GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure gate control is in the closed position (do not hold bail down when filling ).
Determine appropriate setting for material being used by reading the suggested setting on the material’s bag AND/OR by referencing the application chart on your spreader’s control panel (Charts provided are only guidelines.
