Operating the Spreader

Preparation

Caution – Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons, children, or animals out of the area to be spread.

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

35-40 lbs.

Coarse Sand

85-95 lbs.

Maximum weight of material for the Fast-Cast 175, 180 lbs., the Fast-Cast 2000, 300 lbs., the Fast-Cast 3000, 600 lbs., and the Fast-Cast 4000, 750 lbs.

Be sure to comply with manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings.

Warning – Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up. When spreading sand mix with 20% ice melter to prevent the material from freezing.

Spreading Tips

Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading.

For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.

For a heavier pass, drive slower, or increase auger speed (Fast-Cast 4000).

Never operate spreader around pedestrians.

Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.

Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
