Before Starting The Equipment; Operation - EINHELL GE-US 18 Li Original Operating Instructions

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1. Fitting the battery
Press the side pushlock button (c) of the battery
pack as shown in Fig. (2) and push the battery
pack into the mount provided. When the battery
is positioned as in Fig. 2, make sure that the

6. Operation

6.1 Recommended spreading settings
(Fig. 4/Item 1)
Each spreader material is supplied with
instructions on how many grams per square
meter are to be spread. Set a low fl ow rate for
smaller quantities and increase the fl ow rate for
larger quantities.
The following settings are recommended:
Setting 1+2: Fine grass seeds
Setting 3+4: Light fertilizer
Setting 5+6: Heavy fertilizer
Setting 7+8: Pearled fertilizer or de-icer
Note:
Numerous variable factors (such as walking
speed, working height, motor speed etc.) do not
allow a specifi c recommendation of the spreading
setting. Rather, the optimal setting must be
determined by the user when starting with the
work.
6.2 Spreading (Fig. 4-6)
Note:
The ON/OFF switch (2) activates the opening for
the spreader material (9) as well as the spreader
wheel (4).
Set the speed of the spreader wheel (4) with
the speed controller (6) (1= lowest / 6= highest
speed). Use the mechanical spreading width
controller (5) to infl uence the spreading width
on the left-hand side. Holding the universal
spreader in front of you so that the material can
be spread unhindered, walk at a normal pace
over the surface over which you want to spread
the material.
1. Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (2) is not
activated and that the infi nitely adjustable
speed controller (6) is set to position "1".
2. Place the spreader on a paved surface and fi ll
spreading material into the spreading material
EN
compartment (3).
3. Set the setting recommended for the relevant
spreading material using the spreading
quantity adjustment (1).
4. Set the required spreading width using the
speed controller (6) and the mechanical
spreading width controller (5).
5. Actuate the ON/OFF switch (2).
6. After carrying out work on a small area, adjust
the settings if necessary.
Note: If the slide of the spreader material opening
(Fig. 5/Item 9) gets jammed, press the On/Off
switch (Fig. 4/Item 2) several times to unjam it.
6.3 Charging the Li battery pack
The corresponding instructions can be found
in the original operating instructions for your
charger.
6.4 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 3)
Press the battery capacity indicator switch (7).
The battery capacity indicator (8) shows the
charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs lit:
