Function
A mixer mechanism in the hopper ro-
tates when the spreader is set in mo-
tion. This prevents the material that you
want to spread from accumulating in
front of the outlet opening.
The size of the outlet opening can be
set by using the adjustable stop (Figure
1, No. 1) and the control lever (Figure 1,
No. 2).
Operation

rial can exit from the spreader and dam-
age plants.

"OFF" before you refill the spreader
and when the spreader is not operating.

plied for that purpose and the wire pin
to the towing vehicle (refer to Figure 2).
