8.4 Spreading grit or granular fertiliser
When spreading of grit or granular fertiliser, observe the following:

Open the metering slide so far that the agitator is able to eject the grit or gran-
ular fertiliser without obstructions.
At temperatures below 0 °C, wet spreading material may freeze in the hopper and
damage the agitator.

Ensure that the spreading material cannot freeze in the hopper.

Do not leave filled machines outside over night.

Keep spreading materials dry.
8.5 Spreading sand, salt or sand-salt mixtures
For spreading sand, salt or a sand-salt mixture, observe the following:
 Open the metering slide so far that the agitator is able to eject the spreading
material without obstructions.

Due to the hygroscopic effect of salt, only use the machine with a hopper cover.

Avoid long storage of salt in the hopper.
8.6 Discharging residual material
1. Move the spreading width limiter plates completely upwards.
2. Place a sufficiently dimensioned container to collect the spreading material
residues in front of the machine.
3. Tilt the machine until the residual spreading material comes out at the top of
the hopper.
NOTICE
Cleaning after each use of the machine prevents deposits at the bottom of the
hopper. You thereby reduce the wear of the agitator fingers and increase the op-
erational safety of your machine.
