1 General information
The Salt and Sand Spreader was designed especially
for the Egholm 2100. It will ensure winter maintenance
by use of salt, sand, gravel and grit.
The Salt and Sand Spreader can ideally be combined
with the Dozer Blade, the Snow Blower and the Snow
Sweeper. In that way the driver is enabled to remove
snow and spread salt at one go and thereby provide a
safe route for the motorists and pedestrians.
A special designed roller stand enables the one person
to safely mount or dismount the spreader. (Picture 1)
The Salt and Sand Spreader features a stainless steel
hopper and a built-in air scoop, supplying the cooler
with fresh air and thereby also protecting the engine of
the basic unit from the fine salt particles.
The construction features only robust components. The
new deflector plate with high wear resistance handles
salt, sand and gravel. (Pictures 2 and 3)

The rear protective guard must always remain in its
holders except during cleaning (see section 3.1).
Before removing the guard, always stop the machine
and detach the hydraulic hoses to the Salt and Sand
Spreader. Be very careful - there are hot hydraulic
parts, a rotating feed screw as well as a rotating
deflector plate behind the guard.

2.4 Adjustment
AAmmoouunnttsspprreeaadd::
To adjust the amount spread, turn the front knob on
the left-hand side of the spreader. (Picture 1)
Turn the knob clockwise to reduce the amount spread
per m2.
Turn the knob counter-clockwise to increase the
amount spread per m2.
For additional details about spread settings, see the
enclosed spreading chart.
SSpprreeaaddwwiiddtthh::
Spread width is the width of material spread by the
spreader. The material will be spread in a semicircular
pattern with equal amounts spread on either side of the
basic unit.
To adjust the spread width, turn the rear knob. The
spread width is adjustable from 1 to 5 m. (Picture 2)
Turn the knob clockwise to decrease and counter-
clockwise to increase the spread width.
For additional details about spread settings, see the
enclosed spreading chart.
SSpprreeaaddppaatttteerrnn::
The spread pattern refers to the way the material is
spread on the ground, when the basic unit is not
moving. Let the basic unit stand still for a few seconds
and the spread pattern will be visible on the ground. To
achieve an even spread pattern, turn the adjusting
knob on the back of the Salt and Sand Spreader.
(Picture 3) This will alter the spread pattern.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the amount spre-
ad to the left.
Turn the knob counter-clockwise to increase the
amount spread to the right.
For additional details about spread settings, see the
enclosed spreading chart.
