Fig. 6
2. Install Control Box & Vehicle Wiring Harness (Fig. 7).
NOTE: THIS IS A WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM! NO
CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK'S FRAME OR BODY ALLOWED!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO INSTALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON YOUR
VEHICLE.
To insure good performance of your spreader, check the
condition of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter,
check alternator and battery voltage. The voltage reading should
fall between 13.6 and 15.3 volts with engine running, head lights
and heater fan turned on. If voltage reading falls out of this range,
check and adjust your electric system.
A. Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness. Connect
the Wire Harness smaller terminal to the Chute’s harness, large
terminal to the Hopper’s harness. Drill all necessary holes or use
existing ones to pass the round connector into the trucks cab.
Secure harness to truck’s frame.
B. Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck cab.
Do not mount controller directly in front of the heat vents. Allow
ample air space around controller. Protect controller from water,
dirt and dust.

switch will illuminate.
6. To stop the spreader, push ON-OFF switch to OFF position.
Controller Warnings
Check controller instruction sheet for latest controller updates
and troubleshooting codes. Controller instruction sheet is inside
controller shipping box.
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER, DO NOT DISCARD CONTROLLER
INSTRUCTION SHEET. STAPLE SHEET TO SPREADER
MANUAL AND GIVE TO END USER!
Note: To unclog auger manually, first remove the chute. Apply
1¼" open wrench on auger’s nut. Turn auger counterclockwise
several times.
Note: Do not run the vibrator longer than 30 minutes with 15
minutes between runs to avoid overheating.
Material Flow Adjustments
Always use screen during spreader operation! Various
materials have different moisture absorption rate, some
materials may not perform as desired. Therefore, the
substitution of the alternate material may be necessary for
optimum performance.
SHPE1000 has one discharge opening covered with two
adjustable deflectors. To adjust amount of material going
through this opening loose two screws, slide deflectors to
increase or reduce opening exposure. It is recommended
Thoroughly clean battery terminals. Make sure battery
terminals have no tarnish or corrosion.
DO NOT CONNECT WIRE HARNESS TO DAMAGED
OR CORRODED TERMINALS! IT MAY RESULT IN
OVERHEATING, LOST POWER AND POTENTIAL
CONTROLLER DAMAGE!
G. Attach utility light (optional) to spreader hopper in desired
location. Connect as shown in Fig. 7. Use utility light kit part
number 3018009.
H. See controller instructions for latest updates and error
codes.
Spreader Operation
1. Different materials absorb moisture at different rates and
some materials may not perform as desired. Subsitution
of an alternative material may be necessary for optimum
performance.
2. When filling hopper use the supplied screen to prevent large
chunks of material and debris in the material to get into hopper
and cause damage.
3. Material must never be left in hopper for an extended
period of time. Material will absorb moisture, bind, harden
and could prevent spreader from proper operation or may
damage the spreader.
4. The SHPE1000 spreader is equipped with a dual independent
speed controller with warning indicators and a vibrator switch.
To start the spreader, press the ON-OFF switch. Switch will

Spread Pattern Adjustment
Spread pattern can be adjusted by changing spinner disc speed
on controller by turning Spinner knob to desired speed level
from 1 (low) to 9 (high). Direction of material spread can also be
adjusted by rotating shield on chute assembly. To rotate shield
lose 2 wing nuts, rotate shield in desired direction, and retighten
wing nuts. See Fig.9. Make sure that after adjustment, bracket
stays inside shield groove located on top of shield. In addition,
chute assembly can be adjusted to lighter (drier) and heavier
(more moist) materials. Use different holes on bracket for lighter
or heavier materials to have material drop on spinner disc
center. See Fig.9.
WARNING
Never remove spreader with material in hopper.
End of Season Maintenance
1. Wash spreader. Make sure no material or residue is left in and
outside the hopper.
