Troubleshooting

Spreader is not dispensing material.

Check if the feed control is open. Ensure there are no clogs in the hopper or spreader mechanism. Check the material in the hopper to see if it is stuck.

Uneven distribution of material.

Ensure you are driving at a consistent speed. Check the spreader settings and calibrate if necessary. Make sure the spreader is level during operation. Overlap passes slightly.

Tires are flat.

Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure. Check for punctures and repair or replace the tires as needed.
