Note: To unclog auger manually, first remove the chute. Apply
1¼" open wrench on auger’s nut. Turn auger counterclock-
wise several times.
Note: Do not run the vibrator longer than 30 minutes with 15
minutes between runs to avoid overheating.
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.
SHPE1000 has one discharge opening covered with two
adjustable deflectors. To adjust amount of material going
through this opening loose two screws, slide deflectors to
increase or reduce opening exposure. It is recommended
to expose more of rear (closer to truck's rear end) portion
of discharge opening to increase flow without overloading
auger gear motor.
IMPORTANT! -Always turn off power before making any
spreader adjustments!
