Operation Notes:

1. The spreader is designed to be operated at
a brisk walking pace (approx. 3 mph). Walking
slower or faster will alter the distribution pattern
and amount of the material, as will the moisture
content of the material & other environmental
factors.

2. Grease may be applied to the wheel axles, and
moving parts as desired.

WARNING

When filling hopper, make certain there are no large
objects within the material. Objects larger than the
openings in the Screen may cause the spreader to
clog or even damage the drive system. Never leave
material in the hopper when not in use.
