Adjusting the Spinner Speed
The speed setting can be adjusted when the spreader
is either ON or OFF.
1. Turn the speed dial clockwise. The speed will
increase as the number of green LEDs illuminated
on the speed dial increases.
2. Turning the speed dial counterclockwise will
decrease the speed.
Blast/Maximum Speed
1. Press and hold the START/BLAST button as long
as maximum speed is needed.
2. Release the button when maximum speed is no
longer needed. The control automatically returns
to the "ON" position and the speed shown on the
speed dial.
NOTE: When BLAST is used, the speed dial does
not move to the maximum speed setting, but
remains at the preset speed.
Diagnostic Indicator Light
The diagnostic indicator light located to the right of the
START/BLAST button remains dark unless a problem
with the motor or wiring is detected. The light will
fl
ash
a number of
fl
ashes in a row, pause, then repeat.
Count the
fl
ashes to determine the nature of the
malfunction and refer to the diagnostic chart below.
