Application Tips
o For rectangular ~awns, apply two header strips
at each end of the lawn and then go back and
forth between the header strips. Close spreader at
the end of each pass and reopen at the start of
next pass.
o For irregular-shaped Iawns, apply one header
strip around the entire lawn, and then go back and
forth.
o To avoid streaks or misses, slightly overlap each
strip over the edge of the previous strip.
• Use the settings under “Standard Settings” Section
for most applications by figuring lbs. per 1000
square feet.
o These numbers are for a one pass application.
• A two pass application is recommended, using a
crisscross pattern. 1f using this method, us half the
setting number given.
o 1f you think too much is being applied, cut down
your setting. The solution for too much fertilizer is
water.
o Close Spreader at the end of each pass. Open
again at the start of your next pass.
