CONNECTING SPREADER
•
Connect the Spreader to the tow vehicle while
the Spreader is empty.
•
Remove the ½” Pin from the hitch stand. Lift
the Spreader tongue and swing the Stand
under the hitch bar so it is out of the way.
•
Set the ball coupler on the 2” ball and push
the coupler lock handle down. This locks the
coupler to the ball. Insert the safety pin
(
NB518
) into latch handle to keep the lock
from accidentally unlatching during use.
•
Swing the Stand up against the bottom of the
hitch bar. Re-insert the previously removed
½” pin into the lower hole to retain the stand
in the up position.
•
Level the Spreader. See
page 13
for leveling
instructions.
CAUTION: NEVER ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY MOVE, CONNECT OR
DISCONNECT A FULLY LOADED SPREADER.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
•
It is not recommended to tow behind a car
or truck.
•
The Tow Hitch Bar is adjustable so the
Control Handle can be reached from the tow
vehicle.
•
Ensure the tow vehicle is rated to tow the
weight of the loaded Spreader.
•
If the Control Handle is unreachable from
the tow vehicle, refer to
page 10
for
instruction on adjusting the Hitch Bar length.
TOW VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
•
The tow vehicle must be equipped with a 2”
ball.
•
The top of the 2” ball should be no less than
11” and no more than 20” off the ground.
Anything outside of this range will require
additional equipment to raise or lower the
ball height as needed so that the Hopper
can be leveled.

the hitch from disconnecting unexpectedly.

Never Fill Hopper without the spreader
being connected to a tow vehicle.
