Safety
Before attempting any procedure in this book, these safety instructions must be read and understood by all workers who have any part in the
preparation or use of this equipment.
For your safety warning and information decals have been placed on this product to remind the operator of safety precautions . If anything
happens to mark or destroy the decals, please request new ones from SnowEx.
Remember, most accidents are preventable and caused by human error. Exercising of care and precautions
must be observed to prevent the possibility of injury to operator or others!
Never operate equipment when under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that might alter your
judgment and/or reaction time.
Before working with the spreader, secure all loose tting clothing and unrestrained hair.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when servicing spreader. Failure to do this could result in
serious injury to the eyes.
Never allow children to operate or climb on equipment.
Always check areas to be spread to be sure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area.
Always inspect unit for defects: broken, worn or bent parts, weakened areas on spreader.
Remember it is the owner’s responsibility to communicate information on safe usage and proper
maintenance of all equipment.
Always make sure personnel are clear of areas of danger when using equipment.
Never weld or grind on equipment without having a re extinguisher available.
Inspect the unit periodically for defects. Parts that are broken, missing or worn out must be replaced
immediately. The unit or any part of it can not be altered without prior written permission from the
manufacturer.
Always inspect pins and latches whenever attaching or detaching spreader, and before operation of spreader.
Never exceed 45 m.p.h. when loaded spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking distances may be increased
and handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds above 45 m.p.h.
Never use wet materials or materials with foreign debris with any of these spreaders. These units are
designed to handle dry, clean, free owing material.
Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time. Be aware that all ice melters are hygroscopic and will
attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.

Operating the Spreader
Model # SP-575V
SPREADER LOADING
WARNING – Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for dry
materials.
Material Weight Per Cubic Ft.
Rock Salt 80-90 lbs.
Sand/Salt Mix 95-120 lbs.
• Warning – Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.
When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material from freezing.
SPREADER OPERATION
• The variable speed controller has nger-tip dial action, digital system status with warning protection and blast feature.
• To start, press On/Off button on Control Pendant. Press Start/Stop button and Spinner will accelerate to speed set on dial.
• To stop, press Start/Stop button. Press On/Off button to turn off Spreader
• Adjust speed of Spinner using dial in center of Control Pendant
• If more material is needed in certain areas, press the Blast button to give maximum power.
SPREADING TIPS
• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
• Never exceed 10 miles per hour when spreading.
• For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.
• For a heavier pass, drive slower.
• Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
LICENSE PLATE INSTALLATION (IF REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAWS)
• You will need (2) 1/4-20 X 1/2” machine screws along with nylock type nuts (not included with spreader)
• Install license plate to mounting holes provided in hopper apron (see illustration below)

Spreader Maintenance
Model # SP-575V
• WARNING – When servicing is necessary, perform it in a protected area Do not use power tools in rain or snow because of danger of electrical
shock or injury. Keep area well lighted. Use proper tools. Keep the area of service clean to help avoid accidents.
• WARNING: Never remove spreader with material in hopper.
• WARNING: Disconnect electricity to spreader before servicing.
• CAUTION: – When replacing parts use only original manufacturer”s parts. Failure to do so will void warranty.
• CAUTION: – The controller is a solid state electronic unit and is not serviceable. Any attempt to service will void warranty.
• CAUTION: - There are no serviceable parts in the motor/transmission assembly. Any attempt to service will void warranty.
• CAUTION: - Spinner motor is not designed for continuous duty. Allow motor to cool between long cycle times.
• CAUTION: – When pressure washing motor enclosure area, stay at least 36’’ away from motor enclosures.
• ATTENTION: Store control in cool dry place during the off season.
• Use dielectric grease on all electrical connections to prevent corrosion at the beginning and end of the season and each time power plugs are
disconnected.
• Wash unit after each use to prevent material build-up and corrosion.
• Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of the season.
• Apply small amount of light oil to latches as needed.
• If motor cover is removed for any reason, use silicone sealant to ensure weather proong of enclosure.
• After rst use, tighten all nuts and bolts on spreader and mount.

General Wiring Instructions
Model # SP-575V
Step 1: Route Vehicle Harness Assembly and route from the rear of vehicle to front. Route harness along frame and attach to frame holes and
frame supports. It is not recommended to attach to fuel or brake lines for obvious reasons. Do not route close to exhaust system or
engine, even though Snowex uses high temperature wiring, it still could melt under extreme heat and short the spreader electrical
system, as well as the vehicle electrical system.
Step 2: Mount rear plug on bumper using supplied bolts, locate towards the center of the bumper to reduce the amount of debris it catches from
the tires. Important: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the plug.
Step 3: Secure harness from the rear to the front using heavy duty ty-wraps or frame clips along the frame and lighter duty ty-wraps everywhere
else.
Step 4: Find a location along the rewall where the Control Module can be attached. Mount Control Module to rewall with included hardware.
Step 5: Connect Harness to Control Module and to Vehicle Battery.
Step 6: Drill a hole in the rewall or use an existing hole; Route Data Cable from Control Module into the cab. Secure as needed to prevent the
Data Cable getting caught in moving parts.
Step 7: Plug Control Pendant into Data Cable. Push “ON” Button to test for power.
Step 8: Stick Hook-and-Loop (“Velcro”) to back of Pendant and to Dash.

IMPORTANT: Do Not modify harness length. Any modications will void warranty.
Special Notes:
1) All external connections must have dielectric grease.
2) Read lead labels before attaching to power source or ground.
3) No other devices may be spliced into wiring harness.
4) Any repairs to wiring harness must be done with heat shrink butt connectors.
