OPERATING THE SPREADER
WARNING
Never operate equipment when under the
influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications
that might alter your judgment and/or reaction
time.
WARNING
Never allow children to operate or climb on
equipment.
WARNING
Never exceed 45 mph (72 km/h) when loaded
spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking
distances may be increased and handling
characteristics may be impaired at speeds
above 45 mph (72 km/h).
ENSURING THE SPREADER HAS POWER
The spreader is only compatible with
7‑way RV style trailer plugs. If your vehicle
is not equipped with a 7‑way trailer plug,
contact Customer Support to purchase the
necessary electrical harness (PN 75924).
Fuses are supplied with the spreader. One may
need to be installed in the truck fuse panel for the
7‑way plug to receive power.
1.
Begin by
unplugging the spreader from the
7‑way plug.
2. Push the toggle switch DOWN into the
"MANUAL OVERRIDE" position.
3. Plug the spreader into the 7‑way plug. The
spreader will start at 100% speed.
WARNING
Before starting the spreader, the driver shall
verify that all bystanders are a minimum of
25 feet away from operating spreader.
4. Unplug the spreader, push the toggle switch into
the center position and then replug the spreader.
The spreader must be unplugged after running
an override. The wireless key fob control will
remain locked out until power is removed from the
spreader unit.
5. If power is not present, consult the trailering
section in the vehicle owner's manual for more
information.
STARTING AND STOPPING MOTOR
To start the spreader, press either the "50%" or "100%"
speed button on the control.
Press the "OFF" button in the middle of the control to
stop the spreader.
NOTE: The truck ignition must be ON to start the
spreader.
NOTE: If truck ignition is turned OFF while
spreader is running, the motor will stop.
NOTE: The spinner motor is not designed for
continuous duty. Allow the motor to cool between
long cycle times.
SPREADING TIPS
• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent
unmanageable levels of ice.
•
Never exceed 10 mph (16 km/h) when spreading.
• For a heavier pass, drive slower.
• Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
WARNING
The spinner will start immediately upon
connecting power while in manual override
mode. Keep hands and tools clear of spinner
assembly.
