to prevent a frozen feed chain.
hairpins. Chute heights can be adjusted by attaching lower
chute weldment to the upper one using upper or lower set of
holes.
B. The spread pattern and the amount of material dispensed is
dependant on the following factors:
1. Gear Motor RPM
2. Feed gate position
3. Shield position
4. Spinner Motor RPM
4. Precautions
A. If the feed chain does not move because of dense material or

a material jam, remove all material from the hopper and free the
chain.
B. If the material in the hopper freezes, move the spreader into
a warm area to thaw.
C. To prevent the feed chain from freezing, do not store material
in the spreader.
D. The gearbox is designed to only accept torque from the
electrical motor. Therefore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE
THE FEED CHAIN BY USING A PIPE OR SIMILAR TOOL
TO MOVE OR DISLODGE THE CHAIN. If the feed chain is
moved, the gears within the gearbox will strip. This action
will void all warranties.
Spreader Maintenance
1. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connections before

5. Wash out the spreader when it is not in use. At the end of the
season wash out the spreader to remove all ice control materials. Thoroughly dry all metal surfaces. Paint and oil all bare
metal surfaces and chains to protect from rust. Properly store
the spreader for the next season.
Installation Instructions - Hydraulic Models
1. During assembly take precautions to keep all hydraulic com-
ponents as clean as possible.
2. Allow enough hose length to prevent kinking and stretching
of the hoses and to permit raising the dump body. Support long
hoses with wire ties or clamps.
3. Protect hoses from wear caused by sliding and/or vibration.
4. For proper rotation of conveyor chain and spinner motors,
hoses may be reversed. The spinner rotates clockwise when
looking down from the top.
Note: Use of a pipe joint sealant compatible with hydraulic
oil is recommended for all screw fittings.
5. Use swivel type hose ends to connect hoses to flow valve.
Damage to valve body may occur if the fittings in flow valve are
over tightened.
6. A 10 micron return line filter is recommended to protect the
pump, valve, and motors from wear causing contamination.
Spreader Operation - Hydraulic Models
Initial Priming and Inspecting of the System
1. Use high grade non-foaming hydraulic oil to fill reservoir

• Before working in or around spreader equipment,
be sure all hydraulic controls are moved to off
position.
to the open position.
4. Engage PTO and circulate hydraulic oil for several minutes to
warm up.
5. Move valve on/off lever to on.
6. Inspect hydraulic system for leaks.
7. Check conveyor chain and spinner to see if they are working
properly and rotating the correct direction. To reverse rotation,
switch the hydraulic lines at the motor.
8. Refill reservoir to 3/4 full.
9. Hydraulic system should now be ready for use.
Spreader Start-up
1. Check feed gate opening and baffle positions for desired
material flow and spread pattern. See chute section.
2. Shut off spinner and auger (conveyor chain) knobs and
position the on/off lever to on. Engage the PTO and allow the
hydraulic system to warm up.
3. After the system is warm turn the spinner and auger
(conveyor chain) knobs to the desired settings.
4. Changing the conveyor chain and spinner speeds as well as
adjusting the baffle positions will produce various spread patterns.
Miscellaneous
1. Valve setting changes may be made with truck in motion.
2. By moving on/off lever to the off position, spinner and
conveyor chain may be stopped at the same time without
changing their valve settings.
Spreader Maintenance - Hydraulic Models
1. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
2. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade non-foaming
hydraulic oil.
3. Use precautions to keep contaminants from getting in
reservoir when filling.
CAUTION
Before working in or around spreader, the valve
control lever must be in the off position. Disengage
PTO and shut off engine.
CAUTION
Position the valve on/off control lever in the off
position when the spreader is not in use or is
removed. In the event the valve on/off control lever
is left in the on position, a heat problem may occur
as the pump continues to pump oil to the hydraulic
valve. This could cause a hose to burst spraying hot
oil.
4. Quick connects are a prime source of contamination.
• Clean quick connects before connecting or disconnecting
them.
• Protect quick connects from contaminates at all times.
5. Lubricate all bearings with suitable type grease on a regular
basis. More frequent lubrication is recommended during periods
of heavy use.
6. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all gearboxes with
SAE 90 gear lubricant.
7. When not in use, keep the spreader empty to prevent freezing
of material in the hopper in extremely cold weather.
8. To extend the life of your spreader:
• Hose down and clean after each use.
• Repaint and/or oil after each season.
