6.2 EXTENDED REACH SPREADER TIPS
The AMK-30CRT spreaders have removable tips. AMK-30CX spreaders don’t have removable tips, but they are upgradable. To
remove the spreader tip, use a thumb and fi nger to depress the spring loaded tip pins, and remove the tips. To re-install the spreader
tip, slide the tip back into place. Be sure that both pins return fully to their original positions.
The reach and versatility of the spreader can be increased by using the Extended Reach Tips (ERT). ERT tips are interchangeable
with the standard tips.
