Spreader designed for spreading ice melt on sidewalks, driveways,
and other outdoor surfaces. The spreader has a large opening that
allows ice melt to flow through it without the need for an
agitator. The spreader is not designed for fertilizer. The spreader

#2 Phillips screwdriver for assembly. The spreader has a gearbox
and axle assembly with coast and drive wheels that are
interchangeable. The handle assembly has three positions for the
operator’s comfort.

Step 5: Install handle shaft to lower handles and pivot & bracket assembly as shown using 2″ bolts and locknuts. TIGHTEN BOLTS AND NUTS NOW.

Step 6: (This step is only required if you want to change the position of the handles). NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING GAUGE AND UPPER HANDLES TO HANDLE SHAFT, UPPER HANDLES FEATURE THREE POSITONS FOR OPERATOR’S COMFORT. If operator chooses middle or upper positions, use handle spacer in hole nearest to handle grips.
Insert 2″ bolt through upper handle, then through handle spacer through other upper and secure with locknut. DO NOT TIGHTEN LOCKNUT YET. TIGHTEN THIS NUT LAST.
Now slide the UPPER HANDLE assembly over the HANDLE SHAFT (on the end with the bolt holes closer to the end). Install gauge & lever using (2) 2″ bolts. Be sure gauge is on left hand side. Tighten locknuts to gauge first. TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE NOW.
Step 7: Install Control Rod by inserting flattened end of Control Rod into Lever on Gauge as shown. Turn to lock in place. {Make sure that there is a plain ¼ -20 Hex Nut threaded about halfway up the threads}.
Push lever forward to full OPEN setting. Align and push the Control Rod through the angle attached to the Pivot Bracket. Now install ¼ -20 regular nut on to Control Rod. {One nut on either side of the angled plate}.
Next pull pivot & bracket back so that the shut off plate in the hopper is in the full open position and adjust the Hex Nuts on the Pivot Bracket angle to secure the angled bracket. Now tighten the nuts against the pivot angled bracket to prevent change in calibration.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before filling hopper, become familiar with the operation of this spreader. Move stop bolt on rate gauge assembly to the proper setting. While pushing spreader forward, pull control lever back to stop bolt. To stop, push lever forward to close flow holes before you stop moving. When finished, empty any remaining material from hopper. Thoroughly wash spreader and dry before storing. A coating of light oil will help prevent corrosion.
HELPFUL HINTS
Read the directions before assembly. If your spreader does not spread evenly, be sure “FRONT” on the GEARBOX points to the front of the spreader. The
impeller must turn clockwise when pushing forward. Reversing the GEARBOX during assembly will cause issues. Your spreader is calibrated for three miles per hour, which is a brisk walking speed. Slower or faster speeds will
change the spread pattern. Do not use powdered materials as it will damage the gearbox. Gears are permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not open the GEARBOX or dirt may enter.
