The Handy walk behind 36kg (80lb) broadcast spreader with soft grip handle and rain cover is here to make your spreading tasks easier and more productive when tackling winter ice over larger areas, making heavy work become light work with this easy to assemble, compact and robust spreader. Using brown rock salt in this spreader will damage the mechanism and shorten the life of the product. White refined de-icing salt can be used but must be cleaned thoroughly after use to avoid the salt corroding the spreader and reducing the life of the machine. When operating the spreader, maintain a steady and even pace to ensure consistent coverage. Avoid stops and starts, as these can result in uneven salt distribution and prevent wastage in helping minimise the environmental impact of excessive salt usage.
