Controller Warnings
Check controller instruction sheet for latest controller
updates and troubleshooting codes. Controller instruction
sheet is inside controller shipping box.
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER, DO NOT DISCARD
CONTROLLER INSTRUCTION SHEET. STAPLE SHEET TO
SPREADER MANUAL AND GIVE TO END USER!
Note: To unclog auger manually, first remove the chute. Apply
1¼" open wrench on auger’s nut. Turn auger counterclock-
wise several times.
Note: Do not run the vibrator longer than 30 minutes with 15
minutes between runs to avoid overheating.
Material Flow Adjustments
Always use screen during spreader operation!
Various materials have different moisture absorption rate,
some materials may not perform as desired. Therefore, the
substitution of the alternate material may be necessary for
optimum performance.
SHPE2000 has two discharge openings in the bottom of
the hopper. Material flow through these openings can be
controlled using two sliding baffles. The spreader is shipped
from the factory with baffles adjusted for dry salt. In this
setting rear baffle has 4.0" opening and baffle in the middle
of the hopper has 2.0" opening. However if you are using a
sand/salt mixture or any chunky and hard to flow materials,
it is advised to increase the open portion of discharge
openings.
IMPORTANT! -Always open rear (closer to gear motor
compartment) opening first. Always turn off power before
adjusting baffles!
Spreader Maintenance
1. Wash spreader after every use. Make sure no material is
left under auger and/or inside trough.
2. Inspect and retighten fasteners after every 5-7 hours of
operation.
3. Lubricate bearing every 7-10 hours of operation using
general automotive grease.
4. Inspect terminals/connectors every time you disconnect
spreader from wire harness. Apply thin layer of dielectric
grease on terminals. If any tarnish/corrosion is found,
clean terminals and apply dielectric grease.
5. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connectors before
an electrical connection is made or after connector is
disconnected
6. Grease and spray with lubricant Auger bearing after every
20 hours of use.
7. Empty the spreader of all ice control materials when not in
use. Wash out the spreader to prevent material builds up.
8. It is recommended to cover spreader with the tarp during
storage periods. Tarp can be attached to anchors on both
sides of tie downs.
End of Season Maintenance
1. Wash spreader. Make sure no material or residue is left in
and outside the hopper.
2. Lubricate bearing using general automtive grease.
3. Inspect wire harness, connectors for broken insulation,
missing components. Replace if necessary.
4. Apply dielectric grease on all electrical connectors.
5. Store hopper indoors, in a dry, cool place.
6. Remove controller from truck. Store controller indoors, in a
dry, cool place.
Summer Storage
1. Apply dielectric grease or similar protective compound on
all electrical connectors & protect them with caps before
storage.
2. Disconnect and remove speed controller from vehicle
and store it in dry and cool place. Protect controller from
excessive heat and moisture.
3. Clean hopper and trough from all kinds of debris.
4. Remove, thoroughly lubricate and reinstall trough bearing.
5. Protect hopper from excessive temperatures during
summer storage.
