OPERATING THE SPREADER
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 wider pass, increase spinner speed.
• For a heavier pass, drive slower or increase
auger speed.
• Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
NOTE: The spinner motor is not designed for
continuous duty. Allow the motor to cool between
long cycle times.
ACCESSORY LED WORK LIGHT
V-Maxx™ spreaders are equipped with a button to
operate an accessory work light. The button is on the
driver's side of the power box on the chute end of the
hopper. The work light can also be turned on and off
from the cab control.
A second LED light and harness can be also be
added. Accessory work light kits are available through

DUMP FUNCTION
The dump function allows the operator to activate the
auger to empty the hopper after use or load material
into a walk-behind spreader.
The dump function is a two-handed operation requiring
the operator to press two buttons at the same time.
The auger drive buttons are located on opposite sides
of the power box/accessory hub on the rear end
of the hopper. The spinner motor harness must be
disconnected to enable the dump function.
1. Disconnect the spinner motor harness. If
necessary, the spinner assembly may be
removed. See "Remove Spinner Assembly" on
page 14.
2. Position the material receptacle or walk-behind
spreader under the end of the hopper.
3. Standing to one side of the auger exit, press
and hold both auger drive buttons to operate the
auger.
NOTE: Do not stand directly in front of the auger
when operating the dump function.
4. To stop the auger, release one or both of the
buttons.
