  • Page 18: Rate Settings

    RATE SETTINGS Our spreaders are designed to spread dry, powdered or granulated materials thinly and evenly over reasonably smooth surfaces. Due to the many hundreds of different materials which can be used with this spreader, it is impossible to list them all and the relevant spreader setting for the material. We therefore recommend that you test the spread pattern on a hard surface (driveway etc), before passing over the area to be treated.
  • Page 19 MAINTENANCE LUBRICATE Maintenance spray or multi-purpose grease can be applied to the wheel axle prior to long-term storage. Oiling is not necessary. GEARBOX DO NOT open the gearbox. The gears are permanently lubricated from the factory and do not need lubricating. CHECK TYRE INFLATION Prior to using the spreader, ensure the tyres are sufficiently inflated.
