Settings

THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO HANDLE DRY, CLEAN, FREE-FLOWING MATERIAL ONLY SUCH AS
BAGGED ROCK SALT, ICE MELT, FERTILIZER, AND GRASS SEED.
SPREADER OPERATION
1. The recommended vehicle operating speed when
spreading is approximately 3 MPH, or slightly faster
than a brisk walk (equal to vehicle traveling 40 ft. in
9 seconds).
2. The rate gate linkage operates the rate gate. The
dial is marked from 0 to 9.9. The rate gate linkage
position determines the amount of material to be
broadcast. The higher the number, the heavier the
application of material.
3. The dial is milled out at the 9.9 position. This allows
the rate gate link to go past the 9.9 position and
enables the rate gate to be opened to maximum
distance. This setting can be used for dry sand, dry
organic top dresses, bagged rock salt, and ice melt
products that are normally difficult to spread.
4. Fill hopper with material. Do not exceed maximum
weight capacity of hopper (See the Specification
Section) .

5. Set dial to correct position. If a Spyker dial setting is
not found with broadcast material information, use
the size and weight comparison table found on the
following pages. Determine a dial setting on the low
side. If the setting proves to be too low, cover the
area more than one time. A higher setting can be
used when a proven dial setting is established.
6. Travel to spreading location.
7. Ensure area surrounding spreader is clear of
bystanders.
8. Engage Speed Control Lever to ensure the
speed is 3mph.
9. Push Hopper Shut-Off Lever to the OPEN position.
10. Evaluate spread pattern.
11. If spread pattern is OK, continue to spread at
recommended speed of 3 MPH.
12. If spread pattern needs to be adjusted, go to
Accuway Spread Pattern Adjustment Section.
13. Pull Hopper Shut-Off Lever to the CLOSED position.
Close the gate of spreader while still at operational
