RATE SETTINGS
Precision spreaders are designed to spread dry, powdered or granulated materials thinly and evenly
over reasonably smooth surfaces.

Ensure that the material is dry and free-running. If in doubt pass it through a sieve with 3mm
mesh to remove lumps.

Set rate-setting dial to No 2.

Fill the hopper approximately 3/4 full.

Push the spreader forward and pull the control lever back to the Stop bolt. If the spread is
uneven or inadequate, close the feed-gate and reset the dial to a higher number.

Always move off BEFORE opening the feed-gate and close the gate BEFORE stopping.
CAUTION
The Spreader settings are guidelines only. Even branded materials may vary in grain size, humidity,
density etc. If in any doubt choose a lower setting than that suggested or start at setting no. 2 and
adjust as necessary, until an even spread is achieved.
WARNING
Do not over apply spreading material. Follow the recommended coverage rate for each product.
Over application will lead to damage and contamination. If spreading material accidentally
deposits too heavily, soak the area thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning.
CONSISTENT COVERAGE
To ensure consistent coverage, ensure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous, as
shown below.
N.B. ALWAYS MOVE OFF BEFORE OPENING FEED-GATE.ALWAYS CLOSE FEED-GATE BEFORE
STOPPING
It is impossible for us to list all manufacturer products and therefore we have listed some popular
brands and suggest you compare the granule size with your own product and apply the same area
spreading rate. If unsure, following the instructions above.
NOTE: DO NOT USE WITH ROCK SALT. Using rock salt in this spreader will damage the mechanism
and shorten the life of the product. Refined ice melting salt can be used but the user should be
aware that this is not a specialised salt spreader and using salt may corrode the spreader and
reduce the life of the machine. Clean the spread thoroughly after using refined de-icing salt.
