Maintenance; Storage - The Handy THS125HDUTY Instruction Manual

CAUTION
The rate 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.
CAUTION
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.

MAINTENANCE

•
After each use, clean material out of hopper and off the impeller.
•
Rinse/dry inside and outside of the spreader after each use.
•
Before operating make sure the tyres have the RECOMMENDED TYRE PRESSURE OF 20 PSI. We
recommend the use of FOOT or HAND inflation devices only. Do not use electric or mechanical
inflation devices.
•
This is a garden/domestic product, therefore extended use over abrasive surfaces (e.g. concrete,
tarmac etc.) could cause premature wear on the tyres.
•
Periodically check all nuts & bolts for tightness.
•
Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts with maintenance spray or multi-purpose grease.
•
Use a glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or worn painted metal surfaces.
•
Never exceed load capacity rating of 125lbs it will damage the spreader.
IMPORTANT:
If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer's specifications.
Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation.

STORAGE

•
Never allow material to remain in the hopper for extended periods of time.
•
Before storing make sure the spreader is clean and dry for years of trouble free service.
•
Store indoors or protected area during severe weather and winter months.
