OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING FLOW CONTROL
1.
For proper material flow settings refer to the spreading instructions section.
2.
Move the bolt on flow control assembly to the proper setting and tighten.
3.
Pushing the spreader forward at a brisk walking speed to ensure consistent cover-
age of material.
4.
To stop or turning, move the flow control handle to the closed position before stop-
UK
ping or turning.
CAUTION: The spreader settings are guidelines only. The spreader should be calibrated prior to application to
ensure accuracy.
The spreader settings are based on a walking speed of 3 MPH. Walking faster or slower will alter the spread ap-
plication rate. Exact rates depend upon the spreader itself and the accuracy of the person operating it.
CONSISTENT COVERAGE
To insure consistent coverage, make sure each drop pattern slightly overlaps the previ-
ous pattern as shown in the figure below.
WARNING: Do not over apply material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product. Over application
will lead to damage and contamination. If spreading material accidentally hits or deposits to heavily, soak the area
thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning.
