3. Using the mounting holes in the spreader side
rails as a template, mark mounting hole positions
on the vehicle bed. Drill 9/16" holes for the frame
bolts.
4. Secure the spreader to the vehicle bed using four
1/2" cap screws, 1/2"
fl
at washers, and
1/2" locknuts on the bottom.
If the mounting holes are not directly over the
vehicle box supports, the vehicle bed must
be braced to the frame to prevent buckling or
deforming the vehicle bed.
5. Reinstall the top screen.
INSTALL MOUNTING HARDWARE
1. Position the spreader so the material chute on the
spinner assembly is approximately 1" away from
the rear of the vehicle. Center the hopper on the
vehicle bed from side to side.
2. Position the rear stop bars against the sides
of the spreader frame and the rear edge of the
vehicle bed. The spreader may be moved slightly
rearward to align with the mount bar holes, or new
holes may be drilled if necessary. Attach the stop
bars to the spreader using 3/8" x 1" cap screws
and locknuts, two per side.
NOTE: Pay special attention when drilling or
clamping dissimilar metals to aluminum bodies.
Galvanic corrosion can occur if not handled
properly. Contact vehicle manufacturer for
recommended attachment practices.
WARNING
Spreader shall be bolted to vehicle frame.
Do not rely on the tie-down chains or straps
alone to hold spreader in vehicle.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes, check to be sure that no
vehicle wiring or other components could be
damaged.
