1. Install the two (2) endgate mounting plates on the inside of the spreader box, using the nuts and bolts
provided. Note that the upper half of each bracket will extend above the top of the spreader box.
2. Mount the endgate frame on the endgate mounting plates (on each side), using the hardware provided.
Be sure to install the 5/16" washers and lock nuts in sequence as shown; these create the pivot point for
the endgate. DO NOT overtighten the lock nuts (e.g. Millcreek recommends that you just tighten the
lock nuts, then loosen 1/4 turn to allow for proper movement of the endgate.)
3. Mount the endgate on the frame, using the 5/16 x 3/4" carriage bolts and nuts provided.
4. Install the protective endgate stop pieces on each side of the spreader box (item #'s 2, 3, 8) .
