OPERATING PROCEDURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Hiniker spreaders are capable of dispersing a
variety of dry materials for control of ice on road-
ways, walkways and parking lots.
Vehicle load carrying capacity limits the maxi-
mum load that can be safely transported, which
could be less than the volumetric capacity of the
spreader. Check the vehicle’s load rating certifi
-
cation sticker and DO NOT overload the vehicle
beyond its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Spread-
ers are recommended to be mounted on trucks
over 8,500 lb. GVWR.
Use the following tables to calculate vehicle pay-
load when material is loaded in the spreader.

Calculate total material weight by multiplying
pounds per cubic yard by cubic yards of mate-
rial.
Local, state and federal regulations may require
flashing lights, center high mounted stop light,
or other additional equipment for operation on
public roadways. It is the owners responsibil-
ity to know and follow laws as they apply in his
area.
Always examine the spreader for worn or dam-
aged components prior to operation. During
operation, listen for unusual noise from the
spreader that might indicate component failure.
Never run a machine in need of repair.
Start the spreader for a short period of time be-
fore loading material to test for proper function
of moving parts.
After loading, run the spreader in an isolated
area, clear of people, to become familiar with
the controls and to verify the correct spread pat-
tern. Adjust deflectors on the discharge chute to
achieve the desired spread.
WARNING: Stop the conveyor and set
the vehicle parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle to make adjustments.
If loading the hopper the night before an im-
pending snowfall or ice storm, park the spreader
indoors, if possible, to help prevent freeze-up of
material before morning.
