5.  Before starting the equipment

5.1  Installing the controller

Push bar

• 

Fit the push rods into the spreader tank 

(Fig. 3).

• 

Fit the push bar on to the push rods (Fig. 4).

Adjustment lever

Fit the adjustment lever grip (Fig.2/ Item 2) to the 

adjustment lever (Fig. 5/ Item A).

Foot

• 

Remove the screw (Fig. 7/ Item B).

• 

Insert the foot (Fig. 8/ Item 5) and secure it.

Wheels

• 

Take the wheel caps off the wheels (Fig. 9).

• 

Remove the screws (Fig. 10/ Item E) (on both 

sides).

• 

Attach the wheels (Fig. 11/ Item D) and 

secure them.

• 

Fit the wheel caps.

5.2 Filling

• 

Measure the area over which you intend to 

spread the spreader material and determine 

the size of the area in square meters. Work 

out the amount of spreader material required 

by referring to the amounts given on the 

fertilizer/seed packaging.

• 

Ensure that the spreader material 

compartment is dry and clean.

• 

Move the adjustment lever (Fig. 6 / Item 2) to 

the “0” position.

• 

Spread some sheets of newspaper out on 

a firm, dry surface. Place the spreader on 

the newspaper and carefully fill the spreader 

material compartment. Do not allow the 

spreader material compartment to overflow 

and do not spill the spreader material. Never 

fill the spreader material compartment 

directly on the lawn, because spilled spreader 

material will burn the grass as a result of over-

fertilization.

• 

Make sure that the black spreading roller 

cover is completely covered by spreader 

material. The fertilizer will only be spread 

evenly across the full spreading width if the 

cover is completely covered.

5.3 Determining the right spreader setting 

(Fig. 12)

Spreading material products such as lawn 

seed, fertilizer and other care products vary 

considerably in terms of distribution quantity, 

granule size and weight, which means that it 

is not possible to use a single universal setting 

for all. The required spreader setting is easy to 

determine.

• 

Fill the compartment half full with the sprea-

der material (see 5.2).

• 

Spread out a clean and dry plastic sheet on a 

smooth and level surface (e.g. in the garage).

• 

We recommend that you set the adjustment 

lever to “4” to start with. Push the spreader 

along over a length of 2.3 m. With a spreading 

width of 45 cm this equates to an area of 

approx. 1 m².

• 

Sweep up the spreader material, weigh it 

using household scales (distribution rate 

per m²) and compare the weight to the 

information provided by the manufacturer on 

the spreader material packaging (e.g. 30 g/

m²). Set the adjustment lever to a higher level 

if insufficient material is distributed, or to a 

lower level if too much is distributed.

• 

Make a note of the determined values so that 

you can use them again if needed.

6. Operation

Important! If you use the spreader on wet, damp 

or very tall grass (grass over 60 mm in height), the 

spreader material may become moist and block 

the spreading action. This may result in too much 

or insu

ffi

  cient spreader material being spread.

6.1 Spreader settings

Select the spreader settings determined in 

advance (see 5.3). You must observe the 

instructions on the fertilizer/seed packaging.

6.2 Spreading

• 

After filling with spreader material (see 

section 5.2), set the adjustment lever to the 

determined position (see 5.3) and start sprea-

ding the material over the lawn surface.

• 

Over the outermost 2-3 lanes we recommend 

that you spread the material in both a 

crosswise and a lengthwise direction. You can 

spread the material over the rest of the lanes 

in a lengthwise direction only. Spread the 

material on an overlapping basis and make
