•WARNING – When servicing is necessary, perform it in a protected area. Do not use power tools in rain or snow because of danger of electrical shock or injury. Keep area well lighted. Use proper tools. Keep the area of service clean to help avoid accidents.

•WARNING – Disconnect electricity to spreader before servicing.

•CAUTION – The controller is a solid state electronic unit and is not serviceable. Any attempt to service will void warranty.

•CAUTION – There are no serviceable parts in our motor/transmission assembly. Any attempt to service will void warranty.

•CAUTION – When replacing parts use only original manufacturer’s parts. Failure to do so will void warranty.

•Use diaelectric grease on all electrical connections to prevent corrosion at the beginning and end of the season and each time power plugs are disconnected.

•Wash unit after each use to prevent material build-up and corrosion.

•CAUTION – When pressure washing motor enclosure area stay at least 36'' away.

•Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of the season.

•Apply small amount of light oil to latches and hinges as needed.

•If motor cover is removed for any reason use silicone sealant to ensure weather proofing of enclosure.

•Grease all bearings after 20 hours use (Fast-Cast 4000 only).

•After first use tighten all nuts and bolts on spreader and mount.

•Apply a small amount of oil on gate cable to prevent corrosion and maximize the cable life

(Fast-Cast 175 only).
