opEratIoN
Do not use powdered lawn chemicals. They do not give a
satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.
Estimate the size of the area to be covered and calculate
1.
the amount of material required.
2. Set the adjustable stop according to the flow setting
recommended in the application chart on this page. Also
refer to the instructions on the packaging for the material to
be spread.
3. The application chart is calculated for light to heavy
coverage at a vehicle speed of 3 mph, or 100 ft. in 23
seconds.

7.
forward against the adjustable stop to the "ON" position.
8. Always move the control lever to the "OFF" position before

9. To ensure uniform coverage, make each pass so that
the broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from
the previous pass. The approximate broadcast widths for
different materials are shown in the application chart on this
page.
10. For rectangular areas, make two passes across the short
ends to create turning areas. For non-rectangular areas,
make two passes around the entire border.
11. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the
broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or
shrubs.
