SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Always wear safety glasses, a dust mask, and proper clothing to

avoid contact with any chemicals or dangerous materials that are

being applied by this spreader.

2. Always remove any contents that are in the spreader’s hopper

before attaching, detaching, or lifting the unit.

3. Always refer to the load rating for the towing vehicle which

should be located in the vehicle’s owners manual. Make sure

that the weight of the unit plus the weight of the contents in the

hopper do not exceed that of the vehicles recommended load

rating.

4. To avoid damage to this unit and prevent personal injury

NEVER load the hopper heavier than the maximum limit

specified.

5. Stay clear of all moving and spinning parts of this unit.

6. Always follow directions from the package of the material you

are applying with this unit.

7. This unit is not designed to spread sand or gravel. These abrasive

materials can cause premature failure of the unit.

Operating Instructions

1. After assembling unit, attach to the hitch of ATV or lawn tractor.

2. Read and follow directions on the package of the material being

spread by this unit.

3. Fill hopper with desired material to be spread by this unit not

4. Adjust the handle (Ref. #7) on the gauge assembly (Ref. #3) so

that it is at the desired setting. Then tighten the wing nut (Ref. #5)

on the gauge assembly to set the desired opening. This allows the

6. Oil or grease axle/moving parts periodically depending on usage.

7. Always clean and dry entire unit after each use to avoid rust and

corrosion from fertilizers/chemicals used.
