GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Be sure gate control is in the closed position (do not hold bail down when filling).
• Determine appropriate setting for material being used by reading the suggested setting on the material's bag AND/OR by referencing the application chart on your spreader's control panel (Charts provided are only guidelines. Be sure to read the instructions on the bag/box of the material you're spreading to identify accurate setting needed).
• Set the dial to the desired setting Important Note: Do not adjust dial while holding bail down and gate is open. This will alter the accuracy of gate settings and cause parts to break.
• To begin spreading, start walking (about 3 mph pace) and pull the bail system down to open gate.
• To stop spreading simply let go of the bail and the gate will close.

BAFFLE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Adjust baffle by hand to block distribution accordingly.
• Use wing nuts to adjust tension on baffles.

NOTE: To avoid overapplication- using the baffle in the down position will disperse product in greater amounts directly below the deflection point. Adjust the gate setting to apply less than the intended amount when using baffle.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE

• When finished spreading empty hopper of any remaining material.
• Use garden hose to wash down the spreader after each use.
• Be careful not to direct the spray directly onto the gear box.
• It is recommended that you DO NOT use a power washer on your spreader.
• Allow to dry before storing.

To fold down handle:

• Simply remove the bottom two bolts on the handle
• Loosen two M6 Hex nuts and fold down handle
• Replace two bottom bolts
• Tighten M6 Hex nuts completely
