Check the product package for the rate setting, and recommended swath width. Loosen rate control knob and slide rate plate to the proper setting. The pattern is controlled by loosening the two knobs on the discharge chute and moving the chute closer or farther away from the impeller (setting A, B, or C). See “PATTERN ADJUSTMENT” for details.

Always fill the spreader on the driveway or sidewalk-not on the lawn. Make sure screen is in hopper and spreader is in the “OFF” position

Start spreader moving before opening port.

Close before stopping. Always push spreader, never pull.

Hold handle so top of spreader is level. Tipping the spreader too far can cause uneven spreading.

The settings and swath widths on the product label are recommended starting points. Always check the delivery rate and pattern on a small area before treating a large area. Actual delivery rate can vary due to weather conditions, operating variables, and condition of the product being applied. See “HOW TO DETERMINE SPREADER SETTINGS AND SPREAD WIDTH” for details.
