6. Engage the tractor in the correct gear.
7. Lower the Easy Spread to the ground in a smooth movement.
8. Start driving the tractor and operate the hydraulic valve of the gritting cylinder/agitator so
that it begins to grit.
9. Accelerate the driving speed until you achieve the desired gritting result.

that should be processed.
Stopping occurs as follows:
1. Operate the hydraulic valve so the gritting stops and the dose lid closes.
2. Stop the tractor.
3. Lift the Easy Spread.
4. Go to the next location and start all over again as described in this chapter.
10.0 TRANSPORTING THE EASY SPREAD
The user is responsible for transporting the Easy Spread in back of the tractor on public
roads. Verify the national legislation regarding the regulations.
On open fields while the machine is raised, the maximum permitted speed is 12 km/h (7.5
mph) due to the weight of the Easy Spread.
A higher speed can be dangerous for the driver and/or the public and can even damage the
machine.
When the machine is raised off the ground, the front axle of the tractor has to
support minimum 20% of its weight!
