6.1.  Priortollingthehopperwithsalt/grit,ensurethehopperscreen(49)isinsitu.Thiswillgradethesalt/gritpassingthroughtothe 

throat plate and help prevent possible clogging.

6.2.  Usethestoponthegaugetoensurethesameamountofdistribution(g.12).

6.3.  Seegs.10&11forsuggestedwalkingpatternsdependingonthelevelofcoverageyourequire.

6.4.  Alwaysstartwalkingpriortoopeningtheowcontrollever.

6.5.  Everytimeyouarereadytostop,orturntomakeanewpass,closetheowcontrollevertostopdispensingthematerialand 

continue one more stride. This reduces waste with over saturated product coverage. Ensure the stop bolt continues to register

the spreader setting from table "B". Remembertostartwalkingpriortoopeningtheowcontrollever.

6.6. To ensure consistent coverage, make sure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous one.

6.7.  Makesurethatanybroadcastmaterialdoesnotcomeintocontactwithtrees,shrubsandowersthatcouldbeharmedbythe 

material.

6.8. Clean the spreader thoroughly after each use paying particular attention to the throat plate and the bottom of the hopper.

6.9.  CALCULATINGTHEAMOUNTOFMATERIALNEEDED.(refertoCharts'A'&'B')

6.10. The spreader is designed to be pushed at three miles an hour, which is a brisk walking pace. Slower or faster speeds will change

 thespreadpattern.Wetsalt/gritwillalsochangethespreadpattern.Seeg.13formediaagitator;promotingow.

6.11. To calculate the amount of salt/grit needed, divide the coverage stated on the packaging by the weight of the bag.

6.12. For example, a 10lb bag of salt/grit with a coverage of 10,000 sq.ft. will distribute 1lb of salt/grit every 1,000 sq.ft. at full rate or

1/2lb. of salt/grit every 1,000 sq.ft. at half rate.

6.13. For pre-calculated rates see Chart'A' (Example: A 25lb bag with a 15,000 sq.ft. coverage requires 1.7lb of media per 1,000 sq.ft.

6.14. Use Chart'B'tondtheclosestspreadersetting.Forexample,1.7lbper1000sq.ft.=spreadersetting6)

6.15. Use both charts as a guide only; experience will replace necessity to use the charts but they will be a good reference point.

7. MAINTENANCE

7.1. After each use clean material out of hopper.

7.2. Rinse/dry inside and outside of spreader after each use.

7.3.  Beforeoperatingmakesurethatthetyresareinatedtothecorrectpressurei.e.25psimaximum.

7.4. Periodically check all fastenings are tight.

7.5. Check the condition of the "media agitator" (12) "R" pin, after continued use. Replace if required.

7.6. Annually clean and lightly lubricate cable.

7.7. To avoid damaging the spreader never exceed the rated load capacity of 37kg.

7.8.  Usetheraincover(48)whennecessary.Avoidusingthespreaderwhenraining,unlessessential.

7.9.  Beforestoringensurethatthespreaderiscleananddry;ttheraincover.

7.10. Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather and in the winter months.

NOTE: DO NOT allow material to stay in the hopper for extended periods of time.
