Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your fertilizer spreader.

3.1 Filling the Hopper

  • Ensure the flow control lever is in the closed position to prevent material from spilling.
  • Fill the hopper with your desired material (fertilizer, grass seed, salt, or ice melt). Do not exceed the 33 lbs weight capacity or 0.53 cubic feet volume capacity.

3.2 Adjusting Spread Rate

The spreader features a multi-gear operation and a precision control dial to adjust the flow rate of the material. This allows for accurate application based on the material type and desired coverage.

  • Locate the control dial on the handle.
  • Rotate the dial to the desired setting. Higher numbers typically indicate a larger opening and faster material flow. Consult the material packaging for recommended spreader settings.
