SPREADER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Before lowering the spreader, place lengths of
lumber (2" x 4" x 48" minimum) under the side
ribs. By elevating the spreader off of the vehicle, it
is easier to remove excess material that
accumulates under the spreader.
4. Center the spreader on the vehicle with the end of
the spreader sills 11" to the rear of the nearest
vertical obstructions (bumper, trailer hitch, etc.).
5. Measure the distance from the front of the truck
bed to the sills and make a spacer to place
between the bed and the rails.
6. Bolt the spreader to the vehicle frame through the
lengths of lumber using the holes located at each
lower support leg. Use 1/2" hardware as required
by vehicle application. If 2 x 4’s are not directly
over the truck box supports the truck bed must be
braced to the frame to prevent buckling or
deforming the truck bed.
