  • Do not overload the hopper beyond its specified capacity.
  • Clean the spreader thoroughly after each use, especially when using corrosive materials like salt.

3. Asanble

The Hecht Jardin 256 spreader requires some assembly. Follow these steps carefully:

  1. Depake konpozan: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components listed in the packing list are present.
  2. Tache wou yo: Secure the pneumatic wheels to the axle using the provided hardware. Ensure they are firmly attached and rotate freely.
  3. Rasanble ankadreman: Connect the handle assembly to the main frame. Use the bolts and nuts provided, tightening them securely.
  4. Mount Hopper: Place the 60-liter plastic hopper onto the frame and secure it with the designated fasteners. Ensure the agitator mechanism aligns correctly with the spreading plate.
  5. Install Control Lever: Attach the control lever to the handle assembly. Connect the control cable to the spreading mechanism, ensuring smooth operation of the flow regulation.
  6. Insert Sieve and Cover: Place the sieve inside the hopper to prevent clumping of materials. Position the cover over the hopper to protect contents from moisture and debris.

4. Operasyon Enstriksyon

Follow these steps for effective operation of your Hecht Jardin 256 spreader:

  1. Prepare materyèl: Ensure the material (fertilizer, seeds, salt, gravel) is dry and free of large clumps. Use the included sieve to break up any aggregates before filling.
  2. Ranpli Hopper: Open the hopper cover and carefully pour the material into the 60-liter hopper. Do not overfill.
  3. Adjust Spreading Rate: Use the control lever on the handle to set the desired spreading quantity. Refer to the markings on the lever for guidance. A lower setting will result in a finer, more controlled spread.
  4. Begin Spreading: Start walking at a consistent pace. As you push the spreader, the wheels will turn, activating the spreading mechanism. The agitator ensures a continuous flow of material.
  5. Maintain Consistent Speed: A steady walking speed is crucial for uniform distribution.
  6. Stop Spreading: To stop the flow of material, pull the control lever to the closed position. This should be done before turning or stopping to prevent uneven application.

5. Antretyen

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

  • Netwayaj: After each use, especially with corrosive materials like salt, thoroughly clean the hopper, spreading mechanism, and wheels with water. Dry all metal parts to prevent rust.
