6. Where appropriate, apply header

strips around the area to be treated,
then push the spreader at a walking
speed about 2 1/2 mph (18 feet in
five seconds). To decrease the
spread width in confined areas,
reduce walking speed. Space your
trips across the area as shown in
Figure 10.

7. When transporting the spreader,

make sure the control knob is
pushed in and locked.

8. Empty the spreader after each use,

and return leftover material to its
original container.

■ Never store unused material in the

spreader. Return unused material
to its original container.

■ Wash the spreader thoroughly after

each use. See Figure 12. Remove
the gear cover and wash the gears
thoroughly. Then dry completely in
the sun or a heated area.

■ Lubrication

■ Gear mesh should be checked

regularly, especially during high-
use periods. The clearance between
the axle gear and the pinion gear
should be very close, but not tight.
If adjustment is required:

■ Periodically clean the surface of the

impeller to remove buildup of
material. A buildup could cause the
spread pattern to change.

■ Maintain tire pressure at 20–25 psi.
