A multipurpose spreader designed to distribute
feed, seed, bagged rock salt, and fertilizer
while mounted on a UTV. The hitch mount and
detach brackets allow for easy installation and
removal for “Use-on-Demand” availability.
Mounting Instructions
1.
Assemble the Frame Tubes, Plate, Plate
Weldment, and Gussets as shown on next page.
NOTE: The washers are installed between the Plate
and the Frame Tube to provide spacing for the Frame
of the Spreader Assembly.
2.
Install the Hitch Mounting Frame into the hitch and
pin in place. (hitch pin not included)
3.
Position the preassembled Hopper and Frame into
place on the Hitch Mounting Frame. Insert the
included spreader mounting pins and install the cotter
pins to secure the Spreader.
4.
Slide the long end of the Gate Control Arm
through the hole in the top end of the Plate Weldment.
Slide the short end of the Gate Control Arm through
the Gate Control on the bottom of the Hopper, place
the included collar on the end and tighten.

Connect wire harness to motor and then plug the
accessory adapter into the UTV's accessory outlet.
6.
A “push/pull” action on the Gate Control Arm
will allow you to control the opening size in the
bottom of the Hopper. Enlarging the opening size
will allow for more material to be spread. Adjust
the opening to accommodate the size and quantity
of material you wish to spread.

the desired position. Close the Shut-Off Gate com-
pletely. Load material into the Hopper; be sure to
secure the Hopper Cover in place. Turn the “on/off”
switch to the “on” position. While moving, open the
Shut-Off Gate to begin spreading material.

Adjust the Shut-Off Gate by using the Flow
Control Arm to increase or decrease the size of the
opening. This will allow you increase or decrease
the amount of material being spread.
