Ensure that the towball on the vehicle is compatible with the spreader.
The spreader is designed to accept a 1-7/8” diameter towball.
2.
Check the operation of all controls.
3.
Check the tyre pressure (10psi minimum - 25psi maximum, dependant
on load size).
4.
Check the condition of the tyres. Look for signs of wear, cuts and impact
damage.
5.
Check the free operation of the shutter lever.
6.
Check the condition of the hopper and lid.

Check the gearbox for oil leaks, if an oil leak is evident do not use the
spreader and carry out repairs immediately.

Operating
1.
Before filling the hopper, set the flow from the hopper to the desired

2.
Place the shutter lever (A) in the zero position and fill the hopper with the
material to be spread.

IN
position and re-lock the D pin to engage the drive. Obtain desired
