Spreader Operation.
1. Due to the rate at which materials absorb mois-
ture differently, some materials may not perform as
desired. Therefore, the substitution of an alternative
material may be necessary for optimum performance.
2. When filling hopper use supplied screen to prevent
large chunks of material and debris contained in the
material to get into hopper and cause operational
problem or damage.
3. Material must never be left in the hopper for extended
period of time. Material will absorb moisture, bind,
harden and may prevent spreader from proper opera-
tion or may damage the spreader.
4. To start spreader make sure that truck engine is
running. Flip POWER switch in ON position. Switch
will illuminate. Spreader motor will accelerate to full
speed and then it will slow down to previously dialed
speed.
5. To adjust material flow rate and spreading distance,
simply rotate speed knob to desired speed. Spreader
can be put in full speed mode for short time by press-
ing and holding BLAST button.
6. To activate and deactivate vibrator press VIBRATOR
button.
7. In addition material flow rate can be controlled by
adjusting inverted vee, located inside hopper. To
reduce material flow, lower inverted vee towards
auger. For slow and difficult to flow materials invert-
ed vee can be raised or completely removed.
8. In addition, material flow and pattern can be adjusted
by opening/ close adjustable discharge on the trough
bottom.

Maintenance Instructions.
1. Wash spreader after every use. Make sure no material
left under auger and/or inside trough.
2. Inspect and retighten fasteners after every 5-7 hours
of operation.
3. Lubricate bearing every 7-10 hours of operation using
general automotive grease.
4. Inspect terminals/ connectors every time you discon-
nect spreader from wire harness. Apply thin layer of
dielectric grease on terminals. If any tarnish/corrosion
found, clean terminals and apply dielectric grease.
End of Season Maintenance.
1. Wash spreader. Make sure no material or residue left
in and outside hopper.
2. Lubricate bearing using general automotive grease.
3. Inspect wire harness, connectors for broken insula-
tion, missing components. Replace if necessary.
4. Apply dielectric grease on all electrical connectors.
5. Store hopper indoors, in dry, cool place.
6. Inspect, clean and repaint frame.
7. Remove controller from truck. Store controller indoors,
in dry, cool place.
