Melt ice and snow away on long driveways and strip mall parking lots with this SaltDogg hitch-mounted, electric salt spreader. Landscapers and property owners will love this spreader that has an 8-cu ft capacity and casts material 3' to 30'. If you run a big operation, use this spreader for small residential or commerical jobs, freeing up your larger trucks for more substantial work. You won't need to refuel or service a gas engine because the operation is electric. The quiet motor also won't wake up residents while you're de-icing late at night or early in the morning. Its powerful auger provides a smooth, consistent flow for rock salt, bulk salt, or 50/50 salt-and-sand mixes.
How to Use the SaltDogg
First, slide the spreader into your 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver and rest the unit on your bumper for support.
Decide what type of de-icing agent you'll be using. Then pour in your material. To protect the contents inside the hopper, put on the lid and secure it in place using the cover latches.
The slanted walls in the hopper help to channel the material down into the trough. A rotating, horizontal steel auger then breaks apart any large clumps and pushes the material down the length of the trough. The powerful churning action of this horizontal augur is more effective at moving salt down the chute and preventing clogs than that of standard vertical augers.
Once the granulated agent passes through the chute, it's sent onto the rotating spinner where it gets dispersed.
You can control these functions from the comfort of your cab with the variable-speed controller. Turn the spreader on with the power switch, and then use the dial to adjust the speed of the auger and the spinner. These 2 parts operate off the same motor and function together. A number next to the dial will indicate the speed setting that you're on. Turn the dial up higher if a stronger rotation from the auger is needed to break apart large chunks of material or if a faster rotation from the spinner is needed to cast your material a greater distance. If you need an extra burst of salt for an exceptionally icy area, push the blast button and the speed setting will automatically jump to 9, the maximum speed. After a moment of heavy salting, the speed controller will return to your previous number value.
There's also a vibrator switch that lets you control the optional vibrator kit (not included), which could be particularly helpful if there's moisture in the hopper that causes the de-icing agent to stick together.
High-Performance Electric Operation
This salt spreader uses a 12-volt, 1/2-horsepower motor to power the auger and spinner. This independent, electric motor runs quieter than a gas motor, and it also requires less maintenance. Because it's not uncommon for salt to stick together, the steel auger maximizes the spreader's performance by breaking apart clumps, which prevents clogs in the chute and heavy chunks from falling onto the spinner. The 12" spinner can spread material in a 3' to 30' radius. To withstand the corrosive effects of the salt, the spinner is made from a durable polyurethane.
To prevent damage to the spreader and controller, a 50-amp circuit breaker is included. This breaker will shut down power to the SaltDogg if an overload of current passes through the machine. It also has a push-to-trip button to manually trip the circuit breaker.
Heavy-Duty Poly Hopper
The patented double-wall hopper on this spreader has an 8-cu ft capacity. It's also constructed of durable polyethylene, which makes it resistant to corrosion and impacts.
Simple Installation
This SaltDogg spreader will work with most 1/2-ton, 3/4-ton, and 1-ton trucks with a 2" x 2" trailer hitch receiver.
To install this spreader, begin by sliding the receiver mount into your hitch receiver. Then attach the hopper using the included brackets. As you tighten the mounting hardware, the spreader will clamp down around your bumper for support. Next, install the spinner, spinner shield, disk protector, and lid on the spreader.
Mount the controller in your cab and plug it into the included power cable. Attach the power cable directly to your car battery for power - this setup completely bypasses your vehicle's wiring. Then plug the main wiring harness into the controller and route it back to the spreader where you will plug it into the 12V motor.
Simple Maintenance
You'll want to keep the salt spreader lubricated throughout the long winter season. To do this, spray lubricant around the motor shaft. This will help prevent water from penetrating the motor. Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connectors between uses and before long-term storage as well.
When the SaltDogg is not in use, be sure to empty any unused material because salt can freeze or solidify and cause the spreader to jam. At the end of a job, wash out the entire spreader and rinse off the external surfaces to help protect it from any type of corrosion.
