5. Instrukcje obsługi

5.1 Załadunek materiału

  1. Ensure the spreader is on a level surface and the flow control is in the closed position.
  2. Carefully pour the desired granular material into the hopper. Do not exceed the 80lb capacity.
  3. For best results, break up any large clumps of material before loading to prevent jamming.

5.2 Rate Control and Spread Width

The spreader features an adjustable-rate control from a 1 to 20 scale, allowing you to fine-tune the material flow. An adjustment plate is included for left and right pattern adjustment, providing a spread width of approximately 20 feet.

  • Adjust the rate control lever to the desired setting based on the material and application requirements.
  • Test the spread pattern and rate in a small area to ensure optimal distribution before covering the main area.

5.3 Spreading Techniques

Spreading Techniques Diagrams

Rysunek 5.1: Diagrams illustrating two common spreading techniques for even material distribution.

Technique 1 (Left Diagram):

  • Use half the application rate suggested on the back of your fertilizer bag.
  • Cover the area by passing over it in an up and down track, taking into account the spread width of the material being applied.

Technique 2 (Right Diagram):

  • Use half the application rate suggested on the back of your fertilizer bag.
  • Cover the area as shown, repeating by a second pass in the same manner going across the area as shown in the diagram.

5.4 Winter Spreading

The CW2800S is suitable for year-round use, including spreading de-icing materials in colder months. It includes a dedicated Winter Material Plate for this purpose.

Standard vs. Winter Material Plate comparison

Rysunek 5.3: Comparison of the Standard Material Plate and the Winter Material Plate, highlighting suitable materials for each.

Ważny: Rock salt should only be used with the Winter Material Plate installed. This plate provides high output and reduces spread width, optimizing performance for salts and de-icers.

6. Konserwacja

Regularna konserwacja zapewnia długowieczność i optymalną wydajność rozsiewacza.

  • Czyszczenie: After each use, thoroughly clean the hopper, agitator, and spreading mechanism to remove any residual material. Rinse with water and allow to dry completely to prevent corrosion.
  • Smarowanie: Periodically check and lubricate moving parts, such as the axle and gearbox, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
  • Kontrola: Regularly inspect the frame, wheels, and all fasteners for wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten any loose fasteners and replace damaged parts as needed.

7. Przechowywanie

When not in use, store the spreader in a clean, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the hopper is empty and clean before storage.
