Operating Instructions
USING CONTROL PENDANT
1. Push On/Off button.
2. Press the Start/Stop button. Auger and Spinner will begin to turn, spreading material.
3. Use dials on Control Pendant to adjust Material Distribution Shaft speed. This will change the spread rate at constant vehicle speed.
4. Press Start/Stop to stop spreading. Turn off Spreader by pushing the On/Off button.
LOADING THE SPREADER
Warning: Do not overload vehicle.
Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of materials are an average for dry materials.
MATERIAL WEIGHT PER CUBIC FOOT
Rock Salt 80-90 lbs.
Sand/Salt Mix 95-120 lbs.
Warning: Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and
harden up.
When spreading Sand/Salt Mix, a 1:1 ratio is recommended to prevent the material from freezing.
SPREADING TIPS
For a heavier pass:
Decrease vehicle speed
Increase Auger speed
For a lighter pass:
Increase vehicle speed
Decrease Auger speed
For a wider pass:
Increase spinner speed
Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
Never exceed 10 miles per hour when spreading.
Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation and other vehicles.
Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
WARNING PROTECTION
• If audible beeping occurs, read display to identify problem.
• If display reads “OL” (overload) or “OH” (overheat), shut the controller down and carefully clear jammed auger.
• If display reads “E1” this means there is a dead short in the system. Do not use until problem is corrected.
• If the display reads “E0” this means the motor is not getting any power. Check all connections.
• If the display reads “LB” the vehicle battery is extremely low (possibly caused by a poor or corroded connection) and could damage the
system.
• If there are any problems while operating the spreader, refer to Troubleshooting Guide.

Operating Instructions
AUTO-REVERSE “AR” FUNCTION
• If your controller displays “OL” this could indicate a jammed auger.
• To engage the Auto-Reverse “AR” Function:
1. Push the On/Off button to turn controller OFF for 3 seconds
2. Push the On/Off button again to turn power ON. When the machine starts back up, the AR sequence will automatically start and
the auger will reverse for several rotations to clear the jam.
• After a pause of several moments, the auger will automatically return to correct rotation. If the jam is still not cleared, the controller will
again display OL.
• You may repeat Steps 1 and 2 for a second and third time.
• If after the third try the controller displays OL, you must extract the material that is causing the problem.
• Follow all warning directions when clearing jams.
MAINTENANCE
Use dielectric grease on all electrical connections to prevent corrosion at the beginning and end of the season and each time power plugs are
disconnected.

Operating Instructions
Adjustable Spinner
Your spreader is equipped with an adjustable spinner to assist you in more precise material application. The Spinner plate gives the operator
control of whether the material spreads to the right, left or is centered. Before operating the spreader, spread some material in a clear area
where you can easily observe the spread pattern and how it changes with n adjustment. Use the instructions below as a guide to get the
spread pattern you desire.
When the ns are in their center adjustment position, the spread pattern will be mostly centered.
When looking down at the spinner, moving the ns clockwise will
adjust the spread pattern toward the left side of the spreader.
10 © TrynEx International 2014 (REV C) F50718
When looking down at the spinner, moving the ns counter-
clockwise will adjust the spread pattern toward the right side of the
spreader.
Operating Instructions
INVERTED-V
The SuperMAXX 9300 uses an “Inverted-V” Bafe design over
the auger area. This bafe reduces the load on the auger.The
Inverted-V should not be removed unless servicing the unit.
The Secondary Salt Bafe can be removed for spreading Sand/
Salt Mix.
Warning: Always disconnect power source before attempt-
ing to remove material bafe.
AUGER DISCHARGE TROUGH
The SuperMAXX 9300 uses an Auger Discharge Trough to reduce
material leakage. It must not be removed unless servicing the
unit.
Warning: Always disconnect power source before attempting to remove auger discharge tube.

Wiring Instructions
1. Mount rear plug bracket on back of vehicle using supplied bolts. Locate toward center of bumper as it will reduce the amount of debris
that gets onto the plug.
2. Mount vehicle harness plugs to bumper bracket that was just installed. [The Power Harness Plug will need to be removed and mounted to
the bracket, then re-connected to the wires.] Apply dielectric grease to plugs.
3. Route wires from back to front using ty-wraps or clamps (not supplied). Do not secure to brake lines, fuel lines, or near exhaust, engine or
moving parts. Use the heavy-duty ty-wraps along frame and the lighter duty ty-wraps everywhere else.
4. Drill a 7/8” hole in the rewall near steering column. Be sure to check for wires and components in the way (both sides of rewall) before
drilling the hole.
5. Run the Data Cable into cab. Zip-tie wire under dash so it does not get in the way of brake or accelerator pedal. Leave enough of the Data
Cable outside of the dash so operator can hold control pendant in hand. Install the Pendant Mounting Base and Bracket. Stick hook/loop
fastener to the Pendant and Pendant Base.
6. Splice the short wire on the Vehicle Data Cable into the Third Brake Light Circuit of the vehicle.
7. Route power wires over to battery. Install circuit breaker and connect to battery.
