1. The spreader can be used with or without the deflector. With
the deflector the overall swath width will be approximately 24” to
30”. Without the deflector the spreader will throw most ice melt
products 10 feet or more .
2. Always fill the spreader on the driveway or sidewalk-not on
the lawn. Make sure screen is in hopper and spreader is in the
“OFF” position .
3. Start spreader moving before opening port. Close before
stopping. Always push spreader, never pull.
OPERATION
4. old handle so top of spreader is level. Tipping the
spreader too far can cause uneven spreading.
5. When transporting spreader, make sure that it is in the
“OFF” position. Make sure handle lever is locked using the
hitch pin through the hole in lever.
6. Empty spreader after each use. Return leftover material to
its original container.
1. Never store unused material in spreader. Return unused product
to its original container.
2. Wash spreader thoroughly after each use and dry completely in
sun or heated area.
3. Grease axle bearings in frame. Oil the impeller shaft bearing in
hopper, pivot points on the shut-off plate.
4. Remove gear cover and wash gears thoroughly. Oil all bearing
areas and lubricate gear teeth with dry graphite or oil. Re-install
gear cover.
5. Gear mesh should be checked on a regular basis during high
use periods. Clearance between the axle gear and pinion gear
should be minimal but not tight. If adjustment is necessary, loosen
axle collar set screw and hold gears together. Slide axle collar
against the gear support and tighten axle collar set screw. Spin drive
wheel. Gears should run freely and smoothly. Re-install gear cover
when finished .
6. Impeller surface should be cleaned periodically to remove build-
up of product. Build-up can cause the spread pattern to change.
7. Tire pressure should be 20-25 PSI.
