Be ready for the winter weather with the SnowBear salt spreader. This salt spreader conveniently slides into your vehicle's trailer hitch for easy mounting, and it lets you treat your driveway or small parking lot with bulk material, such as rock salt or ice melt.
This hitch-mounted tailgate spreader comes pre-assembled. All you have to do is install the 2" shank at the appropriate height and then slide the spreader into your vehicle's trailer hitch receiver. Because it can be used on most trucks and SUVs with a 2" x 2" hitch, the salt spreader can be easily switched between multiple vehicles.
The mounting height can be easily adjusted in 2-1/2" increments up to 12". The optimal height will vary depending on the height of your vehicle's hitch and the desired spread for your application. The higher you install the spreader assembly, the larger the spread area. A lower position on the bracket will provide a smaller, more concentrated spread.
Once the salt spreader is mounted on your vehicle, fill the salt spreader's hopper with rock salt or ice melt. The hopper is constructed of corrosion- and impact-resistant polyethylene, and it features a 250-lb capacity to ensure that you don't have to stop to refill the material. When the hopper's not in use, empty any unused material. Material can freeze or solidify causing the unit to not work properly. Wash out the hopper and rinse off external surfaces to help protect the surfaces from extended exposure to corrosive debris.
The lid is secured to the spreader hopper by 2 ball-loop stretch cords that are pre-installed on the lid. To lock the lid into place, simply pull out the cord on each side of the lid and secure it into the catch bracket. This ensures that you don't lose the lid or any material.
The toggle switch located on the frame lets you choose between 2 different speeds. High speed (H) adjusts the material spread to a 25' to 30' radius to quickly cover large areas. Low Speed (L) adjusts the spread to a 12' to 15' radius for thicker coverage within a smaller area. The distance of the spread will vary depending on the height at which the unit is mounted.
If the material spread is too wide or too narrow at the selected speed and height setting, simply adjust the spreader deflector. Loosen the nuts and move the deflector in or out from its preset position based on your need. Moving it inward will narrow the spread resulting in denser coverage of a small area. Moving the deflector outward will widen the spread and give you more coverage across a larger area.
Included with this unit are 2 wireless remotes that have already been pre-paired to the receiver inside the salt spreader. This effectively allows you to control the spreader from the warmth of your vehicle, and it limites your exposure to the elements.
Each remote allows you to turn the salt spreader on and off. The indicator light in the corner of each remote flashes as a signal that the battery is functioning properly when buttons are pressed. The remote, combined with the flexibility of the spreader, makes this an ideal setup for maximizing your time spent counteracting the icy weather.
