fully raised and fully lowered. Lower the dump box to this degree and mount the spreader to the
truck. Be sure the spreader is level and measure the distance between the lower mounting hole
and the ground, (Fig. 3, D).
STEP 3.
In the shipping kit there are 4 brackets approximately 24" long with a 1" dia. hole in
each, use the difference in the Y measurement and the Z measurement, (Fig. 3, Y-Z), to locate
the distance for drilling the second 1" dia. hole from the existing hole. If more than an inch of the
bracket is left beyond the hole, cut the extra material away to prevent any type of interference.
STEP 4.
Using two of the four modified brackets, (Fig.3, Item 4, Part No. 200536-21). place one
on each side of the lower mounting plate on the front of the spreader and insert a 1" pin x 3"
long, Part No. 220343-06, through the hole securing it with a hitch pin, Part No.
FM-00518. Repeat this process for the other lower mounting plate.
CAUTION: END GATE MAY CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE WHEN RAISING DUMP
BOX WITH MATERIAL IN SPREADER.
STEP 5.
There are 2 brackets in the shipping kit approximately 15" long with a 1" dia. hole in
each, Part No. 200536-20. Place one bracket against the truck frame and align it between the two
brackets on the lower mounting plate of the spreader. Spacers of some type may need to be used
to line up the brackets properly. Refer to Fig. 3, Item 3, and Fig. 4 for further details. Insert a 1"
pinx3" long through the hole and secure it with a hitch pin.
STEP 6.
Move the shorter bracket along the frame until the distance between the hole you
drilled and the ground is the same as the measurement "D" in Fig. 3. Tack weld the bracket to the
truck frame and repeat this process for the other side. If you have the spreader leveled on
removable stands, clear all objects from underneath the spreader. Check to see if the spreader is
going to remain level by raising and lowering the dump box. If the spreader remains adequately
level, attach the brackets more securely (solid weld or bolts). If the spreader does not remain
adequately level, then break loose the tacks and raise or lower the bracket to correct for the
direction in which the spreader is unlevel. With the dump box at the fully raised position, the
