Adjustments
1.
Always check the delivery rate before using the spreader. Some materials can damage the surface
if they are spread at a faster rate than recommended by the manufacturer.
2.
To estimate the correct setting, weigh up the volume specified by the manufacturer for 100 m
2
. Put
the weighed material in the hopper. Measure up and mark out an area of 100 m
2
(e.g. 10 x 10 m, 8
x 12.5 m or 4 x 25 m). Spread the material over the marked out area and check how much material
is left in the hopper. Adjust the setting as necessary. With the correct setting all the material will be
used up when the area has been treated.
Setting
1.
Turn the adjuster knob so that the required setting is shown with the arrow in the display window.
Position 1 gives the minimum flow rate, position 10 gives the largest flow rate.
2.
Push the spreader in front of you and move the lever to open position.
IMPORTANT:
Some materials can damage the surface if overdosed. Do not stop, and do not pull the
spreader backwards with the lever in open position.
