Material Flow Adjustments
Always use screen during spreader operation!
Various materials have different moisture absorption rate,
some materials may not perform as desired. Therefore, the
substitution of the alternate material may be necessary for
optimum performance.
SHPE2000 has two discharge openings in the bottom of
the hopper. Material flow through these openings can be
controlled using two sliding baffles. The spreader is shipped
from the factory with baffles adjusted for dry bagged salt.
In this setting rear baffle has 4.0" opening and baffle in
the middle of the hopper has 2.0" opening. However if you
are using a sand/salt mixture or any chunky and hard to
flow materials, it is advised to increase the open portion of
discharge openings.
IMPORTANT! -Always open rear (closer to gear motor
compartment) opening first. Always turn off power before
adjusting baffles!
