the Hopper (ITEM 23).
Ensure 6mm Washer (ITEM 33 - 2off) and
M6 Nut (ITEM 32 - 2off) are positioned
on either side of the Flow Control Plate
when securing the assembly in position.

Before use, push the Lever (ITEM 22) downwards to
close the apertures in the base of the Hopper (ITEM
23) and pull the Lever upwards to open the apertures.
If the apertures in the base of the Hopper do not align
with the apertures in the Flow Control Plate (ITEM 26),
adjust the position of the two nuts along the threaded
Control Rod (ITEM 25) - See drawings in Diagram H.
Once the apertures are aligned, fully tighten both
nuts. To limit the size of the open apertures when
operating the Lever, move the position of the Wing

Ensure the Flow Control Lever is pushed downwards and the apertures in the base of the
Hopper are closed before lling the Hopper with the spreading material.
We recommend Glasdon Icemelt or other dry granular material. Do not use damp or
wet grit/salt and do not overload the hopper (maximum capacity approximately 25kg).
To operate the spreader, pull the Flow Control Lever upwards and push the spreader
forward. The recommended operating speed is approximately 3mph, that of a brisk
walk. The spinner plate speed and spread width are controlled by the speed at which
you push the spreader.
OPERATION:
• Do not overll the hopper.
• Break up any lumps as you ll the hopper.
• Do not ll the hopper and transport over long distances.
• Fill the hopper at the operating location just prior to use.
OPERATING TIPS:
MAINTENANCE:
• To maximise the life of your spreader and to ensure it performs when you need it,
please maintain your spreader regularly.
• Never allow your spreading material to remain in the hopper for extended periods
of time - salt is hygroscopic, it will absorb moisture in the air and can set hard like
concrete!
• Periodically check all xtures and ttings for tightness.
• Rinse/dry inside and outside of the spreader after each use.
• Move the Flow Control Lever and Spinner Plate as you rinse to avoid build up of
material.
• Spray with maintenance spray (e.g. WD40) which will drive out highly corrosive
saltwater from the working parts and metal surfaces and will protect and lubricate.
