SPREADING AT ONE-HALF RATE DIAL SETTINGS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED UNDER DAMP & HUMID CONDITIONS. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION OF THE SPREADER BEFORE YOU PUT MATERIAL IN THE HOPPER. Practice walking with the spreader, opening and closing the rate gate at the appropriate times. Travel at a constant speed and operate the spreader lever position. Remember: Open the rate gate after the spreader is in motion at operating speed (about 3 mph. , or at a brisk walking pace). Close the rate gate while spreader is still at operational speed. Now You are Ready to Spread · Spread header strips at the ends of the area OPPOSITE the direction of spreading. This will provide a "turn-around" area, an area to realign the spreader for the return spread. wide spread: Make the first spreading pass at one-half the spread width from the edge of the spreading area or in this case approximately 3 feet or one big step. · Additional spreading passes will be at the full spread width or approximately 6 feet apart. · TAKE A SIGHTING AT THE FAR END. Keep Header your eye on the sighting as you spread. You will not need to wonder where you are or where you have been. · Left over fertilizer can be spread under trees and other high feeding areas without showing "edge of spread" lines.

Note: Good "Dry Cleaning" is preferable to poor "Wet Cleaning". VARIABLES in product, weather, spreading equipment, spreader operator, etc. , and combinations of variable elements produce VARIABLES in the spread pattern. · VARIABLES include product size, weight, shape, surface finish, hygroscopic or non hygroscopic composition, condition of product (exposure to humidity, temperature, etc. ) · VARIABLES include spreading rate (light, medium, heavy). · VARIABLES include size, shape, design of spreading spinner. · VARIABLES include product dispensing on spreading spinner.
