Attaching the Spreader to the Towing Vehicle (continued)
4. Refer to Figure 2B. Adjust the overall height of the spreader/hitch with the dollywheel/jack so the
height of the spreader hitch matches the height of the tractor drawbar or vehicle hitch point (as applicable).
NOTE: The dollywheel/jack is held in its upright position with a spring-loaded pin. To release the jack
to move it into its operational position, simply pull the pin outward and swing the jack down.
5. Back the towing vehicle into the hitch until the holes of the spreader hitch line up with the vehicle hitch
point.
6. Fasten the spreader hitch to the vehicle drawbar/hitch point with a hitch pin that fits securely (i.e. so that
it will not come out during spreader operation) and lock in place with the safety clip.
WARNING: Damage to the spreader or other vehicle, as well as injury to the operator, may occur if
a properly-sized hitch pin is not installed as recommended. Note that the installation of the safety clip to
hold the hitch pin in place is also required for safe spreader operation.
7. Remove the weight from the dollywheel/jack by lowering the spreader hitch on the vehicle drawbar/
hitch point.
8. To provide adequate ground clearance for operation, swing the dollywheel/jack up into its resting
position (i.e. pull the spring-loaded pin out to release the jack and swing the jack upward, then allow
the pin to re-engage to hold the jack in its upward position.)

1. Back the towing vehicle within a few inches of the spreader hitch.
2. Refer to Figure 2A. Determine the spreader hitch position required to allow the spreader to remain
parallel to the ground with relation to the towing vehicle.
NOTE: As shown in Figure 2A, the adjustable hitch on the front of the spreader may be positioned in
a number of ways, by sliding up/down or inverting, to achieve a higher or lower positioning of the
spreader hitch.
3. Re-position the adjustable hitch as required and tighten the two (2) 1/2" bolts and lock nuts securely.
