OPERATING PROCEDURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Hiniker spreaders are capable of dispersing a
variety of dry materials for control of ice on road-
ways, walkways and parking lots.
Vehicle load carrying capacity limits the maxi-
mum load that can be safely transported, which
could be less than the volumetric capacity of the
spreader. Check the vehicle’s load rating certi-
cation sticker and DO NOT overload the vehicle
beyond its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Spread-
ers are recommended to be mounted on trucks
over 8,500 lb. GVWR.
Use the following tables to calculate vehicle pay-
load when material is loaded in the spreader.

Calculate total material weight by multiplying
pounds per cubic yard by cubic yards of mate-
rial.
Local, state and federal regulations may require
flashing lights, center high mounted stop light,
or other additional equipment for operation on
public roadways. It is the owners responsibil-
ity to know and follow laws as they apply in his
area.
Always examine the spreader for worn or dam-
aged components prior to operation. During
operation, listen for unusual noise from the
spreader that might indicate component failure.
Never run a machine in need of repair.
Start the spreader for a short period of time be-
fore loading material to test for proper function
of moving parts.
After loading, run the spreader in an isolated
area, clear of people, to become familiar with
the controls and to verify the correct spread pat-
tern. Adjust deflectors on the discharge chute to
achieve the desired spread.
WARNING: Stop the conveyor and set
the vehicle parking brake before leav-
ing the vehicle to make adjustments.
If loading the hopper the night before an im-
pending snowfall or ice storm, park the spreader
indoors, if possible, to help prevent freeze-up of
material before morning.
4 Operating Procedures

Operating Procedures 5
Sander Control Box
The spreader cab control consists of a power/
kill switch, a start switch, a throttle speed con-
trol switch, and a clutch on/off switch.
DWG. NO. 3184
Before starting the engine, check that the clutch
switch is in the OFF position.
To start the engine, first turn the power switch
to RUN, then hold the throttle control switch at
INCREASE for 3 seconds to choke the engine.
Hold the start switch at START until the engine
is running.
IMPORTANT: Do not hold the start switch
for longer than 15 seconds at a time when
attempting to start the engine. Allow the
starter motor to cool for 2 minutes between
attempts.
Once the engine has started, move the throttle
control switch to DECREASE until the engine
runs at the desired speed.
IMPORTANT: Prolonged operation of the en-
gine at full or partial choke may cause pre-
mature engine wear or failure due to gaso-
line diluted oil or fouled spark plug.
The engine can also be started by using the re-
coil starter with the power switch in the RUN
position.
CAUTION: If the battery has been re-
moved and machine is to be hand
started, be sure the positive cable
(red) at the battery end has the terminal
taped to prevent sparking to ground when
the engine is running.
The electric clutch can be engaged or disen-
gaged at any engine speed. However, since
engagement time and torque is almost instanta-
neous, to prevent premature spinner chain fail-
ure and chain tension loss, it is recommended
that the electric clutch be engaged at the lowest
possible engine speed without killing the en-
gine.
Burnishing the clutch is necessary to achieve
rated torque capacity. Never perform burnishing
while drive is loaded. New clutches and clutches
that have not been used for a long time, should
be burnished before full load operation by the
following procedure:
1. Rotate the clutch and check for rubbing or
interference. Reinstall chain, do not over
tighten.
2. Run at 50% throttle.
3. Engage and disengage the clutch 25 times.
(10 seconds on/10 seconds off).
4. Increase to 75% throttle.
5. Engage and disengage the clutch 25 times.
(10 seconds on/10 seconds off).
Disengage the clutch and move the power
switch to the STOP position when done using
the spreader.

6 Operating Procedures
2. Deflector Positions:
The three external deflectors control the
size of the spread.
DWG. NO. 6020
Raising any of the three external deflectors
at the bottom of the discharge chute will pro-
duce a wider, thinner distribution of material to
that same side. Adjust the various speeds and
settings one at a time to produce the desired
spread pattern.
SWING AWAY CHUTE
Hiniker spreaders are equipped with a swing
away chute making cleaning of the hopper and
storage much easier. The swing away chute is
for clean out and storage only. Do not drive mo-
tor vehicle with swing away chute open or not
fully engaged in its working position.

DWG. NO. 6021
SPREAD CONTROL
Thickness of material cover is controlled by four
variables:
1. Feedgate Setting:
Raising or lowering the feedgate will in-
crease or decrease the amount of mate-
rial delivered to the spinner for any given
conveyor speed. Gate openings range from
3/8” to 4 1/4”.
DWG. NO. 6019
To set the feedgate position loosen the nut
at location 1. Use the feedgate handle to
move the feedgate into the desired posi-
tion. Lock the handle into position by re-
tightening the nut.
2. Conveyor Speed:
A faster conveyor speed will deliver more
material to the spinner.
3. Truck Speed:
The slower the vehicle travels, the more
material covers the ground.
4. Width of Spread:
A wide spread pattern produces a thinner
material cover.
Spread width is controlled by two variables:
1. Spinner Speed (determined by conveyor
speed):
A faster spinner speed produces a wider
pattern.

Operating Procedures 7
SHORT SPINNER OPERATION
To utilize this option pull the pin at location 1

MOUNTING THE SPREADER
1. Remove the tailgate from the truck according
to instructions from the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING: Never attempt to lift a
spreader with material in the hopper.
Verify that the lifting device is capable
of handling at least 1,000 LB. loads before try-
ing to lift the spreader.
2. Lift the spreader by hooking the slot in the
rear-most (toward rear of the truck) hopper
cross member.
The lifting slot is placed at the approximate
balance point of the spreader. Residual mate-
rial, gasoline, oil, battery, top screen, inverted
vee may affect this balance point.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. Center the spreader on the truck with the
rear rails extending about 12-14 inches be-
hind the furthest point of interference (back
of the truck, bumper, trailer hitch, etc.) Verify
the rear legs of the spreader rest securely
on the bed of the truck.
Place lumber as needed between the back
of the truck cab and the front of the spread-
er to help hold the sander in position and
protect the truck from damage due to shift-
ing of the spreader.
4. Attach the sander to the truck bed using 3/8”
hardware through the slot in the sanders (4)
legs. Ratchet tie-down straps must be used
to secure the spreaders (4) tie down eyes
located at each corner of the spreader to
the vehicles factory installed anchor points.
Ratchet tie down straps must be used to
properly secure hopper to vehicle. Do not
use cam buckle or other forms of straps
where adequate tension to secure hopper
against load shifting cannot be achieved.
NOTE: Inspect hold-downs and tie down straps
periodically for wear or loosening, and retighten
or repair as required.

Installation Instructions 15
CHUTE ASSEMBLY
DWG. NO. 6032
1. Attach the chute assembly to the spreader
by inserting the long pin through the clevis
and chute hinge at location 1.
Rotate the chute assembly and insert the
pin at location 2. Check and see if the two
shafts are aligned. The slot on the coupler
should be pointing toward the side of the
machine for ease of assembly.
When the shafts are aligned the coupler on
the upper shaft will slide over the bottom
shaft and the spring pin, at location 3, will
engage the slot in the coupler. The bottom
shaft may need to be rotated slightly to align
the slot in the coupler with the spring pin.
2. If the shafts are not aligned, loosen the (4)
nuts at location 4 holding the lower spinner
shaft bearings to the chute. Slide the bot-
tom shaft until it is aligned with the top shaft
and the coupler engages the spinner shaft
spring pin.
Again, when the shafts are aligned, the cou-
pler on the upper shaft will slide over the
bottom shaft and the spring pin will engage
the slot in the coupler. The bottom shaft
may need to be rotated slightly to align the
slot in the coupler with the spring pin.
Check that the bottom shaft is vertical be-
fore retightening all hardware.
INSTALLATION OF
CAB CONTROL & ELECTRICAL WIRING
Use the bracket and hardware provided to
mount the cab control box at a convenient loca-
tion for the operator.
Connect the extension cable to the engine har-
ness. Route the extension cable along the RH
side of the hopper.
Determine the best location for running the ex-
tension cable into the truck cab. If a hole must
be drilled to pass the cable through the cab wall,
protect wires from sharp edges around the hole
with a grommet.
Connect the cab control box cable to the exten-
sion cable for operation of the spreader.
