Safety
Never exceed 45 m.p.h. when loaded spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking distances may be
increased and handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds above 45 m.p.h.
Never use wet materials, or materials with foreign debris with any of these spreaders. These units are
designed to handle dry, clean, free-owing material. Note: Can not spread water softener salt.
Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time. Be aware that all ice melters are hygroscopic
and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.
Always inspect pins and latches whenever attaching or detaching spreader, and before traveling.
Inspect the unit periodically for defects. Parts that are broken, missing, or worn out must be replaced
immediately. The unit or any part of it can not be altered without prior written permission from the
manufacturer.

• Warning – Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric
moisture and harden up.
SPREADING TIPS
• Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading.
• For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.
• Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
