WARNING
Before starting the spreader, the driver shall
verify all bystanders are a minimum of 25 feet
away from operating spreader.
Variable Speed (PWM) Control – Old Style
Starting and Stopping the Motor
1. To start the spreader motor, press the power
switch to the START/BLAST position and release.
This is a momentary position and the power switch
will automatically return to the ON position when
released. The spreader will operate at the speed
selected on the speed dial.
2. Press the power switch to the OFF position to stop
the motor. The power switch will remain in this
position. The power switch OFF position operates
as emergency stop when required.
NOTE: The truck ignition must be on to start the
spreader.
NOTE: If the truck ignition is turned off while the
spreader is running, the motor will stop.
Adjusting the Spinner Speed
The speed setting can be adjusted when the spreader
is either on or off.
1. Turn the speed dial clockwise. The speed will
increase as the numbers on the speed dial
increase.
2. Turning the speed dial counterclockwise will
decrease the speed.
Blast/Maximum Speed
1. Press and hold the power switch in the START/
BLAST position as long as maximum speed is
needed.
2. Release the power switch when maximum speed
is no longer needed. The switch automatically
returns to the ON position and the speed shown
on the speed dial.
NOTE: When blast is used, the speed dial does
not move to the maximum speed setting, but
remains at the preset speed.
Spinner Indicator Lights
Two lights on the cab control indicate the status of the
motor:
• Left light is red and indicates a fault. When the red
(left) light is on, the power is on and the motor is
not running.
• Right light is green and indicates power is on.
When the green (right) light is on, there is power
to the control and the motor is running.
If there are problems while operating the spreader,
refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
NOTE: Always place the cover on the hopper to
prevent moisture buildup. Do not let the spreader sit
idle with material in the hopper for an extended
period of time. This can cause the material to
compact and reduce or stop the flow of material.
