Bruksanvisning
Choosing the Right Fertilizer:
Selecting the correct type of fertilizer is crucial for lawn health. Different lawns have varying needs based on grass type, soil conditions, and climate. Consult local gardening resources or product labels to determine the best fertilizer for your specific lawn.
This video, titled "Lawn 101: Fertilizer," provides general information on fertilizing lawns, including when to fertilize, types of fertilizer, and different spreader types. While not specific to the Scotts Handy Green II, it offers valuable context for its use.
Adjusting Spreader Settings:
Most granular products provide recommended spreader settings on their packaging. Locate the setting dial on your Scotts Handy Green II spreader and adjust it according to the product's instructions. This ensures the correct application rate for optimal results.
Spreading Technique:
- Hold the spreader comfortably with one hand on the handle and the other on the crank.
- Begin walking at a steady pace. As you walk, start cranking the handle to activate the spreading mechanism.
- Maintain a consistent cranking speed and walking pace to ensure an even distribution of material.
- Overlap each pass slightly to avoid missed spots and ensure uniform coverage.
- When you reach the end of a pass or need to stop, cease cranking and close the flow control to prevent material from dumping in one spot.

Watering After Application:
After applying fertilizer, it is often recommended to water the treated area. Watering helps to wash the granular product off grass blades and into the soil, where it can be absorbed by the roots. Refer to the product packaging for specific watering instructions.
Vedlikehold
Rengjøring:
- After each use, empty any remaining material from the hopper.
- Rinse the spreader thoroughly with water, especially the hopper and spreading mechanism, to remove any chemical residue.
- Allow the spreader to air dry completely before storage to prevent rust and corrosion.
Lagring:
- Store the clean, dry spreader in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Oppbevar den utilgjengelig for barn og kjæledyr.
