General Operating Procedures
To avoid spreader coming loose from truck: Be sure all fasteners are torqued to proper
spec before operating unit� Periodically check ratchet straps to ensure they are tight and
secure� Failure to follow this requirement may result in injury or machine damage�
Be careful where you spread materials� Avoid operating near or around personnel� Failure
to follow this requirement may result in injury or machine damage�
Before taking the unit out to use, make a walk-around inspection to assure that the spreader is not
damaged, that all essential parts are in place, and that all fasteners are tight and all guards are in place�
Check all controls to be sure they are operating correctly�
General Rules
When spreading straight salt, a minimum 2” (51mm) feedgate opening must be maintained�
Always use the highest feedgate setting and slowest conveyor speed to achieve desired application
rate� Following this simple rule will reduce tension and duty cycles on the conveyor and conveyor drive
components, resulting in maximum service life�
Using poor quality material with inconsistent particle size will cause an increased load on the conveyor and
conveyor drive system� If poor quality material must be used, a BOC conveyor is recommended�
Spread Pattern Adjustments
Fill the body with material and start the engine� Before spreading, some preliminary adjustments are
necessary to give an even spread pattern�
The spread pattern is adjusted by using the internal and external baffles. The spread pattern is dependant
on the positions of the baffles.
For setting the desired spread pattern, consider the following:
• Direction of pattern - Right, left or centered�
• Pattern width�
• Nearby pedestrians, vehicles or other property in in the direct path of material spread�
For a centered spread pattern that provides sufficient coverage at intersections, while still limited to
prevent injury to pedestrians or property damage, use of all spinner hopper baffles is required.
