OPERATING THE SPREADER
Driving and Spreading on Snow and Ice
CAUTION
Drinking and then driving or spreading is very dangerous. Your reflex, perceptions, attentiveness and judgement can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You can have a serious or even fatal collision if you drive after drinking. Please do not drink then drive or spread ice control materials.
Follow your vehicle owner’s manual instructions for driving in snow and ice conditions. Remember when you drive on snow or ice, your wheels will not get good traction. You cannot accelerate as quickly, turning is more difficult and you will need longer braking distance.
Wet and hard packed snow or ice offers the worst tire traction. It is very easy to lose control. You will have difficulty accelerating. If you do get moving, you may have poor steering and difficult braking which can cause you to slide out of control.
Here are some tips for driving in these conditions.
• Drive defensively.
• Do not drink, then drive or spread ice control materials
• Spread or drive only when you have good visibility for operating a vehicle.
• If you cannot see well due to snow or icy conditions, you will need to slow down and keep more space between you and other vehicles.
• Slow down, especially on higher speed roads. Your headlamps can light up only so much road ahead.
• If you are tired, pull off in a safe place and rest.
• Spreader size reduces driver visibility to the rear of the vehicle due to spreader size and location. We recommend OSHA compliant backup alarm for all governed employers.
• Keep your windshield and all glass on your vehicle clean to see around you.
• Dress properly for the weather. Wear layers of clothing, as you get warm you can take off layers.
Accessory Circuit
The yellow wire in the vehicle harness is provided for accessory use of 12 amps or less.

Preseason Check
Before the unit is placed in service for the ice control season make sure that it is in top working condition.
Here are some tips for getting your spreader ready.
Remove the motor cap assembly and inspect the following:
1. Check the condition of the drive belt. Any cracks or damaged teeth indicate the need for a new belt.
See Drive Belt Replacement in this section.
2. Check the motor connection terminals for damage or corrosion. Clean or replace as necessary and coat with dielectric grease.
3. Check the condition of the drive shaft bearings by first removing the drive belt. To remove the drive belt see Drive Belt Replacement in this section. With the drive belt removed spin the drive shaft by hand.
Any excess noise or roughness in either the top or the bottom bearing may indicate bearing failure.
April 1, 2005 14
4. If bearings pass inspection be sure to thoroughly grease them with a good quality multi-purpose grease. See Bearing Maintenance in this section.
5. Verify all drive sprocket set screws are tight. Verify that all other fasteners are tight. Refer to the Torque
Chart in the safety section of this manual.
6. Check the condition of the motor cap assembly seal. This seal is very important to the dependability of your unit. Replace the seal if needed.
7. Check the condition of the spinner disk. If the vanes are excessively worn the unit may not spread as intended. Replace the spinner if necessary.
8. Replace the motor cap assembly and locknuts.
9. Verify vehicle stoplights and spreader center high mounted stoplight are working properly.
Postseason Maintenance
Before storing the unit for the off season, taking a few minutes to do the following will extend the service life of your spreader.
1. Thoroughly clean the unit inside and out.
2. Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connections to prevent corrosion.
3. Grease the drive shaft bearings.
4. Oil or paint all bare metal surfaces.
