE DIRECTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
; Make sure the ARROW 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. A coating of light spray oil on all metal parts will help prevent corrosion, pay special
attention to coating the inside of the steel tubing.
; Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gearbox or dirt may enter.
