5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Loading Material

• Place the spreader on a flat, stable surface.
• Ensure the drum wheel is lifted off the ground by tilting the handle back slightly to prevent accidental spreading.
• Load the desired material (compost, peat moss, organic fertilizer) into the hopper. Do not exceed the 120 lbs load capacity.
• If using the metal pallet for bulky bags, ensure bags are hung on the sides of the hopper, not leaned against the front or rear baffles to prevent tipping.

5.2 Adjusting Flow Rate

• Locate the flow adjustment port below the hopper.
• Adjust the port to control the spreading rate based on the material consistency and desired coverage.
• Test the flow rate in a small area before widespread application.

5.3 Spreading Material

• Push the spreader forward. As the wheels turn, they drive the internal rotating blades, which agitate the material and ensure even distribution through the mesh basket.
• The spreader is designed to prevent clogging, even with slab-shaped or flocculent organic fertilizers.
• To stop spreading, press down lightly on the handle to lift the drum wheel off the ground. The spreader will then move on its two fixed rear wheels without dispensing material, allowing for area transition.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your spreader.

• Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the hopper, rotating blades, and mesh basket to prevent material buildup and corrosion.
• Storage: Always store the spreader empty in a dry, covered area. The specialized surface treatment helps guard against rust, but proper storage is crucial.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all nuts, bolts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Replace any worn or damaged components.
• Lubrication: Lubricate moving parts, such as wheel axles and chain mechanisms, as needed to ensure smooth operation.
