| How to Use
Check the package of the product you’re using for the
specified rate setting. Rotate the inner micrometer
until the correct setting appears in the micrometer
window. Fill the hopper on sidewalk or driveway (never
on the lawn) and move to starting point on lawn.
Pull the lever until it stops against the handle
grip and start walking to initiate spreading. Release
the lever to stop material flow. To avoid
over-application that may cause streaking or damage to
the lawn, always start the spreader in motion before
turning it on, unless the product label directs
otherwise.
Operate the spreader the longest direction of the
lawn. First apply two header strips across each end to
provide turning space. Go back and forth between the
ends, being sure to overlap the spreader’s wheel
tracks slightly so no strips are missed. Shut off the
spreader when approaching header or trees. Turn
spreader off before coming to a complete stop. Keep
the spreader off while backing or turning to avoid
waste and possible lawn injury from over-application.
If there are trees in the lawn, shut off spreader just
before getting to the trunk of the tree, start
spreader in motion on other side of tree, then turn it
on and continue with spreading pattern. |
