Yearly maintenance checklist (e.g. before or after putting your spreader away for storage)
Clean the hopper carefully inside and out with water, before putting it in storage. Avoid spraying
water into bearings, motor and electrical connections.
Clean and apply dielectric grease on all electrical plugs and connectors. Clean and install all
dust caps before placing your spreader in storage

MAINTENANCE
15
IceStrikerTM
Applytotheserecommendationsbeforeplacingyourspreaderino-seasonstoragetomaintainit
in a good condition.
• Cover your spreader using a tarp during storage periods
• Apply a protective compound such as dielectric grease on all electrical connectors and use caps
for protection before storage.
• Disconnect and remove the control unit from your vehicle. Store it in a dry and cool place, and
protect it from heat and moisture.
• Empty the hopper, remove all kinds of debris and clean the hopper from dirt before storage.
• Protect the hopper from excessive heat during storage periods.
Storage
IMPORTANT:
It is strongly recommended and of great importance that you
regularly apply dielectric grease on all electrical connections
and protect them with caps when not in use to prevent corrosion.
Always keep caps on when
the cables are not connected
or in use.
To prevent corrosion, use
dielectric grease on electrical
connectors before connecting
them.
While cables are connected,
also connect matching caps to
protect them from dirt and dust.
