Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The Hecht 229 is designed for precise distribution of various materials.
Mili tad-delu
- Ensure the spreader is on a level surface.
- Close the flow control mechanism before filling.
- Carefully pour the desired material (fertilizer, seeds, salt) into the hopper. Do not exceed the 29 L capacity or 36 kg maximum supported weight.
- For best results, use the agitator feature to ensure even material flow.
Adjusting Spreading Width and Dosage
The spreader features a control on the handle for adjusting the flow rate and thus the spreading width (46-48 cm). Experiment with settings on a small area to achieve the desired distribution density.
Spreading Technique
- Begin walking at a consistent pace before opening the flow control.
- Maintain a steady speed for uniform application.
- Close the flow control before stopping or turning to prevent over-application.
- Overlap slightly on each pass to ensure complete coverage.
