REMOVING THE SPREADER
5. To remove the spreader without a lifting device,
two or more people are recommended. Move
spreader rearward until it balances at the rear of
the bed. Carefully lower the back of the spreader
to the ground so it is resting on its feet.
6. Tip the spreader up onto spacers at least 2" tall,
so it is fully supported by the feet.
7.
Do not leave an unsecured spreader standing
on its feet.
After pulling the truck away, either
lower the spreader so it is resting on its six legs
or properly support it with blocks and secure it as
directed under Storage in the Maintenance section
of this manual. If lowering the spreader onto its 6
legs, place spacers under the legs so the feet at
the rear of the spreader are off the ground.
Spacers Under Feet
1. The spreader can be removed from the truck bed
either by lifting the spreader by the four molded-in
handles located on the corner legs or by sliding
the spreader out of the truck bed onto the ground.
2. First make sure all material has been removed
from the spreader and the chute is detached. To
empty the spreader and remove the chute:
a. Remove the two pins that hold the chute to the
hopper body.
b. Disconnect the spinner motor connector.
c. Grasp the chute, raise it and remove it from
the hopper body.
d. Operate the hopper to convey all material from
the spreader.
e.
Remove the sill deflectors by loosening the
bolts for the bearing and gear box. Slide out
the deflectors and tighten the bolts.
3. Disconnect the electrical connections at the
spreader.
4. Remove any means used to attach the spreader
to the truck bed and ensure the lids are closed
securely.
Disconnect
harness.

Remove

CAUTION
Before lifting, verify that hopper is empty of
material. The lifting device must be able to
support the spreader's weight as shown in
the spreader specifications table.
