Do not use the spreader to transport
people.
Wear sturdy footwear and protective goggles when working with the

Before using the spreader for the first
time, ensure that you are completely
familiar with the functions of the
towing vehicle.
The towing vehicle performs differently
when it is pulling a load.
– Do not drive too close to ditches or
other obstacles.
– Do not drive on steep inclines.

Using the spreader for its
intended purpose
The spreader should only be
used in the manner described in
these operating instructions and in
observance of the corresponding
safety information.
The spreader can only be operated in
conjunction with a suitably motorised
towing vehicle. The braking and
towing capacities of the towing vehicle
must be capable of handling the extra
load.
The spreader is not intended for use
on public paths or highways.
Operating procedure,
adjustments
Adjusting the spreading rate
– Estimate area to be treated.
Calculate the amount of material
to be distributed according to the
details on the packaging for the
spreading material.
– Set the spreader lever to OFF and
pour the product to be spread into
the hopper.
Notes on the substance to be used:
– Do not use powdered lime. Only use
granular products.
– Break up any clumps in the hopper.
– Determine the spreading rate
Substance Form
Fertiliser Granular
Pelleted
Grass seed Fine
Coarse
De-icing agent
according to the following table.
Notes on figures in table:
The higher the number on the
adjustment scale, the larger the
opening in the base of the hopper.
The spreading rate depends upon
atmospheric humidity and the
moisture content of the substance to
be spread. It may be necessary to
adjust the minimum volumes shown in
the table to compensate for moisture.
The speed at which the spreader
travels affects the density of product
spread over a given area as well as
the width of the path covered.
– Loosen the Wing nut, set the
required spreading rate and then
9
tighten the Wing nut again.
Spreading procedure
– Set the spreader in motion first,
before moving the spreader lever to
the ON position.
– Always move this lever to OFF
before the spreader comes to a
standstill.
Note:
In order to achieve complete coverage
of the area over which spreading is
carried out, maintain a distance of 2 to
2.5 m between the lines along which
the spreader travels.
