INTENDED PURPOSE AND WORKING PRINCIPLE
The attachment must be used only for the purposes indicated herein.
Area of application
The salt spreaders are designed attaching to a tractors 3 point hitch. The PTO shaft is
connected to the tractor’s PTO system. The salt spreaders work can be controlled from the
tractor’s cab. The area of operation should be clear of persons while the attachment is in
use.
LED lights, PVC cover and extension set are available as extras.
Operating principle
The attachment is mounted to the tractor’s coupling device (adaptor). For all types, the salt
is spread using a spreading roller rotated by the PTO shaft. The amount of salt can be
adjusted by driving speed / PTO speed.
The spreading roller must rotate according to arrow direction.
Equipment
Always use original parts.
SAFETY INSTRUCTION
READ BEFORE OPERATION!
These are general safety instructions. Any other relevant occupational safety instructions,
traffic rules and generally applicable regulations must also be respected when using the salt
spreader. These instructions do not relieve the tractor driver from the obligation to respect
statutory and other traffic safety and occupational safety regulations. The operator must
comply with safety instructions for various operating sites and any rules based on traffic
regulations. The design of tractors already takes account of the safety regulations for
tractor’s established by the occupational safety authority. The following is an overview of

general aspects related to safety and use of the salt spreader which the operator should take
into account.
Carefully inspect the attachment, its couplings and controls and read the relevant
instructions before use.
Operator
The attachment may be used only by a person who has read this Operator’s manual and is
familiar with using the attachment. The operator’s health condition must be normal; the
attachment must not be used while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Respect the
requirements to the operator of the base machine.
Working place
Operator’s working place, while the attachment is in operation, is the cab of the base
machine. All persons must be clear of the salt spreader while it is in operation.
The working area must have sufficient lighting (ambient lighting / lighting of the base
machine).
The salt spreader is an attachment for use by a single operator. The operator must ensure
that other persons stay clear of the attachment while it is in operation.
Never go under the attachment, regardless of whether it is in operation or not!
Before use:
 Read the Manual
 Inspect the attachment
 Check that the fixings of the attachment are properly attached to those of the base
machine
 Check the greasing of the attachment
 Read and respect the safety instructions
 Check whether the roller and the mixing shaft rotate in the intended direction.
 The PTO shaft must be in right measure. In need please use different shaft or cut it
into right measure.
 Check that the fastening bolt between PTO shaft and gear box is fastened correctly.
Operating instructions
If the roller or mixing shaft gets jammed for any reason, stop the attachment immediately
and find out the reason for jamming!
The attachment has been designed and manufactured with due regard to the safety of the
operator and other persons. Nevertheless, ensure that there are no other persons near the
spreader while in operation.

Adjust the rotation speed of the roller according to the amount of salt required.
Service the attachment regularly.
The attachment may be used only by persons authorised to operate the base machine.
Emergency stop
The salt spreaders have no specific emergency stop mechanism – it stops naturally once the
PYO shaft stops.
The salt spreader may be used only with a base machine where the PTO can be activated
only manually. Stop the spreader when leaving the base machine.
