Step 1.

Install mounting stud plates & 1/2″pins.

Step 2.

Install spreader as shown. Some spreader assembly my be required. Secure with 1/2″ wing nuts.

Step 3.

Install hopper control bracket to studs on dash using (2) 5/16″ hand knobs.

Power Connection

Locate auxillary power plug. It is under dash near the parking brake handle.

Remove dust cap, and connect then 2 pin power plug to the controller.

Side Deflector

Deflector pinned up for normal spreading.

Deflector pinned down for single direction spreading.

Operation

This unit is designed to handle dry, clean, free-fl owing material only such as bagged rock salt, ice melt, fertilizer, and grass seed. Do not use bulk rock salt or water softener salt. It may be
necessary to remove agitator for some materials, such as bagged rock salt.

1. The recommended vehicle operating speed when spreading is approximately 3 MPH, or slightly faster than a brisk walk (equal to vehicle traveling 40 in 9 seconds).

2. The rate gate linkage operates the rate gate. Thedial is marked from 0 to 9.9. The rate gate linkage position determines the amount of material to be The higher the number, the heavier the application of material.

3. The dial is milled out at the 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. Ensure spreader and electrical harnesses are properly attached to vehicle (see Assembly Section).

5. Fill hopper with material. Do not exceed maximum weight capacity of hopper (120 lbs max).

6. Set dial to correct 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.

7. Travel to spreading

8. Ensure area surrounding spreader is clear of

9. Turn on the spreading motor and adjust motor speed control. The higher the motor speed control setting, the further the broadcast distribution will For most fertilizers, the motor speed control can be set at 1/2 speed and still obtain a 18′ spread width. For grass seeds, the motor speed control can be set at 5 to obtain a 12′ spread width.

10. Pull the Gate Control handle to open hopper Open the gate of the spreader after you are in motion at operating speed (about 3 MPH).

11. Evaluate spread

12. If spread pattern is OK, continue to spread at recommended speed of 3

13. If spread pattern needs to be adjusted, go to Accuway Spread Pattern Adjustment

14. Push the Gate Control Handle to close Close the gate of the spreader while still at operational speed.

15. Turn on/off switch to OFF to stop Spreader

Accuway Spread Pattern Adjustment

CAUTION! To avoid injury to hand, ensure motor controller is switched OFF before adjusting Accuway.
As you spread, if the spread pattern is skewing or flowing heavy to one side, slowly push or pull spread pattern control to adjust. Slide the T-knob forwards or backwards.

Moving the Accuway plate shifts the material on the spinner. Adjustment is very sensitive and should be done in small increments until the spread pattern is centered

Spreading Chart

This unit is designed to handle dry, clean, free-fl owing material only such as bagged rock salt, ice melt, fertilizer, and grass seed. Do not use bulk rock salt or water softener salt. It may be necessary to remove agitator for some materials, such as bagged rock salt.

SPEED – ACCURACY – FREEDOM FROM STRIPES

AND STREAKS are yours – when you use this Spreader. The spread width ranges from 6 ft. to 25 ft. wide, depending on the volume/density, particle size of the material and the rate of travel. The spread thins or feathers at the outer edges, eliminating sharp, “Edge of spread” lines which cause stripes and streaks.
REMEMBER – Published dial settings can be approximate only. The operation of the spreader, the condition of the material (damp or dry or over- pulverized) and weather conditions, are all contributing factors.
For these reasons, it’s often a good idea to spread the area 2 times – at one- half rate – in cross directions. Vehicle travel speed should be 3 MPH.
CAUTION. Avoid injury! Chemicals can be dangerous. Avoid injury to operator or bystanders.

• Read chemical MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and container label for proper/safe handling
• Wear appropriate clothing and safety equipment when applying and handling
• Prohibit smoking, drinking, and eating around

WARNING : When spreading products containing herbicides, exercise extreme caution with respect to careless spreading and to wind-drift. CONTACT OF SOME PRODUCTS ON SOME PLANTS CAN BE FATAL.
