DO NOT allow spreader to sit stationary with
material in the hopper and control lever in the
ON position.
4. Push the spreader at a steady speed.
5. To avoid misses or striping, space each pass across the
lawn so approximately 20% of the spread width overlaps
onto the previous pass. This provides a ìfeatheredî over-
lap to even out distribution over the width of the spread.
CAUTION: care must be taken with any weed killer,
pesticide, or combination product. They can be harmful
to other plant life in the yard.
BROADCAST SPREADER OPERATION
1. Empty hopper after each use. Do not store spreader
with material left in hopper.

Apply oil to spinner shaft
(including area shaft extends through hopper), slide
plate and where the spinner shaft and axle extend
through the gearbox.
CAUTION: Use a
reasonable amount of grease. DO NOT pack
