Storage
Storing Spreader
Placing into Storage
1. Thoroughly clean spreader before storing.
2. Apply touchup paint to scratches to prevent rust.
3. Inflate tires to 30 psi (2 bar) (207 kPa) maximum.
4. Store spreader in an out-of-the-way place. Spreader can be hung by the
handle to remove weight from tires/wheels. Do not use spreader as a
shelf. Placing weight on spreader can distort tires/wheels over a period of
time.
Removing from Storage
1. Inflate tires to 30 psi (2 bar) (207 kPa) maximum.
Operating
Before Operating the Spreader
1. Inflate tires to 30 psi (2 bar) (207 kPa) maximum.
2. Be sure controls operate smoothly and spreader wheels turn freely.
3. Install screen in hopper.
4. Before filling hopper, practice spreading. Become accustomed to
operating the flow control handle while spreader is in motion.
IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Only use a wrench on the lower nut.
Do not use wrench on the upper nut.

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Never leave fertilizer in the hopper.
Fertilizer draws moisture, forms clumps, causes unnecessary
rusting and deterioration of spreader, and may jam controls and
other moving parts. Ice melt residue is especially corrosive. Clean
and oil spreader immediately after each use.
