2 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear points to the
front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise. Reversing the gear 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 flow rate. Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use.
Wash between the shut off plate and bottom of the hopper.
