SERVICE
Operational Tips
• Always operate your spreader with the speed limit for which it was
designed - 3 mph.
• When backing, carefully back straight to avoid jack knifing, which could
result in damage to equipment.
• Only tow your spreader behind vehicles for which it was designed -
riders, and lawn and garden tractors.
• Do not load the hopper with more than the maximum weight capacity of
79 kg (175 lb).
• When spreading ice melters, pin both wheel hubs for better traction.
• When spreading seed, fertilizer, etc., insert only one spring locking pin in
either the right or left wheel hub.
• Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
• Do not use on windy days, especially when spreading fine grass seed or
herbicides.
• Optimum hitch height is 18 - 23 cm (7- 9 in.).

Maintenance Tips
• The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your spreader clean
and dry.
• Never allow material to remain in hopper for extended periods of time.
• Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with enamel.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use. Move flow
control as you rinse, to avoid build up of material.
