Before starting the motor, be sure all
personnel and equipment are clear of the
discharge area.
Spinner Indicator Lights

(left) light is on, the power is on and the motor is
not running.

to the START/BLAST position and release. This is
a momentary position and the power switch will
automatically return to the ON position when
released. The spreader will operate at the speed
selected on the speed dial.
Right light is green and indicates power is on.

the controller and the motor is running.

the motor. The power switch will remain in this
position.
If there are problems while operating the spreader, refer
to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
NOTE: The truck ignition must be on to start the
spreader.
NOTE: Always place the vinyl cover over the
hopper to prevent moisture buildup. Do not let
the spreader sit idle with material in the hopper
for an extended period of time. This can cause
the material to compact and reduce or stop the
flow of material.
NOTE: If the truck ignition is turned off while the
spreader is running, the motor will stop.
