OPERATING THE 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 an
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. Speed will increase
as the numbers on the speed dial increase.
2. Turning the speed dial counterclockwise will
decrease the speed.
BLAST/Maximum Speed
3. Press and hold the power switch in the
"START/BLAST" position as long as maximum
speed is needed.
4. 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
fl
ow of material.
CAUTION
Do not swing spreader with material in the
hopper.
WARNING
Before starting the spreader, the driver shall
verify that all bystanders are a minimum of
25 feet away from operating spreader.
