SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read the information on the chemical package for
instructions and cautions on handling and applying.
2. Wear eye and hand protection when handling and when
applying lawn or garden chemicals.
3. Never allow children to operate the vehicle or spreader.
ASSEMBLY
The meanings of symbols used in the illustrations are as
follows:
Do not tighten yet.
Tighten now.
OPERATION
Do not use powdered lawn chemicals. They do not give a
satisfactory or consistent broadcast pattern.
1. Estimate the size of the area to be covered and calculate
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. Do not exceed 6 mph.
4. Make sure the control lever is in the "OFF" position.
5. Fill the hopper, breaking up any lumpy fertilizer.
6. Start the spreader in motion and then pull the control lever
forward against the adjustable stop to the "ON" position.
7. Always move the control lever to the "OFF" position before
turning or stopping.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure the
broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees, flowers or shrubs.

STORING
1. Empty the spreader after each use, storing left over
material in its original bag.
2. Rinse the inside of the hopper and the exterior of the
spreader and dry off before storing.
3. Store in a clean, dry area.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
1. If you replace the gears, be sure to reassemble the axle,
gears and washers in their original positions. Add grease to
the gears.
MAINTENANCE
1. Oil the free spinning wheel once a year or more often as
needed.
2. Oil the nylon bushings in the frame tube and the cross
brace once a year or more often as needed.
3. Apply a light coating of grease to the gears as needed.
4. Before each use make a thorough visual check of the
spreader for any bolts and nuts which may have loosened.
Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.
5. Make sure the tires are adequately inflated. Do not inflate
beyond the maximum pressure printed on the tire.
WARNING:
causing serious injury. To avoid injury, NEVER
inflate tires beyond the maximum pressure printed
on the sidewall of the tire. ALWAYS use a hand
pump to safely inflate tires.
