Operating the Spreader
Model # SP-9500X
SPREADER LOADING
WARNING
– Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for
dry
materials.
Material
Weight Per Cubic Ft.
Rock Salt
80-90 lbs.
Sand/Salt Mix
95-120 lbs.
•
Warning – Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.
When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material from freezing.
SPREADER OPERATION
• The Dual Variable Speed Controller has dual finger-tip dials for maximum performance, digital system status with warning protection and built-
in Vibrator Switch.
•
To start, press power switch on controller and spreader will accelerate to speed set on spinner and auger dials.
•
To stop, press power on controller to off position.
• Speed of Auger and Spinner may be adjusted separately to get desired flow and spread distance
• The Vibrator Switch is needed for dense material or to increase the flow to the Auger. This eliminates bridging of material in hopper.
•
It is important that the Inverted Vee not be removed except when servicing.
•
If there are any problems while operating the spreader, refer to Troubleshooting Guide.
SPREADING TIPS
•
Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
•
Never exceed 10 m.p.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.
•
Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
