EdgeGuard Technology

The integrated EdgeGuard Technology helps maintain precise application by blocking the spread pattern on one side. This feature is crucial for preventing granular products from landing on unwanted areas.

• Activate EdgeGuard: To engage the EdgeGuard, slide the lever located near the hopper to the "ON" position. This creates a 3-foot controlled spread, preventing product from reaching landscapes, driveways, or sidewalks.
• Deactivate EdgeGuard: For a wider, 5-foot broadcast spread, slide the lever to the "OFF" position.

EdgeGuard Technology allows for controlled spreading to protect non-lawn areas.

Opretholdelse

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your spreader.

• Rensning: After each use, empty any remaining product from the hopper. Rinse the hopper and spreader mechanism thoroughly with water. Allow all parts to dry completely before storage.
• Opbevaring: Store the spreader in a dry, covered area to protect it from elements. The handle can be folded down for compact storage.
• Smøring: Periodically check moving parts for smooth operation. Lubricate as needed with a silicone-based lubricant, avoiding petroleum-based products that may damage plastic components.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your spreader, consider the following:

• Ujævn spredning: Ensure the product is dry and free-flowing. Check that the spreader setting is appropriate for the product being used and that the agitator is clear of obstructions.
• Product Not Dispensing: Verify that the hopper is not empty and that the flow control lever is fully open. Check for any clogs in the hopper opening or agitator mechanism.
• Difficulty Pushing: Ensure the wheels are clean and free of debris. If using on uneven terrain, adjust your pace and technique.
