Spreading Tips:
•
To ensure uniform application, overlap the grass seed distribution. The highest amount of seed dispenses
from the front of the hopper and less from each side. Adjust the distribution pattern to achieve the desired
results.
•
Watch for changes in the distribution pattern; unequal distribution may lead to striping.
1. Narrow distribution-side deflector lowered
2. Forward
3. Effective spreading width—variable 1.2 to 6.7 m (4 to 22 ft)
4. Do not spread when turning 180 degrees
