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 only screened material.
Prevent large chunks of material and debris from get-
ting 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 (optional) press
VIBRATOR button, if equipped.
7. Material flow and pattern can be adjusted by
opening/ close adjustable discharge on the trough
bottom. Be careful adjusting discharge opening.
Closing this opening too much will created back
pressure and stall gear motor.
Optional vibrator installation.
To install optional vibrator, order kit #3020340. Drill 3/8
clearance holes thru hopper using bind holes as guides.
Place plate inside hopper; align holes in plate with
holes in hopper. Place vibrator on outer hopper wall and
secure it to hopper using 4 carriage bolts 3/8-16 x 3.25
and 4 nylock nuts 3/8-16. Connect vibrator cable to mat-
ing connector on wire harness 3008620.
Check fasteners every 5-7 hours of operation. Retighten
if necessary.
Controller Warnings.
Check controller instruction sheet for latest controller
updates, troubleshooting codes. Controller instruction
sheet is inside controller shipping box.

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.
