handle counterparts (Item 3) on top on both sides
and use the long self-tapping screws (Item 22) to
secure them to the operating unit (Item 1).
5.7 Connecting the Bowden wire (Fig. 15-17)
Screw together the lower part (Item 8.2) and the
upper part (Item 8.1) of the Bowden wire so that
they are fi rmly joined together. Align the Bowden
wire (Item 8) and the connecting line (Item 7) so
that they are inside the cable holders (Fig. 10/
Item 31).
5.8 Mount the support on the base (Figure
18-19)
Slide the support (Item 33) under the spreader
wheel housing (Item 38) and fasten it to the foot
(Item 13) with two short self-tapping screws (Item
24).
5.9 Fitting the battery (Fig. 20)
Note: The battery compartment cover is self-
closing and is held shut by magnets.
Inserting: Open the battery compartment cover
(Item 18) and insert the battery in the battery
mount.
Removing: Open the battery compartment cover
(Item 18), press the battery pushlock button (Item
39) and pull out the battery.
6. Operation
Explanation of the function label (Fig. 29)
1. Specify how wide the spreader material
opening can be opened.
2. Specify the speed of the spreader wheel.
3. Switch on the tool with the previously
selected values.
6.1 Recommended spreading settings
(Fig. 22/Item 5)
Each spreader material is supplied with
instructions on how many grams per square foot
are to be spread. Set a low fl ow rate for smaller
quantities and increase the fl ow rate for larger
quantities.
The following settings are recommended:
Setting 1+2: Fine grass seeds
Setting 3+4: Light fertilizer
Setting 5+6: Heavy fertilizer or deicer

Note:
Numerous variable factors (such as walking
speed, spreader wheel speed etc.) do not allow a
specifi c recommendation for the spreader setting.
Rather, the optimum setting must be determined
by the user when starting with the work.
6.2 Spreading (Fig. 22-27)
Note:
Measure the area over which you intend to spread
the spreader material and determine the size
of the area in square feet. Work out the amount
of spreader material required by referring to the
amounts given on the fertilizer/seed packaging.
Set the speed of the spreader wheel (Item 14)
with the speed controller (Item 4) (1= lowest / 6=
highest speed). Use the mechanical spreading
width controller (Item 12) to infl uence the
spreading width on the left-hand side.
Proceed at normal speed over the area where you
want to spread the material.
1. Ensure that the adjustable speed controller
(Item 4) is set to position "1".
2. Place the spreader on a paved surface and fi ll
spreading material into the spreading material
compartment (Item 9).
3. Use the spreading quantity adjuster (Item
5) to set the level recommended for the
spreading material in question.
4. Use the speed controller (Item 4) and the
mechanical spreading width controller (Item
12) to set the required spreading width. If you
do not know whether the settings conform
with the required spreading width, begin with
a low speed and a small spreading width.
5. Gently press and hold the On/Off switch (Item
16): the spreader wheel (Item 14) will rotate.
Press more fi rmly on the lock-off button (Item
17) to release the slider and the On/Off switch
(Item 16): the slider (Item 37) will open and
the tool will begin spreading.
6. After carrying out work on a small area, adjust
the settings if necessary.
Note: If the slider (Item 37) of the spreader
material opening becomes jammed, you can
release it by pulling several times on the push-
handle (Item 19).
6.3 Continuous operation (Figure 28)
It is possible to use the device in continuous
operation with the additional plug (Item 34). The
cable (Item 35) must fi rst be attached to the right
long handle tube (Item 6).
1. Press and hold the lock button (Item 17).
2. Press the On/Off switch (Item 16), the slider
