MOUNTING THE SPREADER

MOUNTING SPREADER

NOTE: Periodically throughout the snow and ice 

control season, verify mounting devices are secure.

1.  Remove the tailgate from the pickup bed.
2.  Load the spreader onto the truck bed.
3. 

Mount the chute to the deflector using the supplied 

hardware kit.

4. 

Mount the chute/deflector assembly to the spinner 

assembly with supplied hardware to form the drive 

assembly.

5.  Mount the drive assembly to the spreader with a 

bent pin and secure with a hairpin cotter.

6. 

Slide the spreader forward until the deflector/chute 

assembly makes contact with the vehicle. Then, 

slide spreader back approximately 1" to allow 

proper clearance.

7.  Install stop bars using supplied hole patterns (see 

illustration below). To achieve the best position, 

you may need to drill additional holes in the 

bracket in order to properly position the spreader. 

If there are interferences, relocate the holes, 

making sure there are at least two forward and 

two rearward of the front to back centerline.

 CAUTION

Before lifting, verify hopper is empty of 

material. The lifting device must be able to 

support the spreader's weight.

 WARNING

Spreader shall be bolted to vehicle frame. 

Do not rely on the tie‑down chains or straps 

alone to hold spreader in vehicle.
