ADJUSTING FLOW CONTROL
1. For proper material flow settings refer to the spreading instructions section.
2. Move the bolt on flow control assembly to the proper setting and tighten.
3. Pushing the spreader forward at a brisk walking speed to ensure consistent coverage of
material.
4. To stop or turning, move the flow control handle to the closed position before stopping or
turning.
CONSISTENT COVERAGE
To insure consistent coverage, make sure each drop pattern slightly overlaps the previous pattern
as shown in the figure.
WARNING
Do not over apply material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product. Over
application will lead to damage and contamination. If spreading material accidentally hits or
deposits to heavily, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning.
CAUTION
The spreader settings are guidelines only. The spreader should be calibrated prior to application to
ensure accuracy.
The spreader settings are based on a walking speed of 3 MPH. Walking faster or slower will alter
the spread application rate. Exact rates depend upon the spreader itself and the accuracy of the
person operating it.
