Safety
Before attempting any procedure in this book, the safety information in this manual must be read and understood by all personnel who have
any part in the installation, preparation, transport, service, repair or use of this equipment.
For your protection, safety and information decals have been placed on the spreader to remind the operator of safety precautions and par-
ticular hazards.
Never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Failure to do so will result in unpredictable and unsafe vehicle
handling.
Never attempt to remove the spreader from a vehicle with material in it.
Always have someone to help you remove or install spreader. Use lifting devices such as a forklift or crane
where possible to prevent injury to yourself and others, and damage to the equipment.
Never operate equipment when under the inuence of alcohol, drugs, or medications. These substances alter
your judgement and slow your reactions.
Always keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry, and hair away from moving parts. These items will catch and be
pulled in by moving parts, causing serious personal injury.
Always shut off vehicle before attempting to attach, detach, or service the spreader. Be sure vehicle is prop-
erly braked, chocked, and on level ground.
Use caution when driving and drive at a sensible speed, where braking distances are safe and safe handling
characteristics are maintained.
Before working with the spreader, secure all loose clothing and hair. Clothing and hair could get caught in
moving parts.
Always wear safety glasses with side protection when servicing spreader or near where salt/ice melter is
being spread.
Never allow children to operate or climb/play on or around equipment.
Always make sure people are clear of where you will be using equipment. Always check areas to be spread
to ensure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area.
Inspect the spreader before and after operating for defects. Parts that are broken, missing or worn out must
be replaced before operating.
Do not modify the spreader without written permission from SnowEx. Modifying the spreader or its mount
can affect performance and safety.
Remember most accidents are preventable and caused by human error. Exercise care and observe precau-
tions to prevent injury to yourself and others.
Never use wet materials or materials with foreign debris with the spreader. The spreader is designed to
spread dry, clean, free-owing material.
Never leave material in hopper between storms, or when storing. Ice melters are hygroscopic and will attract
moisture and harden up.
Empty the spreader and clean it after each use to prevent ice melter from building up and covering metal
parts, causing corrosion.

Operating Instructions
Spreading Tips
The application rate, which is the amount of material spread on a given area, depends on three variables – Vehicle Speed, Spinner Speed and
Auger Speed.
For consistency in spreading results, it is best to drive at a constant speed.
The Spinner Speed changes the spread width. This determines how much area the same material fed by the auger will cover.
Auger Speed changes how much material is fed to the spinner. Changing this will change the amount of material being spread in the same
area.
Wider Spread Patterns will spread the same material over a larger area, so the application rate will be decreased unless you increase your
Auger Speed or drive slower. A Narrower Spread Pattern requires the opposite action: a slower Auger Speed or drive faster.
To maintain your application rate with a wider spread pattern, you can increase your auger speed, drive slower, or spread the area twice.
To maintain your application rate with a narrower spread pattern, you can decrease your auger speed or drive faster.

Operating Instructions
Attaching to Vehicle/Adjustable Material Bafes
ADJUSTABLE MATERIAL BAFFLES
ATTACHING TO VEHICLE
If you are using a TPR-020 insert the hitch into your receiver. Lock with Hitch Pin and Clip (included with TPR-020). Plug Spreader Harness
into Vehicle Plug and you are ready to begin spreading.
To attach to your tractor’s three-point hitch, simply back up to the spreader frame (requires F51196 on SP-1675). Lower the hitch until the
lower arms are at the same height as the pins on the frame. Remove the linchpins from the Lift Pin. Slide the arms onto the Pins, and put the
linchpin through the Lift Pin. Tie the top link to spreader frame with the Hitch Pin. Secure with Hitch Clip.
Plug in and begin spreading.
The Precision Pro is equipped with adjustable material bafes inside the hopper. These bafes restrict the ow of salt to the auger. Leave
these bafes at the factory setting until you have run some material through the spreader at different combinations of Auger and Spinner
Speeds. The Bafes may need adjusted when changing to a different spreading material.
Use an 1/2” wrench for the bolts holding the bafes in place. Loosen the bolt to move the bafe.
Adjust the top link so the Spreader is vertical. View of Attachment Points. TPR-020 Hitch Adapter.

Operating Instructions
Adjustable Spinner
When the ns are in their center adjustment position, the spread pat-
tern will be centered (with most materials).
When looking down at the spinner, moving the ns clockwise will
adjust the spread pattern toward the left side of the spreader.
When looking down at the spinner, moving the ns counter-
clockwise will adjust the spread pattern toward the right side of the
spreader.
Your spreader is equipped with an adjustable spinner to assist you in more precise material application. The spinner plate gives the operator
control of whether the material spreads to the right, left or is centered. Before operating the spreader, spread some material in a clear area
where you can easily observe the spread pattern and how it changes with n adjustment. Use the instructions below as a guide to get the
spread pattern you desire. The position of the ns may need changed when using different materials or spinner speeds.

Maintenance Instructions
Cleaning/Corrosion Prevention/Storage
To protect your Precision Pro from corrosion and to increase its useful life, clean it after each storm. By cleaning after each storm, salt build-
up will be less and the salt will be easier to remove. More importantly, it can prevent corrosion.
After each snow storm:
Run the spreader to empty the hopper. Either back up to your salt pile and spread into the pile; or put your spinner on the lowest setting and
your auger on the highest setting until the hopper is empty (this way, the material will come out faster and the spinner will spread it in a
smaller area) and clean up the salt into a bucket or Salt Box.
Turn the spreader control off and unplug the spreader before cleaning. Use water to rinse all of the salt residue away. Pay special attention
to tight areas, enclosures and hard-to reach areas where salt build-up is likely to be a problem. Rinse these areas thoroughly. Avoid directly
rinsing openings in transmissions/motors, such as where a shaft might come out of the housing. Use a car wash brush to clean salt and dirt
that is stuck. Consider using a salt-removal product or spraying your spreader with a cleaning solution before rinsing. Rinse all cleaning solu-
tions off thoroughly with water.
Sweep puddles of water from surfaces of the spreader. Make sure to remove water from the bottom of the hopper so the auger isn’t frozen
when you use your spreader again.
When you are done cleaning, grease bearings; put dielectric grease on plugs. Spray metal parts with a corrosion prevention product or a light
oil. Avoid getting oil on the plastic – this will cause the plastic to degrade.
Corrosion/Rusting is a chemical reaction caused by presence of moisture, salt, and metal. Preventing any one of these ingredients from com-
ing in contact with any other ingredient will prevent corrosion.
Storing the spreader indoors, cleaning the spreader after each use and, lubricating bearings, and spraying oil on the metal will limit moisture
coming into contact with metal and salt. Although it is easier to prevent contact with salt and exposed metal, using a water-displacing oil
(e.g. WD-40) may be useful.
Cleaning your spreader and rinsing thoroughly after each use will help to prevent corrosion by removing the salt. Drying the spreader after
cleaning will also help – a backpack blower can dry it very well.
Rocks and debris thrown up by tires of the vehicle are likely to chip paint or create small scratches that could rust. Exposed metal can be
prevented by spraying a light oil on metal parts after each washing. This will also create a barrier between the spreader and the salt dust that
will stick to the spreader frame, making it easier to clean.
By cleaning and drying your spreader after each use and spraying metal parts with a light oil after each cleaning, you will be able to prevent
most corrosion.
How you store your spreader can have a lot to do with how long it lasts and how well it performs. Store your spreader in a sheltered area,
preferably indoors. If you don’t have the space, elevate it on wooden blocks outside and cover with a tarp. Before putting your spreader away,
perform a very thorough cleaning, lubricate bearings, and spray oil on metal parts. Apply a protective plastic conditioner to the hopper and lid
to protect them from the elements. Instead of oil on the frame, you can use a rust inhibitor spray (read the label before using to make sure it
is not damaging to paint). Put Dielectric Grease on all plugs and connections prior to storage.
