Wash thoroughly after each use. If the crank handle spins freely while applying product, the small gear has been miss aligned. This can occur when spreading heavy weight fertilizers. You can loosen the Phillips head screws, slide the gear close to the larger gear and tighten. Setting adjustment: On the left side, loosen the wing nut, slide the wire guide & lever to the desired position then tighten the wing nut. Pull the lever back until it locks.
Walk at a normal pace, with the spreader in a level position, while turning the crank at a steady speed.
Instructions
When choosing to start a new lawn, remove old vegetation by using a de-thatcher, power rake or tiller to kill the existing vegetation. Rake or drag the area to remove debris and dead grass for a clean area. Ensure the soil is leveled and loosened to allow the seed to have good soil contact once spread on a clean seed bed.
If you have an area with heavy weed coverage, we recommend starting fresh by killing and removing the existing vegetation. If you choose to use chemicals, herbicides or fertilizers, you must check with the product's manufacturer prior to planting new seed to ensure the proper waiting period.
When overseeding an existing area, mow your lawn at the lowest setting and bag the clippingsx. Rake or drag any areas that have dead thatch or debris.
