Fig. 2
30° - 45°
Vertical
15.0° - 35° Horizontal
legs of the spreader make contact with truck’s bed. Measure
the distance from the front of the truck bed to front of the
hopper's front legs. Fabricate spacer to fit between front of
the spreader and front of the bed per Fig. 2.
E. Center the spreader from side to side on the vehicle.
Securely strap the spreader to the truck using four ratchet
straps as shown (Fig. 3). Front straps must be attached
to anchor points located in front of the spreader to create
longitudinal stability for the spreader. Rear straps must be
tightened evenly to secure the spreader in the middle of the
truck. Crisscross straps can be used.
Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the factory installed
anchor points are designed for tie-down of such load. Inspect
straps and hardware after each time spreader is loaded. Tighten
straps and hardware if necessary.

USING BOTH LATCHES
C. Apply dielectric grease or similar compound to connectors
before assembly. Connect the round connector on the wire har-
ness to the round connector on the controller.
D. Lay out path for the power cable in the truck’s engine compart-
ment. Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one to pass the
wire harness. Passing the power cable from inside of the cab to the
battery is recommended to protect the large high amperage con-
nector. Do not route the power cable close to exhaust system!
E. Connect power cable connector to controller.
F. Connect the power cable ring terminals to the truck battery
(fig. 6).
2. Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A. Attach the Chute Assembly to the spreader, by hooking
the chute to the spreader by openings in the chute handle.
B. Rotate the Chute into operating position and lock using
two spring latches.
WARNING
Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electri-
cal wiring, etc that may be damaged by drilling.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when working around an operating
vehicle engine.
ATTENTION
Do not connect black (negative) wire to any part of vehicles
frame. Connect this terminal to battery’s negative terminal.
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
3. Install Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness (See Fig. 6).
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 ensure good performance of your spreader, check the condi-
tion 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.
CAUTION
Do not mount controller in way of air bag deployment
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.

3. Material must never be left in hopper for an extended
period of time. Material will absorb moisture, bind, hard-
en and could prevent spreader from proper operation or
may damage the spreader. Empty and clean after each
use.
4. The SHPE0750 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
illuminate. The auger will accelerate to full speed for 2 seconds,
then slow down to dialed speed. The spinner will accelerate to
full speed for 2 seconds, then slow down to dialed speed.
5. To activate the vibrator press the vibrator switch ON. Vibrator
switch will illuminate.
6. To stop the spreader, push ON-OFF switch to OFF position.
7. The controller will turn off after 45 minutes of inactivity.
Controller Warnings
Check controller instruction sheet for latest controller updates
and troubleshooting codes. Controller instruction sheet is inside
controller shipping box.
Thoroughly clean any tarnish or corrosion from battery
terminals.
DO NOT CONNECT WIRE HARNESS TO DAMAGED
OR CORRODED TERMINALS! IT MAY RESULT IN
OVERHEATING, LOST POWER AND POTENTIAL
CONTROLLER DAMAGE!
G. See controller instructions for latest updated and error
codes.
H. Attach utility light kit (optional) to spreader hopper in desired
location. Connect as shown in Fig. 6. Use utility light kit part
number 3018009.
Spreader Operation
1. Different materials absorb moisture at different rates and
some materials may not perform as desired. Substitution
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.

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.
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.8. 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 cen-
ter. See Fig.7.
WARNING
Always disconnect power when servicing spreader.
3. Lubricate bearing every 7-10 hours of operation using
general automotive grease.
4. Inspect terminals/connectors every time you disconnect
spreader from wire harness. Apply thin layer of dielectric grease
on terminals. If any tarnish/corrosion is found, clean terminals
and apply dielectric grease.
5. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connectors before an
electrical connection is made or after connector is disconnected
6. Grease and spray with lubricant Auger bearing after every 20
hours of use.
7. Empty the spreader of all ice control materials when not in
use. Wash out the spreader to prevent material builds up.
