WARNING

WARNING: IMPROPER USE OR FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN PRODUCT FAILURE OR INJURIES. FOR SAFE USE OF THIS PRODUCT YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Do not allow anyone to operate the broadcast spreader without proper instructions. Do not permit children to operate the broadcast spreader. Wear protective eyewear and gloves when handling and applying lawn and garden chemicals. Read the chemical label instructions and warnings for handling and applying the chemicals you plan to spread - application settings provided are only a guideline.

Auger is designed to work in forward motion. Excessive reverse motion could cause binding. If resistance is felt while pulling spreader backwards, stop and clear salt from auger.

AUGER ASSEMBLY

FLAT AUGER ASSEMBLY

Thread auger clockwise onto impeller shaft. Screw auger retaining nut into auger hole with M6 socket driver. Tighten completely with wrench to secure.

Choose flat auger for general turf applications.

Fertilizers
- Herbicides
- Pesticides
- Grass Seed
- Free-Flowing Material

SPIKED AUGER ASSEMBLY

Thread auger clockwise onto impeller shaft. Insert auger nut. Tighten with 10 mm wrench. Do not over tighten.

Choose spiked auger for use with dense materials that have a tendency to clump or have a higher moisture content.

• Ice Melt-Calcium Chloride
• Lawn Mineral Supplement

CAUTION: This spreader is NOT recommended for use with rock salt.

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. Consult fertilizer/seed manufacture's coverage information.

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
