Check material manufacturer’s container for recommended application flow and setting. • Always close the flow control handle before filling the hopper. 2. When no setting is recommended by the material manufacturer, use application flow setting charts in SPECIFICATIONS when spreading grass seed or when material size and desired coverage is known. 3.
