E. ENGINE MAINTENANCE:
For detailed maintenance instructions for the engine on your
spreader, see the separate engine manual packed with your
spreader.
F. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE:
The hydraulic system does not require any maintenance. The
trans-axle is not owner repairable. If you have a problem with a
trans-axle, call the Spyker Service Hot line. Do not disassemble
the trans-axle.
G. TO CHANGE THE PUMP DRIVE BELT:
(See Figure 7)
a. Loosen the bolt holding the trans-axle drive belt idler
pulley in place and rotate the pulley away from the
trans-axle drive belt.
b. Remove the old belt and mount a new belt on to the
pulleys.
c. Rotate the idler pulley back onto the belt and tighten
the locknut holding it in place. The idler pulley should
be adjusted so that a 5 lb pull on the belt between the
engine pulley and the pump pulleys defl ects the bell
about 3/16”.
SPREADER OPERATION
This unit is designed to handle dry, clean, free-fl owing material
only such as bagged rock salt, ice melt, fertilizer, and grass
seed.
1. The recommended vehicle operating speed when spreading
is approximately 3 MPH, or slightly faster than a brisk walk
(equal to vehicle traveling 40 ft. in 9 seconds).
2. The rate gate linkage operates the rate gate. The dial
is marked from 0 to 9.9. The rate gate linkage position
determines the amount of material to be broadcast. The
higher the number, the heavier the application of material.
3. The dial is milled out at the 9.9 position. This allows the
rate gate link to go past the 9.9 position and enables the
rate gate to be opened to maximum distance. This setting
can be used for dry sand, dry organic top dresses, bagged
rock salt, and ice melt products that are normally diffi cult
to spread.

4. Fill hopper with material. Do not exceed maximum weight
capacity of hopper (see Specifi cation Section).
5. Set dial to correct position. If a Spyker dial setting is not
found with broadcast material information, use the size
and weight comparison table found on the following pages.
Determine a dial setting on the low side. If the setting
proves to be too low, cover the area more than one time.
A higher setting can be used when a proven dial setting is
established.
