  If the motor of your Western Spreader is running but the spinner isn't turning, consider these possibilities: * There might be an obstruction preventing rotation. Clear any obstructions. * The drive belt could be loose or damaged. Adjust the tension or replace the belt if it's worn or damaged. * The motor pulley might not be secured to the motor shaft. Tighten the pulley set screw, or replace the pulley if it's damaged. * The spinner pulley may not be secured to the spinner shaft. Replace the cap screw and nut if they're missing or damaged. Replace the pulley if it's damaged. * The spinner shaft bearings could be dry or seized. Grease or replace the bearings.

  If ice control material isn't flowing in your Western Spreader, even though the spinner is turning, it may be due to bridging of material or an obstruction in the hopper. Unplug the spreader harness and tag out if required. Check the hopper for material and free any bridged material or obstruction.

  If the speed control dial on your Variable Speed (PWM) cab control isn't changing the motor speed, it could be due to: 1. A malfunctioning cab control. Replace the cab control. 2. Incorrectly hooked up red and white connectors. Reconnect them so that red matches red and white matches white.

  If the spread pattern is not optimum on your Western Spreader, it could be because the deflector is out of adjustment. Unplug the spreader harness and tag out, if required. Change the deflector adjustment to suit desired pattern.

What to do if my Western PRO-FLO spinner does not turn?

  Terri WilcoxSep 4, 2025
  If the Western Spreader spinner shaft won't turn manually, clear any obstructions from the spinner or shaft and lubricate the bearings. If the shaft turns freely and the condition persists, the issue lies within the motor or the cab control. To address an overload condition, reset the cab control by turning the power switch off, then depress the START/BLAST switch. If this doesn't resolve the issue, turn off the power at the cab control, disconnect the electrical plug at the spreader.
