Spreader Details
Assembly
Raise the top half of the handle to the upright position and tighten the wing nuts by hand.
Using the EdgeGuard Feature
To activate EdgeGuard feature, slide lever to “On”position, on backside of the spreader.
The EdgeGuard Feature blocks off the right side of the spreader pattern to prevent product from spreading onto non-lawn areas. The EdgeGuard patented design automatically adjusts the flow rate to ensure even application.
Spreader with EdgeGuard in the off position.
Quick Start Instructions
1. Fill hopper with Scotts® lawn product of your choice
2. Turn orange rate dial to correct setting listed in the Spreader Setting section on the back of each package of Scotts product under.“Scotts® Broadcast/Rotary Spreaders”
3. To apply product, begin walking at a steady pace (approx. 4ft./sec.), then squeeze and hold trigger (See diagrams below)
4. When finished, sweep stray particles back onto lawn area. If product lands on any hard surface such as a driveway, sidewalk, or road, sweep the product back onto the lawn to keep it from being washed into the storm sewers and ultimately surface waters
5. Never leave product in the spreader. Pour leftover material back into the package and seal the package tightly After each use, wash thoroughly over the lawn to remove all material clinging to the spreader. Hot water may be required at timesto remove stubborn residue. Allow the spreader to dry thoroughly in the sun. Store your spreader in a clean dry place
Application Tips
For Rectangular Lawns:
Apply two header strips across each end for a turning area. Then apply back and forth in the longest direction
For Irregular-Shaped Lawns:
Apply one header strip around the entire lawn for a turning area, then apply back and forth.
Spreader Overlap:
Using wheel tracks as a guide, make each pass 5 feet from the previous to ensure proper overlap and even lawn coverage. Do not leave spreader open when making turns.
