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.

Wash unit after each use to prevent material build-up and corrosion. Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of the season.

Apply small amount of light oil to latches as needed.

After first use, tighten all nuts and bolts on spreader and mount. Grease bearings after every 20 hour’s use.

Vibrator is not designed for continuous duty. Allow motor to cool between long cycle times. Do not modify vehicle or spreader wiring harness. Doing so will void product warranty.

When servicing is necessary, perform it in a protected area Do not use power tools in rain or snow because of danger of electrical shock or injury. Keep area well lighted. Use proper tools. Keep the area of service clean to help avoid accidents.

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 fin adjustment. Use the instructions below as a guide to get the spread pattern you desire.

When the fins are in their center adjustment position, the spread pattern will be mostly centered.

When looking down at the spinner, moving the fins clockwise will adjust the spread pattern toward the left side of the spreader.

When looking down at the spinner, moving the fins counterclockwise will adjust the spread pattern toward the right side of the spreader.

Operating Instructions

INVERTED-V

The SuperMAXX 9300 uses an “Inverted-V” Baffle design over the auger area.This baffle reduces the load on the auger.The

Inverted-V should not be removed unless servicing the unit.

The Secondary Salt Baffle can be removed for spreading Sand/

Salt Mix.

Warning: Always disconnect power source before attempting to remove material baffle.

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 firewall near steering column. Be sure to check for wires and components in the way (both sides of firewall) 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.
