  If the spinner on your Western Spreader isn't spinning and there's no power, here's what you can check: * Ensure the spreader control is turned ON. * If using an ON/OFF control, check if the circuit breaker has tripped; if so, turn the control OFF, reset the breaker, and then turn the control ON. * Inspect the battery lead in-line fuse and replace it if blown, looking for any short circuits. * Check the battery connection for any issues; clean or replace the ring terminal and apply dielectric grease. * Examine the battery wiring harness for damage and repair or replace as needed.
