Tools Needed

No special tools are needed, but we recommend wearing nitrile gloves or chemical resistant gloves, and wearing long pants during application to protect your skin.

How to Use

• Step 1: Clear lawn of any debris and mow lawn for best results for treating with granular treatment.
• Step 2: Check spreader to ensure it is clean from any previous granular treatments.
• Step 3: Scoop or pour granules into spreader, based on granular products label.
• Step 4: To use spreader, use the hand crank on the right side to spread. To adjust the rate of application, use the trigger on the handle to the desired rate. Apply at the rate recommended based on the label for the granular treatment you are using.

Where to Use

This tool would be used outside when applying granular treatment to your lawn.

When to Use

Use the ScatterBox Hand Spreader when you have a smaller area that requires treatment, such as a small to medium-sized lawn or flower beds. Due to its size, it is generally recommended for smaller treatment areas for the operator's convenience.

Safety Information

Always read the full label of the product being applied with the spreader for proper application rates and safety.

Special Considerations

Before each use, always inspect the spreader to ensure it is clean from prior usage and that it's still in proper working order. You can check this by turning the crank and opening the trigger.
