NOTE: When determining required setting, the edge of the
wingnut is the marker, and not the center of wingnut. When
the fl ow control handle is opened fully, the edge of the
wingnut should be on the 30 mark.
IMPORTANT! Remember to start and stop the spread while
moving. Do not open the fl ow control lever while stopped or
material will simply run onto the ground without being spread.
Spread header strips at each end of area. This allows a
turn-around area to align spreader for next pass. Then start
on the edge of the area to be spread. Spread until you hit
the header area. Turn the fl ow control handle to off while still
moving. Make your turn and start down the next row. Turn
the fl ow control handle back on as you hit the edge of your
header area. Turn the fl ow control handle on while move.
