Operating the Spreader
PREPARATION
CAUTION – Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons, children, or animals out
of the area to be spread.
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 35-40 lbs.
Sand/Salt Mix 85-95 lbs.
• Be sure to comply with manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings.
• Warning – Never leave materials 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.
SPREADING TIPS
• 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.
• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
VEE PRO 3000/6000/8000 CONTROL OPERATION
• The Dual Variable Speed Control 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 switch on controller to off position.
• Speed of auger and spinner may be adjusted separately to get desired flow and spread distance
from spreader.
• The Vibrator Switch is needed for dense material or to increase the flow to the auger. This eliminates bridging of material in hopper.
