TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY

• 2 x 10mm wrench

• Slotted screwdriver

Frame Assembly - Fig. 1

A. Assemble the frame with fasteners as shown in
Figure 1. Do NOT tighten the fasteners yet.
B. The Support Brackets (16) will be fastened to the
Hopper Support Assembly (3) when the Hopper (4) is
mounted.
C. Tighten all fasteners.

Axle/Gearbox & Hopper Assembly - Fig. 2 & 3

A. Insert the Axle (7) into the frame and through the
Gearbox (5) as shown. IMPORTANT - The end of the
axle with a large hole (for a through bolt) must be on
the left side (standing in front of the spreader – as
shown in Figure 1). The arrow on the Gearbox should
be pointing towards the rear of the spreader.
B. Fasten the Gearbox to the Axle using an M6x40 HH
Cap Screw.
C. Mount the Axle Bushings (19) and Wheels (6A/B)
on both ends of the axle. Mount two Shim Washers
(20) between each wheel and outer bushing. Mount
the additional Shim Washer between the Coast Wheel
(6B) and the Cotter Pin (17). Only the Drive Wheel (6A)
is fixed to the Axle with an M6x45HH Cap Screw. The
Coast Wheel rotates freely on the axle and is retained
by a Shim Washer and Cotter Pin.

IMPORTANT

The Shim Washers and extra Axle Bushings are
critical for proper operation. There should be no
more than 1/16” of endplay when the axle assem­bly is complete. Every assembly should have 4 axle
bushings and 5 shim washers.

D. Lower the Hopper Assembly (4) over the agitator
shaft. The Hopper Supports Bracket (16) are fastened to
the REAR hopper fasteners (M6x50 Machine Screws) as
shown in Figure 2. The Deflector Assembly (12) is fas­tened to the FRONT hopper fasteners (M6x50 Machine
Screws) as shown in Figure 3. The deflector flap posi­tions may be adjusted and locked using the wing nuts.
E. If the agitator shaft on the Gearbox does not align
with the hopper, check the Axle and Gearbox installa­tion direction.
F. Verify that the spinner disk rotates counter-clockwise
when the spreader is pushed forward. If it does not, the
Axle/Gearbox assembly has been installed backwards.

Handle/Control Linkage Assembly - Fig. 4 & 5

A. Carefully insert the Lower Linkage (11) into the

Restrictor Plate underneath the hopper. The Lower
Linkage has two bent ends. The Upper Linkage has
one threaded end. NOTE: The short bent section of the

lower linkage should be parallel with the bottom of
the hopper/restrictor plate.

B. Temporarily remove the Linkage Plate (15) and insert
the other end of the Lower Linkage into the front hole
on the Linkage Plate.
C. Remount the Linkage Plate to the frame. It is impor­tant that it be installed as shown for proper operation.
D. Slide the Handle (8) on to the spreader frame and
set to the desired height by aligning two of the holes
in the handle assembly with holes in the frame. It may
be helpful to LOOSEN the fastener in the Upper Frame
Assembly.
E. Mount the Control Handle Assembly (9) to the select­ed two holes using 2x M6x70 HH Cap Screws.
F. Insert the Upper Linkage (10) into the Control Handle
as shown.
G. Thread one M6 jam nut onto the Upper Linkage and
insert into the Linkage Plate.
H. Adjust the M6 jam nut so that the Restrictor Plate
underneath the hopper is fully open when the Control
Handle is at “30”. Assemble the second jam nut in this
position to lock the linkage in place.
I. Verify that the Restrictor Plate may be fully closed by
pushing the Control Handle forward.

freely. Clear out any debris between restrictor plate and
hopper.

4. Check torque of all fasteners on a monthly basis.

Operation Notes:

CAUTION

When filling hopper, make certain there are no
large objects contained in the material, which can
cause the spreader to clog or damage the gearbox.
Never leave material in the hopper for an extended
period of time.

1. The restrictor plate has three flow holes suitable
for a wide range of de-icing products. The third flow
hole has an adjustable restrictor to eliminate or reduce
its flow. In cases where the product is intended to be
spread in a forward pattern, this hole should be covered.

2. The spreader is designed to be operated at a brisk
walking pace (approximately 3 mph). Walking slower or
faster will alter the distribution pattern and amount of
the product, as will the moisture content of the material
and other environmental factors.

3. Do not attempt to lubricate the gearbox. The gearbox
is lubricated and sealed at the factory to avoid contami­nation.

Final Assembly

A. CHECK AND TIGHTEN ALL FASTENERS – Adjust
frame for alignment as fasteners are being tightened.

B. Install the Plastic Screen (13) into the hopper.
C. Install the Rain Cover (14) over the hopper.

Operation

1. Before filling hopper, ensure that the restrictor plate
is fully closed, i.e. that the control handle is fully for­ward.

2. Move and tighten the stop bolt to the desired setting.

3. Begin moving forward with the spreader

4. Pull the control handle back to the stop bolt

5. Before stopping, push the control handle fully for-

ward to stop flow.

Maintenance

1. The spreader hopper and spinner plate should be
completely emptied and cleaned before storage.

2. The spreader should be washed and dried before
storage.

3. Check that the restrictor plate and linkage move
