MOUNTING THE SPREADER
5. Use the holes in the four hopper support legs as
a template to mark mounting hole positions on the
vehicle bed.
6. Move the spreader temporarily to allow access,
and drill 5/8" holes as marked.
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.
INSTALL HOPPER IN VEHICLE BED
NOTE: Periodically throughout the snow and ice
control season, verify that mounting devices
are secure.
1. Remove the vehicle tailgate.
2. Remove the wood shipping rails from the hopper legs.
3. Using slings or chains, lift the spreader by all four
diagonal corner rails and move it into the vehicle bed.
4.
Center the spreader from side to side. Shift the
spreader forward or backward to a position that
will allow the chute, once installed, to overhang
the rear of the vehicle and the bumper. With two
people, trial-fit the chute to check for clearance.
CAUTION
Before lifting, verify that the hopper is empty
of material. The lifting device must be able to
support the spreader's weight as shown in
the Spreader Specifications table.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes, check to be sure that no
vehicle wiring or other components could be
damaged.
Hopper Support
Leg Holes
Use all four rails
when lifting.
