MOUNTING THE SPREADER
6. Use the holes in the two cab‑side legs and
two holes in the runner as a template to mark
mounting hole positions on the vehicle bed.
7. Move the spreader temporarily to allow access,
and drill 5/8" holes as marked.
NOTE: Pay special attention when drilling or
clamping dissimilar metals to aluminum bodies.
Galvanic corrosion can occur if not handled
properly. Contact vehicle manufacturer for
recommended attachment practices.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes, check to be sure that no
vehicle wiring or other components could be
damaged.
8. Move the spreader back into position.
Secure the spreader to the vehicle with four
(installer‑supplied) 5/8" Grade 5 cap screws as
required by the vehicle application, with 5/8" flat
washers on both sides, and 5/8" locknuts.
If the mounting holes are not directly over the
vehicle box supports, the vehicle bed must
be braced to the frame to prevent buckling or
deforming the vehicle bed.
Accessory mounting
bars are available for installations that require
additional bracing. Contact your authorized dealer.
9. Remove the cable tie holding the wire harness
to the conveyor chain. Connect the vehicle-side
harness to the hopper‑side harness.
10. Reinstall the top screen with the removed cap
screws and brackets.
