4. ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. HELPFUL HINTS:
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure the FRONT on the gear box
points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must turn clockwise.
Reversing the gear box will cause the impeller to turn counter clockwise.
Clean the impeller plate after each use. Fertilizer stuck on the impeller blades
will cause uneven spreading.
Your spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles per hour, which is a
brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds will change the spread patterns.
Wet fertilizer will also change the spread pattern and flow rate. Clean your
spreader thoroughly after each use. Wash between the shut off plate and
bottom of the hopper.
Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the gear box or
dirt may enter.
2. Remove and identify loose parts from carton and bag.
