WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF ANY POWDERED LAWN CHEMICALS, DUE TO DIFFICULTY
IN OBTAINING A SATISFACTORY OR CONSISTENT BROADCAST PATTERN.
APPLICATION RATES SHOWN IN THE CHART (TABLE 3, P. 20) ARE AFFECTED BY HUMIDITY AND BY
THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE MATERIAL (GRANULAR AND PELLET). SOME MINOR SETTING
ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NECESSARY TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS CONDITION.
Using Your DR Power Spreader
1. Determine approximate square footage of area to be covered and estimate amount of material required.
2. Verify that the Spreader Motor turns on and off and that the flow control is operating properly.
3. Make sure the Flow Control Lever is in the “OFF” position.
4. Set the Adjustable Stop to the desired flow rate, keeping the Flow Control Lever in the “OFF” position. Refer to the application chart (Table 3) and the instructions on the Material Package to determine the proper flow rate setting. The application chart is calculated for a vehicle speed of 3 mph (100 ft. in 23 seconds). Faster speeds require higher flow rate settings to maintain the same application rate.

8. 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 (Figure 3 2).
9. If fertilizer is accidentally deposited too heavily in a area, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hos n e or sprinkler to prevent burning of the lawn.
Removing the DR Power Spreader
1. Disconnect the Wire Harness Connector from the
Motor Mount Assembly Connector. Remove the Flow
