INTRODUCTION

This manual will assist you in the proper set-up, installation, and use of the Blaster series spreaders.

Please read and understand the contents of the manual completely (especially all safety information) before attempting any

procedure contained herein.

The Blaster line of spreaders may be attached to many types of vehicles to suit different spreading needs.

The modular design allows for multiple mounting variations using the same spreader.

Our heavy-duty construction uses high quality steel, stainless steel or polyethylene along with industrial grade electrostatic

paint finishes so that maintenance is minimal.

Our high torque, direct drive motor powered by a state-of-the-art, variable speed, solid state electronic controller will provide

reliable power and control when spreading, even at extremely low temperatures.

Meyer Products LLC reserves the right to make any changes or improve the design of any parts and not be obligated to make

changes on units previously sold.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

FOR MAGNUM SERIES SALT/ SAND SPREADER INSTALLATION

1.) For installation Blaster 750 series salt spreaders:

A.) Due to the size and capacity of these spreaders we recommend installation on full size trucks with a 3/4 Ton

rating or higher.

B.) Stock mountings (“Hinged” or “Fixed”) are designed to be used only with full size pick-up trucks which have

rear bumpers in good condition (top surface must be straight and relatively level with truck)

C.) If hinged mounting is desired, the truck’s bed rails must also be of good condition and stake pockets free for

use.

D.) If fixed mounting will be used, the tailgate must close and latch solidly

2.) For installation of Blaster 350 series salt spreaders:

A.) This product line can be installed on any vehicle with a class 3 hitch receiver that will accept a 2" square tube

and has a tongue weight rating of at least 500 lbs.

B.) If your vehicle is not factory equipped with a hitch, we recommend taking it to a reputable trailer hitch installation

shop or your vehicles dealership.

C.) Reese and Draw-Tite offer a dual port hitch (DPS) with two round, downward angled receivers. A 5.75 cu. ft.

Blaster spreader can be ordered to fit this system.

As with any vehicle accessory, please refer to you owners manual to verify that the GVWR (Gross Vehicular Weight

Rating) will not be exceeded, especially if this product will be used in conjunction with other mounted equipment. If

equipment is mounted to vehicle with other than stock hardware or components, we the manufacturer cannot and will

not be held responsible for damages. Also, check your vehicle owner’s manual to be sure that the installation of “after-

market” accessories will not void the manufacturers’ factory warranty.

INSTALLING RECEIVER MOUNT MODEL:

350/350S/750R/750RS

The Blaster 350/350S/750R/750RS is a dedicated, Class 3, receiver (hitch) mount salt spreader. Prior to installation, be certain

that the vehicle receiver is in good working order, is rated for at least a 500 lb. tongue load, and is fastened to the vehicle

securely.

CAUTION - The spreader is a large heavy item that should be installed with an assistant. As with any new equipment installation

read and understand all instructions prior to starting the job, and do not hurry through it. A correct installation now can save

time and money later.

1.) Using an assistant remove the spreader unit and all loose components from the packaging and set cover aside until

installation is complete. Retain original packaging for storage purposes.

2.) Locate the large hitch pin and cotter clip from the hardware package. Set these items aside, as they will be used later

during the installation.

3.) Inspect the vehicles receiver tube and check for rust, dirt, or foreign debris that may have collected in it. If there are any

blockages clean with compressed air and a wire brush.

4.) Apply good quality grease to the inside of the receiver tube, this will prevent rusting and make the spreader easier to

remove at the end of the season.

5.) The framework will have four 1/2-13 x 3” SS Bolts already installed in the mounting holes for the stinger. Remove the

1/2-13 SS Locknuts and 1/2” SS Flatwashers and apply a light oil to the threads, this will make assembly easier; yet will

not affect the locking properties of the safety nuts. Place the stinger over the bolts, replace the nuts and washers and

fully tighten. (Note: The mounting tube may be placed in either the raised or lowered position by flipping the stinger

over. This is owner preference) The DPS version is always installed with a downward angle for the two round stingers.

6.) Lift the spreader unit upright (hopper opening facing up) with mounting tube pointed toward the truck.

7.) Slowly slide spreader mounting tube into the vehicles receiver until the through holes in receiver match through holes

in spreader. (See note below)

8.) Insert the large hitch pin through the receiver tube and spreader mounting tube. Secure with the cotter clip.

WARNING – The cotter clip must be in place for safe operation.

9.) Place the cover over the hopper and secure clamps on left and right sides.

NOTE: •The spreader mounting tube has 2 pre-punched hole sets to provide some adjustment when installing the unit.

•Always use the hole set that places the unit closest to the vehicle but without touching it.

WARNING – Never attempt to drill new holes in the spreader mounting tube, contact your local trailer hitch supplier

about relocating or replacing you current hitch, if mounting problems occur.

10.) Use the Ratchet Tie Down Strap and Tie Down Hooks to tie spreader to vehicle frame to elininate any rocking of the

spreader.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

FOR ALL BLASTER SERIES SPREADERS

1.) Locate the wire harness and begin to route it from the rear of the vehicle to the front. The molded rubber plug indicates

the rear of the harness, closest to the spreader. Use frame holes and frame supports as lashing points. Do not attach

to fuel or brake lines. Avoid wire-runs along exhaust system or hot engine parts. Melting damage to the harness can

occur in the proximity of extreme heat.

2.) Mount the rubber plug under the rear bumper. Position this plug toward the center of the vehicle.

3.) Place the Harness portion that connects to the battery along the firewall and fender well, but do not connect yet.

4.) Drill a 1" diameter hole through the firewall. This hole will be used to route the controller portion of the harness into the

vehicle. Before drilling always check to see what is on the other side.

5.) Push the controller portion of harness through the hole in the firewall that was previously drilled. NOTE: The controller

end will have 2 plugs on it, but only 1 plug can pass through the firewall at a time.

6.) Move to engine compartment. Connect power leads to battery: RED WIRE (+) positive, BLACK WIRE (-) negative. Coat

the connections with dielectric grease to prevent corrosion and build up. Check harness marked ‘battery’ for voltage

by temporarily removing the red tape affixed to it.

7.) Connect the blue wire from pigtail to brake light. Connect white wire from pigtail to optional vibrator harness if equipped.

Connect red wire on pigtail to a 12 volt keyed accessory. Connect black ground wire to ground. Connect white jumper

wire to the back of the controller marked motor white wire. Connect red jumper wire to the back of the controller

marked battery red wire wire. The two red wires from the main connector can now be connected to the two jumper

wires. (Note: wires will only connect one way) ANY ATTEMPT TO JOIN THE CONNECTORS IMPROPERLY, FOR

EXAMPLE MALE TO MALE, COULD SHORT OUT THE CONTROLLER.

Misconnection resulting in a damaged controller is not covered by warranty.

8.) Select a suitable location to mount the controller. After mounting verify that the power switch is in the off position.

9.) Coil excess wire and use wire ties to secure it to a safe location.

10.) Mate the plug coming from the spreader unit to the plug previously installed under the rear bumper.

11.) Make sure that feed screw/spinner area of the spreader is clear of obstructions. Turn power on at the controller and

verify that the spreader is operating in all modes. Looking down on the impeller from the rear of the vehicle, determine

that the impeller is turning counter-clockwise. Unit may now be operated.

(7)

OPERATING THE SPREADER

Before using the spreader read and understand all aspects of this operators manual.

PREPARATION

CAUTION – Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons and

animals out of area to be spread.

SPREADER LOADING

Your spreader will come equipped with a cover that will protect your de-icing material from rain or snow; this can be

removed simply by detaching the holding clamps on the sides of the hopper.

WARNING – Do not overload vehicle. Below is a chart to calculate weight of materials.

MATERIAL WEIGHT PER CUBIC FT.

Rock Salt 35-40 lbs.

Coarse Sand 85-90 lbs.

WARNING – NEVER leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as de-icing materials will attract atmospheric moisture

and may clump together.

Always replace cover after filling to prevent saturation of material from snow or rain.

OPERATING THE SPREADER

The controller is equipped with: on/off switch, lighted dial, rotary speed control, and a blast switch.

To start spreader, be sure vehicle is running to prevent battery from wearing down, flip the switch from off to on. The spreader

will power up to full power for approx. one second then drop to wherever the dial has the speed set at. Spreader switch must be

flipped to the off position when vehicle is turned off to prevent the vehicle battery from wearing down.

Adjust the speed of the unit by rotating the dial clockwise for faster and counterclockwise for slower.

The burst switch is a momentary full power override, use this of you require a heavier pass in certain areas.

If there are any problems while operating the spreader refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 8.

SPREADING HINTS

Never exceed 10 M.P.H. when spreading.

For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.

For a heavier pass, drive more slowly.

Never operate spreader around people and calculate spread pattern around vegetation.
