DO NOT USE WITH ROCK SALT: Using rock salt in this spreader will damage the mechanism and shorten the life of the product. Refined ice melting salt can be used, but the user should be aware that using salt may corrode certain components of the spreader and reduce the life of the machine. Clean the spreader thoroughly after using refined de-icing salt.With the Handy THS125HDUTY Broadcast Spreader you don\'t just get excellent build-quality, you\'ll also enjoy straightforward operation and a superb large-area productivity! It\'s a highly versatile, twin-function machine which can be used during freezing weather to apply ice-melts to pathways, drives and other hard-surface areas so as to eliminate slip-hazard; or during the spring/summer period to broadcast fertiliser, pesticides and grass-seeds. The heavy-duty Handy THS125HDUTY boasts a tubular-steel frame, an all-metal transmission and a corrosion-resistant poly hopper; a combination that ensures season upon season of rock-solid reliability and unfailing performance. It\'s supplied with a hopper-screen that prevents performance-inhibiting clogging; and it boasts an adjustable feed-control that confers enhanced flexibility of use (adjustment is via a conveniently positioned lever). Capable of holding an impressive 56.7kg (125lb) of your chosen spread-medium and offering a sizeable 3.66m (12\') maximum spread-width, the Handy THS125HDUTY Broadcast Spreader delivers a range-topping work-rate. Wide-profile pneumatic tyres ensure it\'s stable in operation and can be pushed with ease across rough ground; while a hopper-cover means you\'ll be able to continue working should it start to rain. For the best possible user-comfort, Handy have kept machine-weight down to just 17.5kg and provided an ergonomically optimised soft-grip T-Bar handle.
