Introduction
Meyer Products LLC has published this manual to help you get maximum performance
from your Meyer Spreader and familiarize you with the features designed for efciency
and safety; be sure you recognize and understand them. Follow recommended
operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to do so may result in voiding your
warranty.
DO NOT EQUIP ANY VEHICLE WITH A SPREADER WITHOUT CONSULTING VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS’
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Vehicles equipped with Meyer spreaders installed may be so equipped as to meet vehicle manufacturers’
specications and recommended options for material spreading use. Most vehicle manufacturers insist
that vehicles which are to be used for ice control be equipped with certain options and accessories,
and it is so stated in vehicle manufacturer specications for snow plow application.
Your spreader will come equipped with a cover that will protect your de-icing material
from rain or snow; this can be removed simply by detatching the holding clamps
on the sides of the hopper. Always replace cover after lling to prevent saturation
of material from rain or snow.
WARNING: NEVER leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as de-icing materials will attract
atmospheric moisture and may clump together.
CAUTION: Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause perosnal injury. Keep other
persons and animals out of area to be spread.
WARNING: Deployment of an air bag while using a Meyer Spreader will not be covered under Meyer
Products’ warranty. We also recommend that, for optimum performance, vehicles used for ice control
be equipped with:
• Four-Wheel Drive
• Minimum 60 Amp Alternator or larger
• Minimum 70 Amp Battery or larger (550 C.C.A.)
• Mud and Snow Tires
• Increased Radiator Cooling
• Automatic Transmission
• Power Brakes
• Power Steering
Under the continuing Meyer Product Improvement Plan, Meyer Products LLC reserves the right to
change design details and construction without prior notice and without incurring any obligation.

Controller
Installation
The BL Controller is an electronic module powered off the switched ignition circuit +12Vdc and supplying the heavy motor current from the +12Vdc battery circuit.The controller
will only function with the ignition key in the ON state. The controller is connected to the spinner motor and vibration motors via a custom wire harness that is designed to
handle the high motor currents. The controller can be mounted under the vehicle dash using mounting hardware that is provided in the kit. The controller is weatherproof and
can be mounted in areas where it will get wet. The controller includes 5 wires as follows:
1.
Ignition wire Blue (power to the controller through switched ignition).
2. Power wire Red (power to the controller directly from 12V battery).
3.
Output wire White (connects to the spreader motor positive post).
4. Output wire Green (connects to the option 1 vibrator motor).
5.
Ground wire Black (provides ground for the controller).

Controller will only be activated while ignition switch is at ON position. If the unit is wired into a keyed power source. There will be one inline fuse located at the incoming
power wire harness. This will be a 20A automotive ATO fuse. This 20A fuse protects the spreader motor and/or vibrate motor from over current conditions. In the event that
the fuse has opened circuited, replacement of the fuse will be required in order to restore the operation. Fuse replacement is facilitated with a pair of needle nosed pliers. The
controller also has overload protection built into the circuit board. If an overload occurs the green LED above the I/O button will turn red and will begin to ash. To reset, turn
off controller and clear obstruction from spreader then turn controller back on.
The controller will provide the spreader motor with multiple speed options per following:
ON/OFF Depress the button once to enable the spreader motor operation. Spreader motor will automatically be activated with 5 full power Blasts
and then stop. The GREEN LED located above this switch will illuminate.
ON/OFF Depress the button a second time and the spreader motor operation will stop.The GREEN LED located above this switch will stop illuminating.
FASTER Once spreader is activated, by depressing the FASTER button momentarily for the rst time,the motor will start rotating at the lowest speed.
If the button is depressed again, motor will gain speed.Faster button can be depressed momentarily or held depressed to achieve maximum
speed. There are ten programmed speed settings that increase the speed in increments of 10%. The GREEN LED located above the I/O
button will ash in unison with the speed setting. The fastest speed causes the GREEN LED to ash at a rate of 10 ashes every second.
SLOWER By depressing the SLOWER button, the motor speed will decrease. There are ten programmed speed settings that decrease the speed in
increments of 10%. SLOWER button can be depressed momentarily or held depressed to slow down the motor until it comes to a halt.
The LED located in the centerwill provide a number for the speed setting. 1 is slowest and 10 is fastest.
VIBRATE
(On/Off)
Depress the button once to enable the vibrate motor operation. The GREEN LED located above this switch will illuminate at full intensity.
VIBRATE
(On/Off)
Depress the button a second time and the vibrate motor operation will stop. The GREEN LED located above this switch will stop
illuminating.

Blaster Receiver Mount
The Blaster 350/350S/750R/750RS is a dedicated 2" receiver hitch mount salt spreader. Prior to installation, be certain that the vehicle receiver is in good working order, is rated for at
least a 500 lb. (227kg) tongue load, and is fastened to the vehicle securely.
CAUTION - The spreader is a large heavy item that should be installed with an assistant. As with any new equipment installation read and understand all instructions prior to starting
the job, and do not hurry through it. A correct installation now can save time and money later.
1. Using an assistant remove the spreader unit and all loose components from the packaging and set cover aside until installation is complete. Retain original packaging for storage purposes.
Locate the large hitch pin and cotter clip (40) from the hardware package. Set these items aside, as they will be used later during the installation.
2. Inspect the vehicle's receiver tube and check for rust, dirt, or foreign debris that may have collected in it. If there are any blockages clean with compressed air and a wire brush.
3. Apply good quality grease to the inside of the receiver tube, this will prevent rusting and make the spreader easier to remove at the end of the season.
4. The framework will have four 1/2-13 x 3” SS Bolts (29) already installed in the mounting holes for the stinger. Remove the 1/2-13 SS Locknuts (30) and 1/2” SS Flatwashers (31) and apply
a light oil to the threads, this will make assembly easier; yet will not affect the locking properties of the safety nuts. Place the hitch assembly over the bolts, replace the nuts and washers
and fully tighten.
5. Lift the spreader unit upright (hopper opening facing up) with mounting tube pointed toward the truck.
6. Slowly slide spreader mounting tube into the vehicles receiver until the through holes in receiver match through holes in spreader. (See note below)
7. Insert the large hitch pin (40) through the receiver tube and spreader mounting tube. Secure with the cotter clip (40). WARNING – The cotter clip (40) must be in place for safe operation.
8. Place the cover over the hopper and secure clamps on left and right sides.
9. Use the Ratchet Tie Down Strap and Tie Down Hooks to tie spreader to vehicle frame to eliminate any rocking of the spreader.
NOTE:
• The spreader mounting tube has two pre-punched hole sets to provide some adjustment when installing the unit.
• Always use the hole set that places the unit closest to the vehicle but without touching it.
•
WARNING – Never attempt to drill new holes in the spreader mounting tube, contact your local trailer hitch supplier about relocating or replacing you current hitch, if mounting problems occur.
