How To Fix Uneven Salt Pattern On Meyer Walk Behind Spreader
Published 10/06/2025
Question:
My salt pattern looks a little heavier on one side. Is there a way to fix that with the ME63FR?

Hey Lisa, that’s an easy tweak for the Meyer walk behind spreader # ME63FR. Just loosen the two knobs on the discharge chute and move it slightly closer or farther from the impeller (Meyer calls these positions A, B, and C). A small adjustment centers the pattern again. It’s normal to re-check once or twice a season, especially if buildup changes how the salt falls off the impeller.
Do you mainly spread ice melt or fertilizer? I can help you find a good setting for your product type (the instructions also go over all of this stuff).
