DETERMINING VEHICLE PAYLOAD
WARNING
Overloading could result in an accident or
damage. Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR
ratings as found on the driver-side door
cornerpost of the vehicle. See Loading
section to determine maximum volumes of
spreading material.
1. Install the hopper spreader and optional
equipment according to the Installation
Instructions.
2. Install or attach any other equipment that will be
on the vehicle while the hopper spreader will be in
use (step bumper, trailer hitch, snowplows, etc.).
Fill gas tanks.
3. Obtain the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (FGAWR), and
Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (RGAWR) from
the certication label located inside the driver-side
door jamb or door.
4. With the occupants in the truck for normal hopper
spreader operation, weigh the vehicle to obtain
gross vehicle weight (GVW).
5. Subtract the GVW from the GVWR to determine
the available material payload.
6. Obtain the weight per cubic yard (lb/yd3) or cubic
meter (kg/m3) of the desired material. Divide the
weight into the payload to determine the maximum
volume of material that can be carried.
7. Refer to the Load Volume table and diagrams to
determine the maximum ll level for the material.
8. Fill the hopper with material to the calculated level.
Reweigh the vehicle with occupants and verify that
the Loaded Gross Vehicle Weight, Front Gross
Axle Weight, and Rear Gross Axle Weight are less
than the vehicle's ratings.
9. Repeat Steps 6–8 for each type of material.

ignition is turned to ACC or ON. Once the control
has power it performs a light check and displays the
software version on the status display. The control
then checks for a connected spreader. If no spreader
is detected, the control does the following:
• nC (no connection) appears on the red status
display for ve seconds;
• A single beep;
• Control enters Standby mode with no lights
illuminated.
If any button is pressed on the control, it will wake and
check again for spreader connection. If no spreader is
detected, it will act as described above. If a spreader
is detected, it will transition to Ready mode.

OPERATING THE SPREADER
Starting and Stopping Spreader
WARNING
Before starting the spreader, the driver shall
verify that all bystanders are a minimum of
25 feet (7.62 m) away from operating spreader.
To start the spreader, press the ON/OFF button. The
control backlights are illuminated when the vehicle
ignition is ON and the spreader is connected. When
the spreader is ON, the ON/OFF button and inner arc
around each control knob will also illuminate.
To stop the spreader, press the ON/OFF button
again.
The ON/OFF button also operates as an emergency
stop when required.
NOTE: The vehicle ignition must be ON to start
the spreader.
NOTE: If vehicle ignition is turned OFF while
spreader is running, the motors will stop.
Controlling Material Application
The material application settings can be adjusted
while spreader is ON or OFF. Settings are shown by
the indicator lights around the control knobs. When
the spreader is OFF, a single LED will light to show the
current setting. When the spreader is ON, the number
of blue LEDs illuminated will increase/decrease as the
knobs are turned clockwise/counterclockwise.
The hopper drive will not deliver material until the ON
button is pressed.
The Material Width (left) knob controls spinner speed.
Turning the knob clockwise will increase the width of
the application area.
The Material Flow (right) knob controls the hopper
drive. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the
feed rate of material to the spinner.
Turning the control knobs counterclockwise will
decrease the width of the application area and the
feed rate of material, respectively.
BLAST/Maximum Application
1. Press and hold the BLAST button when maximum
ow rate and application area are needed
temporarily. The BLAST button will illuminate
while depressed.
2. Release the button when maximum application
settings are no longer needed.
NOTE: Spinner speed and material feed rate revert
to the previous settings once the BLAST button
is released.
