Operation:
Positioning the spinner
Raise the bed while observing the clearance between the spinner unit and the
auger housing. With the spinner unit positioned approximately as shown on
“
Illustration A” Fig.4, load some deicing material in the bed for final adjustment of
the spinner. Position the bed with the front bottom edge at eye level when sitting in
the cab. This is the recommended operating position and the position to have the
bed in when making final adjustments to the spinner location. With the bed raised to
this elevation you can now run some material through the spinner and adjust the
pattern to the position that you want it. Moving the spinner to the left moves the
pattern clockwise and moving it to the right causes the pattern to move
counterclockwise. The speed of the spinner changes the distance the material will
be thrown and consequently the area to be covered.
Figure 4
Spreading material
It is recommended that you not drive the truck with the bed raised any more than is necessary, and
that you be constantly vigilant in watching for overhead obstructions and wires. When the auger
empties the material that flows into it, stop and raise the bed to cause more material to flow into
the auger. The speed of the auger controls the volume of material being spread while the speed
of the spinner controls the area that is being covered.
Caution: Before starting auger and spinner make sure everyone is clear of the spreader
area. Be sure power is turned off before working on or around the spreader equipment.
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) provides all the controls for the D-ICER, see Fig. 5. When
preparing to spread material, push the spreader “On/Off” power button. A “V 1.02XB” (Numbers
may change on ECU updates) will appear in the Menu window indicating the unit is powered up.
Push the motor “On/Off” power button. A “0” will appear in the spinner and auger windows. Select
the up arrow until a “4” or “5” appears in both windows. Check at the rear of the truck to make
sure the spinner is turning and spreading material. With the motor selector on, push the menu
button and note the following sequence of displays as the button is pushed repeatedly:
