Ensure the Flow Control Lever is pushed downwards and the apertures in the base of the
Hopper are closed before filling the Hopper with the spreading material.
We recommend Glasdon Icemelt or other dry granular material. Do not use damp or
wet grit/salt and do not overload the hopper (maximum capacity approximately 25kg).
To operate the spreader, pull the Flow Control Lever upwards and push the spreader
forward. The recommended operating speed is approximately 3mph, that of a brisk
walk. The spinner plate speed and spread width are controlled by the speed at which
you push the spreader.
OPERATION:
• Do not overfill the hopper.
• Break up any lumps as you fill the hopper.
• Do not fill the hopper and transport over long distances.
•
Fill the hopper at the operating location just prior to use.
OPERATING TIPS:
MAINTENANCE:
• To maximise the life of your spreader and to ensure it performs when you need it,
please maintain your spreader regularly.
• Never allow your spreading material to remain in the hopper for extended periods
of time - salt is hygroscopic, it will absorb moisture in the air and can set hard like
concrete!
• Periodically check all fixtures and fittings for tightness.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of the spreader after each use.
• Move the Flow Control Lever and Spinner Plate as you rinse to avoid build up of
material.
• Spray with maintenance spray (e.g. WD40) which will drive out highly corrosive
saltwater from the working parts and metal surfaces and will protect and lubricate.
