the RT3 attachment onto the hitch hook.

attachment locks into place.
DANGER
The spreader is heavy and could cause serious
injury or property damage if it falls off your
vehicle.
Ensure that the top pin of the RT3 attachment
is fully locked into place and that the safety
latch is down.
8. Attach the stabilizer arms to the spreader frame using 8
bolts (3/8 inch) and locknuts (3/8 inch) and torque the
bolts to 27 Nm (19.7 ft-lb) (
Figure 7 ).
Note:
Attach the arms so that the stabilizer pads
contact your truck bed.
9. Rotate the pads on the stabilizer arms until they are
tight against your truck bed and tighten the jam nut
to secure them (
Figure 7 ).
10. Slide the ends of the ratchet straps between your
vehicle’s bumper and tailgate and attach them to a solid
point on the truck frame rail.
Note:
You may have to drill a hole in the truck frame
rail to attach them.
11. Step on the leg-assembly wheels to pivot them and
stow them under the leg assembly (
