OPERATING THE SPREADER
Variable Speed (PWM) Control
1. Power Switch - used to start and stop the spinner.
The power OFF position switch operates as
emergency stop when required.
2. Speed Dial - used to change the speed of the
spinner.
3. Indicator Lights - indicate whether the spinner is in
motion. Left light is red and indicates a fault. Right
light is green and indicates power is on.
Starting the Motor with Variable Speed
(PWM) Control
1. To start the spreader motor, press the power switch
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.
2. To increase the speed of the spinner rotate the
speed dial clockwise.
3. To decrease the speed of the spinner rotate the
speed dial counterclockwise.
Stopping the Motor with Variable Speed
(PWM) Control
1. Set the power switch to the OFF position to stop
the motor. The power switch will remain in this
position. This is also the emergency stop position.
NOTE: Always place the cover on 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 the
material.
NOTE: The truck ignition must be on to start the
spreader.
NOTE: If the truck ignition is turned off while the
spreader is running, the motor will stop.
