Spreader Operation
1. SHPE2000 spreader is equipped with a dual
independent speed Controller with warning lights
and a Vibrator switch. To start the spreader, press
the ON-OFF switch. Switch will illuminate. The
auger will accelerate to full speed for 2 sec., then
slow down to dialed speed. The spinner will accel-
erate to full speed for 2 sec., then slow down to
dialed speed.
2. To activate the Vibrator press the Vibrator
switch ON. Vibrator switch will illuminate.
3. To stop the spreader push ON-OFF switch to
OFF position.
Material Flow Adjustments
Always use screen during spreader operation!
Various materials have different moisture absorp-
tion rate, some materials may not perform as de-
sired. Therefore, the substitution of the alternate
material may be necessary for optimum perfor-
mance.
SHPE2000 has two discharge openings in the
bottom of the hopper. Material flow through these
openings can be controlled using two sliding
baffles. The spreader is shipped from the factory
with baffles adjusted for dry bagged salt. In this
setting rear baffle has 4.0” opening and baffle in
the middle of the hopper has 2.5” opening.
However if you are using a sand/salt mixture or
any chunky and hard to flow materials, it is advised
to increase the open portion of discharge openings.
Important!
Always open rear (closer to gear motor compart-
ment) opening first. Always turn off power before
adjusting baffles!
Warning lights.
Salt Dogg Controller has two warning lights:
“Overload” and “Jam”. The “Overload” light will
be illuminated when the auger is in “Unclogging”
mode. In this mode auger will automatically
reverse several times to free itself. If the auger will
not be able to unclog itself, the “Jam” light will be
illuminated and the Controller will shut-off.
To unclog auger manually, first remove the chute.
Apply 1-1/4” open wrench on auger’s nut. Turn
auger counterclockwise several times.
Salt Dogg controller has an internal circuit breaker
in the vibrator circuit. The vibrator circuit breaker
will trip and the light in the vibrator switch will go
out in an overload situation. To reset the vibrator
circuit breaker: Turn off the vibrator switch for 30
seconds. Turn the vibrator switch on to restart the
vibrator.
Do not run the vibrator longer than 30 minutes with
15 minutes between runs to avoid overheating.
Spreader Maintenance
WARNING! Always disconnect power when
servicing spreader.
1. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connectors
before an electrical connection is made or after con-
nector is disconnected
2. Grease Auger bearing after every 20 hours of
use.
3. Empty the spreader of all ice control materials
when not in use. Wash out the spreader to prevent
material builds up.
4. It is recommended to cover spreader with the
tarp during storage periods. Tarp can be attached
to anchors on both sides of tie downs.
Vibrator is not serviceable. Controller is not
serviceable.
Warning! Never attempt to remove spreader
with material in hopper.
Never leave material in the hopper for extended
period of time. Material may freeze and seriously
damage spreader!
