Operating the Spreader
Model # SP-575X / SP-1075X
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

• Adjust speed of spinner by using dial in center of pendant.
• If more material is needed in certain areas, press the blast switch to give maximum power.
SPREADING TIPS
• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
• Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading.
• For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.

• Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
