Troubleshooting

Spreader is not dispensing material.

Check if the spreader-gate is open. Ensure the feed control is set correctly. Check for any blockages in the hopper or dispensing mechanism. Make sure the material is dry and free-flowing.

Uneven distribution of material.

Ensure you are walking at a consistent pace. Check that the spreader is level. Recalibrate the feed control to the recommended setting for your material. Avoid turning sharply while spreading.

Wheels are not turning smoothly.

Check the wheels for any obstructions. Lubricate the wheel axles if necessary. Ensure the wheels are properly attached and secured.
