8.0 ACCESSORIES
8.1 EXTENDED REACH SPREADER TIPS (ERT)
The spreaders use removable tips. To remove the spreader tip, use a thumb and finger to depress the spring loaded tip pins, and
remove the tips. To re-install the spreader tip, slide the tip back into place. Be sure that both pins return fully to their original positions.
The reach and versatility of the spreader can be increased by using the Extended Reach Tips (ERT). ERT tips are interchangeable with
the standard tips.
