FAQs

Can I use brown rock salt in this machine?

No. The Slingsby Salt Spreader is strictly intended for white de-icing salt. Brown rock salt causes clogging.

What is the maximum spread width?

The adjustable spread range reaches up to 366cm.

How do I maintain the hopper?

Keep the hopper clean and dry. Rinse it after each use to prevent salt crusting and frame corrosion.

Is the rain cover included?

Yes, a protective rain cover is included with this specific model.

How much salt can it hold?

It has a total capacity of 36kg.

Does it work on grass?

It is designed for clear surfaces like paths and drives; while it works on flat, firm grass, performance is best on paved surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Spreader is not distributing salt consistently

Check the hopper screen for debris and ensure you are only using dry white de-icing salt; damp salt or brown rock salt will cause blockages.

Wheels are locking up or dragging

Inspect the axle for salt buildup or debris. Clean the area thoroughly and apply a light lubricant if necessary.

The spreader is too heavy to push

Verify the tyre pressure is correct and ensure the hopper is not filled beyond its 36kg weight capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grip pneumatic tyres for excellent traction
  • Durable, corrosion-resistant build quality
  • Efficient hopper screen prevents distribution stalls
  • Rain cover enables use during light precipitation
  • Large capacity minimizes downtime

Cons

  • Not compatible with brown rock salt
  • Requires manual assembly of components
  • Larger footprint requires dedicated storage space

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly: The unit arrives with a metal frame and hopper. Follow the provided manual to attach the wheels and axle securely.

Compatibility: This model is engineered specifically for use with white de-icing salt or commercial ice melt granules. Do not attempt to use brown rock salt, as the impurities and grain size will cause immediate clogging and potential damage to the distribution mechanism.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Empty the hopper completely after every use to prevent salt buildup.
  2. Wash the spreader with fresh water to remove salt residue, which can accelerate corrosion on the metal frame.
  3. Regularly inspect the pneumatic tyres and maintain correct inflation pressure.
  4. Store the unit in a dry, covered area during the off-season.
