3. SPEED CONTROL LEVER:
The speed control lever limits the forward speed of the
unit by limiting the travel of the forward control lever.
“Application speed” sets the unit’s ground speed to
about 3 mph. Use a slower speed while learning how
to use and control the unit.
4. GROUND SPEED CONTROL LEVERS:
Located on the right side of the control panel is the
forward ground speed control lever. The left lever is for
reverse. These two levers control the maximum output
of the hydrostatic transaxle and thus the ground speed
of the spreader independent of the engine speed.
Pulling the right lever rearward increases the forward
speed and pulling the left lever rearward Increases the
reverse speed. Do not move both levers in unison, only
pull one at a time. When the levers are moved in unison
they will place excessive pressure on the cables,
which could cause them to break. To start the engine,
ensure both levers are in their neutral position.
5. HOPPER SHUT-OFF LEVER:
Open and close the hopper gate by pushing the lever
forward to open the gate, and pulling the lever rearward
to close the gate.
6. ACCUWAY SPREAD CALIBRATION LEVER:
To adjust spread pattern for uniform distribution, adjust
the Accuway. See Accuway Spreader Pattern
Adjustment Section for instructions.
7. SIDE DEFLECTOR
Raise and lower the side deector by pushing the lever
forward to lower the deector, and pulling the lever
rearward to raise the deector.
8. FREEWHEEL ROD:
A rod is located in the platform area. When the rod is
pulled out, the spreader can be manually pushed
forward or pulled in reverse. Push rod in to engage
transmission.
9. PARKING BRAKE:
The brake is activated by the lever in the foot platform
area. Press down on the lever to engage the park
brake, and lift up the lever to release. (See Figure 5).
B. INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
1. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. Check the drive wheel tire pressures. Drive wheels
should be inated to 15 psi. Front wheels are foam-
lled and do not need to be inated.
3. Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
4. Lubricate all ttings listed in the maintenance section.
5. Follow start procedure in Break-In and Operation
Section Step 5.
6. Push freewheel rod in and disengage parking brake.
Ensure that the ground speed control levers are in the
neutral position. The machine should stand still while
the engine is running. If the machine starts to creep
forward or to the rear in this situation, then the forward
or rear speed control cable must be adjusted. Locate
the cable nuts underneath the control panel shown in
Figure 6.
7. Loosen the nut on the cable and adjust until the drive
wheel stops moving. Moving the cable towards the
rear of the machine decreases speed, while moving
cable to the front of machine increases speed. Re-
tighten nut.
C. BREAK-IN AND OPERATION
1. Make certain you thoroughly understand all of the
safety precautions before you attempt to operate this
machine.
2. CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL.
Do not screw in oil dipstick to oil ller neck to check oil

SPREADER OPERATION
1. The recommended vehicle operating speed when
spreading is approximately 3 MPH, or slightly faster
than a brisk walk (equal to vehicle traveling 40 ft. in
9 seconds).
2. The rate gate linkage operates the rate gate. The
dial is marked from 0 to 9.9. The rate gate linkage
position determines the amount of material to be
broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the
application of material.
3. The dial is milled out at the 9.9 position. This allows
the rate gate link to go past the 9.9 position and
enables the rate gate to be opened to maximum
distance. This setting can be used for dry sand, dry
organic top dresses, bagged rock salt, and ice melt
products that are normally di󰀩cult to spread.
4. Fill hopper with material. Do not exceed maximum
weight capacity of hopper (See the Specication
Section).
5. Set dial to correct position. If a Spyker dial setting is
not found with broadcast material information, use
the size and weight comparison table found on the
following pages. Determine a dial setting on the low
side. If the setting proves to be too low, cover the
area more than one time. A higher setting can be
used when a proven dial setting is established.
6. Travel to spreading location.
7. Ensure area surrounding spreader is clear of
bystanders.
8. Engage Speed Control Lever to ensure the
speed is 3mph.
9. Push Hopper Shut-O󰀨 Lever to the OPEN position.
10. Evaluate spread pattern.
11. If spread pattern is OK, continue to spread at
recommended speed of 3 MPH.
12. If spread pattern needs to be adjusted, go to
Accuway Spread Pattern Adjustment Section.
13. Pull Hopper Shut-O󰀨 Lever to the CLOSED position.
Close the gate of spreader while still at operational
speed.

SPREADING CHART
Speed, accuracy and a freedom from stripes / streaks
are yours - when you use this Spreader. The spread
width ranges from 6 ft. to 25 ft. wide, depending on the
volume/density, particle size of the material and the
rate of travel. The spread thins or feathers at the outer
edges, eliminating sharp, “Edge of spread” lines which
cause stripes and streaks.
REMEMBER:
Published dial settings can be approximate only. The
operation of the spreader, the condition of the material
(damp, dry or over-pulverized) & weather conditions,
are all contributing factors. For these reasons, it’s
often a good idea to spread the area 2 times - at one-
half rate - in cross directions. Vehicle travel speed
should be 3 MPH.
Read chemical MSDS (Material Safety Data
Sheets) and container label for proper/safe
handling instructions.
• Wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment
