INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Mounting the Spreader onto the Vehicle:
A. Remove the tailgate from the vehicle.
B. Lift the carbon steel spreader by means of the lifting
loop that is welded to the hopper cross channel. Lift the
stainless steel spreader by means of the square knock-out
in the rear-most (toward rear of the truck) hopper cross
member.
Warning! The lifting device must be adequately rated to
lift a payload equal to or greater than the spreader
weight. See page 2 for spreader weights.
The lifting loop is placed at the approximate balance point
of the spreader. Residual material, gasoline, oil, battery, top
screen, or inverted vee assembly may affect this balance
point.
C. Elevate the spreader off the vehicle with lumber. Place
lumber under the side gussets of the spreader. This will
help with removal of excess material that accumulates
under the spreader.
D. Center the spreader on the vehicle with the ends of the
sill extensions 14” to the rear of the nearest vertical
obstruction (bumper, trailer hitch, etc). It is recommended
that the Spinner/Chute Assembly be loosely attached to the
hopper. This should be done to avoid any interference
between the vehicle and the Spinner/Chute Assembly.
E. Bolt the spreader to the vehicle frame using the holes
located in each of the four (4) side gussets. Use 1/2” SAE
Grade 5 hardware as required by vehicle application.
F. In addition secure the spreader to the vehicle using the
four (4) tie-down eyes located at each corner of the spreader
to the vehicle’s factory installed anchor points using proper
tie-down devices.
The spreader must be securely fastened to the frame of
the vehicle.
Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the factory
installed anchor points are designed for tie-down of such
load.
Periodically check that the spreader mounting hardware
is securely tightened.
2. Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A. Attach the Spinner/Chute Assembly to the spreader
using the four (4) 3/8-16 X 5/8” hex head bolts, lock wash-
ers, and nuts. The head of the bolt is to be placed on the
inside of the chute assembly. Push the chute assembly
towards the cab of the vehicle. Loosely attach the hard-
ware, but do not tighten at this time.
B. Install the roller chain between the sprocket mounted to
the Spinner/Chute Assembly and the Gearbox Sprocket.
Make sure both sprockets are in-line with one another.
