5.0 OPERATING THE EASY SPREAD
Figure 9
Operating the Easy Spread is divided in two parts, namely the operation of the bucket and
the operation of the gritting cylinder.
Make sure that the two hydraulic hoses of each part are attached to a double-acting valve on
the tractor.
5.1 OPERATING THE EASY SPREAD TIPPING BUCKET
The Easy Spread bucket can be tipped to 90
to scoop gritting material. Tipping of the bucket
can be regulated on the tractor after the hydraulic hoses have been attached to the tractor.
5.2 OPERATING THE GRITTING CYLINDER / AGITATOR &
DOSE LID
The hydraulic hoses for operating the gritting cylinder / agitator and dose lid should be
attached to the other double-acting valve. The direction of the volume flow from the tractor
makes the gritting cylinder/agitator turn and subsequently opens the dose lid. If the direction
is reversed, the gritting cylinder/agitator will stop turning and the dose lid will close.
The speed of the gritting cylinder/agitator can be adjusted with a regulating valve (1)
(figure 9).

The opening of the dose lid can be adjusted by turning the stop bolts (2) on the bucket so
that the dose lid is opened as desired. Use indication strip for comparison.
