1. Intended use
The spreader is to be used exclusively for spreading granules.
If your spreader does not distribute the granules evenly, make sure that the
front of the gearbox points to the front of the spreader. The impeller must
turn clockwise. Reversing the gear will cause the impeller to rotate
counterclockwise. Clean the paddlewheel after each use, residues on the
bucket wheel cause uneven distribution.
Your spreader is designed to give the best spreading results when pushed at
5 km/h (fast walking). Slower or faster speeds will change your spreading
pattern. Moist grit or granulate changes the flow velocity and the spreader's
spreading pattern. Clean your spreader thoroughly after each use. Gears are
already lubricated at the factory.
