Bigger or heavier granules are fed towards the centre of the impeller so they pick up enough centrifugal force to be thrown properly. Smaller, lighter granules are dropped nearer the outer edge of the impeller, where less force is needed to spread them evenly. Because each type of granule is handled correctly, the spreader produces an ideal spread pattern and even turf health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the spreader before use:\u003c\/strong\u003e inspect it carefully to make sure it is clean and that no debris is left from a previous job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the material:\u003c\/strong\u003e make sure the product is in good condition, flows freely and is suitable for use in a precision rotary spreader.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet the aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e with the on\/off lever in the closed position, choose the granule placement setting by selecting the letter that matches the fertiliser being spread. Then pick the required application rate on the 1 to 25 scale on the handle and lock the setting screw at that number.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFill the hopper:\u003c\/strong\u003e keep the control lever in the off\/closed position while filling, and fill the hopper evenly. Always fill it somewhere safe, where any accidental spill will not cause damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpread the material:\u003c\/strong\u003e walk briskly at around 5km\/h, keeping the impeller parallel to the ground at all times. With the upper gauge and the lower granule placement gauge set where you need them, push the on\/off lever on the handlebar forward to the setting stop as you start walking. Always start moving forward at the same moment you push the lever to the on position. At the end of each run, pull the lever back to zero to stop the flow and stop spreading. Spread width differs between fertiliser types, so always check the spread width of the product to get the correct spacing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean the spreader after use:\u003c\/strong\u003e empty out any product left in the spreader once the job is finished and dispose of surplus material correctly. Turning the spreader upside down is the best way to empty the hopper; some extra work may be needed to clear any remaining material. Rinse the hopper thoroughly with clean water, especially around the agitator and the underside of the hopper. Drying off the excess water is recommended, and the spreader should not be used again until it is dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGranular fertilisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrass seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildflower seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpread width:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 4.5 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHopper capacity (grass seed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 15kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHopper capacity (granular fertiliser):\u003c\/strong\u003e 30kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication rate scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Turf Care Pro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58855628964171,"sku":"TCP106","price":1620.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0142\/3435\/files\/41e0ec28b5732debffe1d26e28c301c3.jpg?v=1792074930","url":"https:\/\/turfcarepro.co.uk\/products\/professional-rotary-spreader-30kg-hopper-stainless-steel-frame-4-5m-spread","provider":"Turf Care Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
