Broadcast Spreader Operation

3. Start moving forward before pushing the control lever to the ON position. PulI the control lever
to the 0FF position before stopping or turning.
4. To avoid misses or striping, space each pass across the lawn so approximately 2O% of the
spread width overlaps the previous pass. This provides a feathered overlap to even out
distribution over the width of the spread.
5. Maximum Capacity 100 Lbs.
DO NOT allow spreader to sit stationary with material in the hopper and contro~ ‘ever in
the ON position.
Maintenance
1. Before each use, check all nuts and bolts for tightness.

3. Wash spreader thoroughly and wipe dry. The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your
unit clean and dry.

5. Lubricate all moving parts. Apply oil to spinner shaft (including where the shaft extends into the
hopper), slide plate, and where the spinner shaft and axle where it extend through the gearbox.
