1. Loosen the nylon wing nut, set the adjustable stop to  
the desired flow rate setting and retighten the wing nut.  
The higher the setting number, the wider the opening  
in the bottom of the hopper.  
2. Refer to the application chart on page 5 and to the  
instructions on the fertilizer bag to select the proper  
flow rate setting.  
3. Pull the flow control arm against the adjustable stop  
for the on position and toward the hopper for the off

area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or  
sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.  
9. To insure uniform coverage, make each pass so that the  
broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the pattern from the  
previous pass as shown in figure 8. The approximate  
broadcast widths for different materials are shown in  
the application chart on this page.  
10. When broadcasting weed control fertilizers, make sure  
the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen trees,  
flowers or shrubs.  
11. Heavy moisture conditions may require a cover over  
the hopper to keep contents dry. The vinyl cover acts  
as a wind and moisture shield, but should not be used  
as a rain cover.
