2.Move the power switch to the OFF position to stop the motor. The power switch will remain in this position.
NOTE: The truck ignition must be on to start the spreader.
NOTE: If the truck ignition is turned off while the spreader is running, the motor will stop.
If there are problems while operating the spreader, refer to the Troubleshooting section in this manual.
NOTE: Always place the cover on the hopper to prevent moisture buildup. Do not let the spreader sit idle with material in the hopper for an extended period of time. This can cause the material to compact and reduce or stop the flow of material.
