Spreader control circuit breaker is
tripped (ON/OFF control only).
Turn the control OFF. Reset the circuit
breaker. Turn the control ON.
Battery lead in‑line fuse is blown. Change the fuse and inspect for short
circuits.
Battery connection is poor. Clean or replace the ring terminal. Coat the
terminal with dielectric grease.
Battery wiring harness is damaged. Repair or replace the battery wiring harness
as required.
Spinner does not spin.
Motor is not turning.
12V DC power is present at the
Red wire to Red wire connection
located near the rear of the
spreader control.
Spinner, auger or drive shaft is
jammed or overloaded.
Unplug the spreader harness. Turn the
spinner by hand. If the shaft will not turn
freely, check the spinner and auger for any
obstructions or frozen material. Clear all
obstructions.

Unplug the spreader harness. Remove
the drive belt and turn the spinner by
hand. If the shaft will not turn freely, check
for obstructions. If no obstructions exist,
lubricate or replace the spinner bearings.

Turn the spinner by hand. If the shaft will
turn freely and the belt and pulleys are in
working order, check for 12V DC at the
Orange wire to White wire connection
located near the motor. If the motor has 12V
DC, the problem is in the motor. Replace the
motor.
Spreader control is damaged.
Check for 12V DC at the White wire to White
wire connection at the back of the spreader
control. If the control does not have power,
the problem is in the control. Replace the
control.

wire connection at the back of the spreader
control. If the control has 12V DC, check
for 12V DC at the White wire to Orange
wire connection located near the motor. If
the motor does not have power, then the
problem is the spreader harness. Replace or
repair the harness as necessary.
