5. Attach slings or chains to the four large round
holes on the top of the diagonal corner rails, and
lift the spreader from the vehicle bed.
STORE THE SPREADER
The spreader can be stored in truck position on blocks
or stands. Make sure the supports are stable and the
ground beneath is
fi
rm enough that the spreader will
not shift over time.
1. Move the spreader to the storage location using
a hoist, or lower it onto blocks and use a forklift to
move it to a secure location.
2. The hopper body should be slightly tilted toward
the rear end to prevent any rainwater from pooling
in the hopper.
3. Use blocking to ensure that the spreader is stable.
4. If desired, store the spinner assembly inside or on
top of the hopper.
