MAINTENANCE
1. Never store unused material in spreader. Return unused product to its original container.
2. Set rate slide on the highest number, open spreader and spin wheels to remove excess material.
3. Wash out hopper thoroughly after each use to remove material clinging to surfaces. Pay close attention
to area between the shutoff bar and the hopper. Allow spreader to completely dry.
4. Oil bottom of hopper, control housing spring and agitators at the center bearing. Lubricate axle.

HOW TO USE RECOMMENDED WALKING PATTERN
1. Before filling hopper, make sure spreader handle lever is in the
“OFF” position. Always fill spreader on sidewalk or drive, not on
the lawn.
Optimum distribution at full rate
and single pass.
2. Loosen rate control knobs and move the tie bar to setting
recommended for the product applied. Retighten knobs. If setting
is not known, refer to “Determing Application Rates” section of
this book.
3. Always push spreader, do not pull. Start spreader in motion and
as it passes over the area to be treated, push handle lever to the
“ON” position. Close handle lever at the end of each pass.
4. Operate spreader at 3 MPH pace. (33.3 feet in 7.5 seconds)
5. Apply two header strips at each end of area to treated and then
proceed lengthwise between the header strips. Be sure to overlap
the wheel tracks slightly to prevent streaking.
6. When applying lime, do not use limestone that is so finely
ground that it will pack inside the hopper, or use hard, abrasive
particles, which will damage the spreader. Use only compacted,
free-flowing, non-abrasive lime products.
