OPERATING THE SPREADER
SPREADING TIPS
• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent
unmanageable levels of ice.
• Never exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) when spreading.
• For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.
• For a heavier pass, drive slower or increase
auger speed.
• Never operate spreader near pedestrians or pets.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
NOTE: The spinner motor is not designed for
continuous duty. Allow the motor to cool between
long cycle times.
The application rate, which is the amount of material
spread on a given area, depends on three variables:
vehicle speed, spinner speed, and auger speed.
For consistency in spreading results, it is best to drive at
a constant speed.
The spinner speed changes the spread width. This
determines how much area the same material fed by the
auger will cover.
Auger speed changes how much material is fed to the
spinner. Changing this rate will change the amount of
material being spread in the same area.
Wider spread patterns will spread the same material over
a larger area, so the application rate will be decreased
unless the auger speed is increased, or you drive
slower. A narrower spread pattern requires the opposite
action
—
a slower auger speed or driving faster.
To maintain the application rate with a wider spread
pattern, increase the auger speed, drive slower, or
spread the area twice.
To maintain the application rate with a narrower spread
pattern, decrease the auger speed or drive faster.

KEY
1 Constant speed. Desired application
rate is set.
2 Increase spinner and auger speeds to
maintain application rate with a wider
spread pattern.
3 Decrease spinner and auger speeds to
maintain application rate with a
narrower spread pattern.
4 Increase spinner speed and drive
slower.
5 Increase spread width and spread
second pass on the way out of the
parking lot.
