MOUNTING THE SPREADER
WARNING
Spreader shall be bolted to vehicle frame.
Do not rely on the tie-down chains or straps
alone to hold spreader in vehicle.
7. Move the spreader back into position.
Secure the spreader to the vehicle with four
(installer‑supplied) 5/8" Grade 5 cap screws as
required by the vehicle application, with 5/8" flat
washers on both sides, and 5/8" locknuts.
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.
Accessory mounting
bars are available for installations that require
additional bracing. Contact your authorized dealer.
8. Remove the cable tie holding the wire harness
to the conveyor chain. Connect the vehicle-side
harness to the hopper‑side harness.
9. Reinstall the top screen with the removed cap
screws and brackets.
Install Tie-Down Straps
Install tie‑down straps from the tie‑down loops on the
spreader body to the vehicle frame as shown. Use
one strap per loop, pulling diagonally away from the
hopper body.
