remove stubborn residue.

Application Tips
For Rectangular Lawns:
Apply two header strips across
each end for a turning area. Then
apply back and forth in the longest
direction.
For Irregular-Shaped Lawns:
Spreader Overlap:
Apply one header strip around the
entire lawn for a turning area, then
apply back and forth.
Using wheel tracks as a guide, make
each pass 5 feet from the previous to
ensure proper overlap and even lawn
coverage. Do not leave spreader
open when making turns.
