Safety Precautions
Never exceed 45 m.p.h. when loaded spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking distances may be reduced
and handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds above 45 m.p.h.
Never use wet materials, or materials with foreign debris in the SP-100.This unit is designed to
handle dry, clean, free-flowing material. Note: Can not spread water softener salt.
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.
Always inspect pins, and latches whenever attaching or detaching spreader, and before traveling.
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 should not be altered without prior written permission from the
manufacturer.

Operating the Spreader
PREPARATION
CAUTION –Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons, children, or animals out
of the area to be spread.
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 35-40 lbs.
•Be sure to comply with manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings.
• Warning– Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and
harden up.
SPREADING TIPS
•Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading.
•For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.
•Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
•Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
•Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
SPREADER OPERATION
SP-100 SPREADER
•Comes standard with electronic speed control with electric gate flow control kit.
•To start, select proper gate stop position, desired starting speed and switch control power on.
•To open gate, engage switch to the left of the control on/off switch, to close gate dis-engage switch.
You will need to adjust speed up or down to achieve a proper pattern when using different material types.

•Be sure all electrical connections are tight and clean.
•Be sure nothing is jammed in the hopper.
Motor doesn’t run.
Controller shut down.
Material not flowing
Gate wont open Frozen/Rusted linkage Lubricate with Moly based product
Solenoid won’t engage Check connections Replace/Repair
Check switch Replace/Repair
Unit burned out Replace
from hopper.
Check all connections.
Replace fuse.
Replace motor.
Carefully clear jammed material.
Clean or replace connectors.
Use dielectric grease.
Check electrical connections.
Check for bare wires.
Replace controller.
Fill hopper.
Replace with dry material.
Replace material.

Spreader Maintenance
•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 – Disconnect electricity to spreader before servicing.
•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 – When replacing parts, use only original manufacturer’s parts. Failure to do so will void warranty.
•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.
•CAUTION – When pressure washing motor enclosure area, stay at least 36'' away from motor enclosures.
•Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of the season.
•If motor cover is removed for any reason, use silicone sealant to ensure weather proofing of enclosure.
•After first use, tighten all nuts and bolts on spreader and mount.
•KEEP GATE LINKAGE LUBRICATED THROUGHOUT USE WITH MOLY BASED LUBRICANTS.
