Spreader Operation
OPERATING THE SPREADER:
The controller is equipped with a power on switch, blast switch, vibrate switch and rotary speed control. Once the
ignition key is turned to the ON position, the controller face plate will illuminate white indicating that the controller is
ready for operation. During operation, face plate color will vary depending on the mode of operation and status of the
controller. If the vehicle ignition is shut off while the controller power switch is in the ON or AUTO position the controller
will turn off. Once the vehicle ignition is turned back on the controller will not illuminate or turn on unless the controller
power switch is first turned off.
To start the spreader, be sure that the vehicle engine is running to prevent battery from wearing down, flip the power
switch to position I for normal mode or position II for auto mode. Once power switch is ON, the spreader will power up
with 5 full blast for approximately one second then drop to wherever the dial has the speed set at. Adjust the speed
of the spreader by rotating the dial clockwise for faster and counterclockwise for slower. The face plate will illuminate
greener as the speed increases and will change completely to green at maximum speed.
If auto mode is selected, the face plate color will change to amber, the spreader will power up with 5 full blast for ap-
proximately one second then drop to wherever the dial has the speed set at. In this mode, if the brake is applied for
more than 5 seconds, the spreader will stop and once the brake pedal is released, spreader will resume its operation.
The blast switch provides momentary full power override. During operation if blast switch is depressed, spreader will go
on to full speed and the face plate color will change to blue.
If vibrator switch is flipped to the ON position I, vibrator motor will be activated as long as the switch is maintained
at position I and the face plate will illuminate purple. If vibrator auto mode is selected at position II, vibrator motor will
activate for 10 seconds every 60 seconds and will cycle the motor ON and OFF as long as the switch is maintained at
AUTO position II. Face plate will change color to purple whenever the vibrator motor is activated.
In case there is an overload condition, the face plate will change to red color and the spreader will stop. The Power
ON / OFF or AUTO switch will need to be turned OFF to reset the controller.
SPREADING HINTS: Never exceed 10 M.P.H. when spreading. For a wider pass, increase spinner
speed. For a heavier pass, drive more slowly. Never operate spreader around people and calculate
spread pattern around vegetation.
