ASSEMBLY

RECOMMENDED TOOLS REQUIRED

•Pliers

•Adjustable Spanner

•10mm Wrench x2

•13mm Wrench

STEP 1 - Wheels

•When assembling the wheels make sure the air valves are facing outward.

•Slide the wheel bushing (#19) onto the left side of the axle.

•Push one wheel (#15) onto the axle. Align the hole in the axle and wheel and insert the M6x60

bolt (#24) and secure with a M6 lock nut (#9).

•Slide the other wheel bushing (#19) onto the right side of the axle.

•Push the wheel (#15) onto the axle. Slip the Ø16 flat washer (#17) and insert the Ø5x35 cotter

pin (#16) into the hole and fasten it by bending.

STEP 2 –Attach Handle to Support Leg

•Insert handle assembly into the supporting leg (#39). In the center holes put two M6x35 bolts

(#40), Ø6 spring washer (#55) and secure with M6 lock nut (#9).

•On the outer holes of the handle assembly and supporting leg (#39) put four M6x20 bolts (#47),

Ø6 spring washers (#55) and secure with M6 lock nuts (#9).

STEP 3 –Connecting Linkage

•Push the flow control handle to the “30” position. Insert the A end of the connecting rod (#34)

through the Ø8 flat washer (#12) and into the hole on the gauge level plate (#46). Secure with a

M8 lock nut (#11).

•Insert the B end of the connecting rod (#34) through the Ø8 flat washer (#12) and into the hole

on the fixed plate (#13). Secure with M8 lock nut (#11).

•Push the control handle to the “0” position. The hole in the bottom of the spreader should be

completely closed.

ADJUSTMENTS

STEP 4

When you have finished all the above steps, if the hole at the bottom of hopper cannot be closed

and opened completely by using the handle you may need to the follow these additional steps.

•If the flow control handle position and the hole in the bottom of the hopper does match exactly,

loosen the two bottom M6 lock nuts (#9) and move the gauge level plate until the handle

position and the hole in the bottom of the hopper match.

•Re-tighten the two M6 lock nuts (#9).

To operate this spreader, push the handle to the lowest position (downwards). You may move the

position of the Wing nut on the Gauge & Lever to adjust the space on the hole between the

hopper and the adjustable plate as per your need when spreading.

OPERATION

DANGER

The product must only be put into operation if no defects are found. It is crucial that any defective

parts are replaced before the product is used again. Check the safety equipment and the safe

condition of the product. Check all parts to make sure that they fit tightly. Check whether there

are any visible defects: broken parts, cracks, etc.

DANGER - DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LOAD CAPACITY OF 125LBS (56.8KG)

NOTE: ALWAYS MOVE OFF BEFORE OPENING THE FEED-GATE. ALWAYS CLOSE THE FEED-GATE

BEFORE STOPPING.

•Inspect your spreader before each use. Make sure the wheels turn easily, and the gearbox

moves when the spreader is pushed. The hopper should be clean and free from cracks.

•DO NOT use the spreader on windy days.

•Before filling the hopper, ensure the feed-gate flow hole is closed, with the flow control lever at

“0”. Always follow the spreading material manufacturer spreading rates.

•The Spreader is designed to be pushed at 3 miles per hour –brisk walking pace. The rate of

walking will affect the spread pattern and flow rate.

•Move the Wing Nut attached to the stop bolt on the gauge to the relevant setting.

•Start pushing the Spreader forward & pull the control lever back to the stop bolt, opening the

feed-gate flow hole at the bottom of the hopper.

•Every time you are ready to stop or turn back, close the flow control plate to stop dispersing the

material and continue one more stride. This reduces waste and avoids damaging the lawn by

oversaturating it with the product.

•To maintain the same coverage when walking at a different speed, adjust the flow rate. Reduce

the flow setting for slower speeds and increase the flow setting for higher speeds. Keep the

impeller plate horizontal when operating the spreader. Tilting the spreader will result in uneven

coverage.

•If the Spreader does not spread evenly, ensure that the gearbox rotates the impellor clockwise.

•Material which is stuck on the impellor blades will cause uneven spreading.

•To stop spreading, push the gauge lever forward to close the feed-gate hole in the hopper.

•If spreading material is accidentally deposited too heavily in a small area, soak the area

thoroughly with a garden hose or sprinkler to prevent burning the lawn.

•When broadcasting spreading material, make sure the broadcast pattern does not hit evergreen

trees, flowers or shrubs.

•Always use the rain cover in wet weather conditions to keep the hopper contents dry.

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 using salt may corrode

certain components of the spreader and reduce the life of the machine.

Clean the spreader thoroughly after using refined de-icing salt.

RATE SETTINGS

Our spreaders are designed to spread dry, powdered or granulated materials thinly and evenly over

reasonably smooth surfaces.

•Ensure that the material is dry and free-running. If in doubt pass it through a sieve with 3mm

mesh to remove lumps.

•Set rate-setting dial to No. 12.

•Fill the hopper approximately 3/4 full.

•Push the spreader forward and pull the control lever back to the Stop bolt. If the spread is

uneven or inadequate, close the feed-gate and reset the dial to a higher number.

Always move off BEFORE opening the feed-gate and close the gate BEFORE stopping.

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. 12

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.

CONSISTENT COVERAGE

To ensure consistent coverage, ensure each broadcast pattern slightly overlaps the previous, as

shown below. N.B. ALWAYS MOVE OFF BEFORE OPENING FEED-GATE.ALWAYS CLOSE FEED-GATE

BEFORE STOPPING

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATE

Maintenance spray or multi-purpose grease can be applied to the wheel axle prior to long-term

storage. Oiling is not necessary.

GEARBOX

Apply multi-purpose grease to the gearbox cogs at the end of each use.

CHECK TYRE INFLATION

Prior to using the Spreader, ensure the tyres are sufficiently inflated. We recommend the use of

FOOT or HAND manual inflation devices only. Do not inflate above 20psi.

CLEANING

After each use thoroughly wash the spreader and clean material out of the hopper.

STORING

Never allow material to stay in the hopper for extended periods of time. Before storing, ensure that

the spreader is clean and dry. Store indoors or in a protected area during severe weather in the

winter months and direct sunlight.

CHECK ALL NUTS, BOLTS AND FASTENING

Periodically check all fastenings are tight & secure.

NEVER EXCEED LOAD CAPACITY

To avoid damaging the spreader, never exceed the rated load capacity of 125LB (56.8kg).
