User Notes

Spreading Sand

• This spreader is compatible with DRY sand only.
• Wet sand will clog the system.
• Use the included agitator when spreading sand for consistent flow.

Testing Your Spreader

• When testing without material in the hopper, the spinner may drop, then slowly rise and seal while still spinning.
• This is normal—the spreader requires material in the hopper to function properly.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning the Hopper

• Remove the spinner assembly (motor and spinner mechanism) by removing the 4 wingnuts and pulling the assembly off before cleaning.
• Rinse the hopper thoroughly with water and Dawn dish soap.
• Fully dry before storage to prevent moisture buildup.

Cleaning the Spinner Assembly

• Do not spray with high-pressure water (hose, faucet).
• Instead, use a spray bottle with a soapy water mixture, a towel, and a brush to clean.
• Focus on the spindle shaft to remove dust buildup.
• THOROUGHLY DRY and apply WD-40 before storage to prevent corrosion.
• Lubricate the spindle shaft with WD-40 after cleaning to ensure smooth operation.

Storage Guidelines

• Store in a dry location.
• Always CLEAN and DRY before storage to prevent rust or damage.

Owner's Manual & Installation

Agitator Installation

Your spreader includes an agitator attachment. If spreading materials that tend to clump—such as sand or salt—you should install the agitator.

• DO NOT use the agitator when spreading seeds or fertilizer. Keeping the agitator off allows for finer control of your gap setting, ensuring precise spreading.

How to Install the Agitator

• Remove the three nuts located at the base of the three bolts on top of the spinner plate.
• Replace the original bolts with the agitator bolts (pictured in the manual).
• Pro Tip: If you have not yet assembled your spreader, the spinner plate will be exposed and unfastened, making it easier to install the agitator at this stage.

Assembly Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Hopper

• Place the hopper upside down with the lid removed and the front (sticker side) facing you.
• Remove all hardware from the attached mounting bolts.
  

Step 2: Attach the Mounting Brackets

• Position the parallel mounting brackets onto the four mounting bolts on the hopper.
• Secure each bolt by placing a washer and lock washer first, then thread the 9/16" nut down tightly.
  • Ensure the square carriage bolt holes on the sides of the brackets face the inside of the spreader.

Step 3: Install the Spinner Assembly

• Align the bolt holes on your spinner assembly with the corresponding holes on your parallel brackets.
• Thread two bolts (Part # I) through the two front-facing bolt holes from the inside out.
• Secure each bolt with a washer, lock washer, and then tighten using the wingnuts.
  • Do not install the two rear bolts yet.
    

Step 4: Install the Back Shield (If Using)

• If installing the Spinner Assembly Back Shield (Part # C), repeat the previous step, but install the shield before placing washers and threading the wingnut.
  

Step 5: Mounting to Your ATV/UTV

• Align the parallel mounting brackets to the racks or expanded metal of your ATV/UTV or other vehicle.
• Secure using the included U-bolts (1/2") to ensure a firm fit.

Step 6: Powering the Spreader

• Plug the 10' power cord into the plug protruding from the motor on your spinner assembly.
• Connect the other end to your vehicle’s Accessory Plug (Cigarette Lighter).
  If your vehicle does not have an accessory plug, use the Direct-to-Battery Adapter (optional):
  • Connect the adapter to the spreader’s power cord, then secure the positive and negative clips to the corresponding terminals on your battery.
