Installation Instructions
1. Mounting the Spreader onto the Vehicle:
A. Remove the tailgate from the vehicle.
B. Lift the spreader by lifting loops on side of hopper.
Safety Precautions
WARNING
The lifting device must be adequately rated to lift
a payload equal to or greater than the spreader
weight. See page 1 for spreader weights. Empty
spreader before lifting.
WARNING
Observe the following Safety Precautions before,
during and after operating this spreader. By following these precautions and common sense, possible
injury to persons and potential damage to this
machine may be avoided.
C. Elevate the spreader off the vehicle with lumber. Place
lumber under the side gussets of the spreader. This will help
with removal of excess material that accumulates under the
spreader.
1. Read this entire Owner’s Manual before operating this
spreader.
D. Center the spreader on the vehicle with the end of the
gear mount 14" to the rear of the nearest vertical obstruction
(bumper, trailer hitch, etc). Attach chute to spreader, check
for interference between the vehicle and the Spinner/Chute
Assembly.
2. Read all safety decals on the spreader before operating the
spreader.
3. Check to make sure all safety guards are securely
mounted into place before operating this spreader.

E. Bolt the spreader to the vehicle frame through the lengths
of lumber using the holes located in each of the four (4) side
gussets. Use 1/2" SAE Grade 5 hardware as required by
vehicle application.
harness, large connector to the Hopper’s harness. Drill
all necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the round
connector into the trucks cab. Attach harness to truck’s frame.
B. Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. It is recommended not to mount Controller directly in
front of the heat vents.
F. In addition secure the spreader to the vehicle by attaching the four (4) tie-down eyes located at each corner of the
spreader to the vehicle’s factory installed anchor points using suitable tie-down devices.
• The spreader must be securely fastened to the
frame of the vehicle.
• Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the
factory installed anchor points are designed for
tie-down of such load.
• Periodically check that the spreader mounting
hardware is securely tightened, retighten if necessary.
WARNING
Do not install controller in the deployment path of an air
bag. Refer to vehicle manufacturer’s manual for air bag
deployment area(s).
C. Connect the Wire Harness round connector to the
Controller round connector.
2. Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation
To insure good performance of your spreader, check the
condition of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter,
check alternator and battery voltage. With engine running
and head lights and heater fan on good voltage reading
should fall between 13.0 and 15.3 volts. If voltage reading
falls out of this range, check and adjust your electric system.
D. Lay out path for the Power Cable in the truck’s engine
compartment. Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one
to pass wire harness. It is recommended to pass the Power
Cable from inside of the cab to the battery due to the large high
amperage connector. Do not route close to exhaust system!
E. Connect Power Cable terminal to Controller.
A. Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness.
Connect the Wire Harness smaller connector to the Chute’s
F. Connect the Power Cable ring terminals to the truck’s
battery, white-positive, and black-negative.
WARNING
G. Make sure that the Controller is OFF. Connect blue wire’s
small female terminal to Controller’s Ignition wire. Connect the
blue wire to an accessory wire/terminal that is controlled by
the vehicle’s ignition switch.
Use extreme caution when working around an operating
vehicle engine.

A. If the feed chain does not move because of dense material
or a material jam, remove all material from the hopper and
free the chain.
4. Spinner/Chute Assembly Operation
B. If the material in the hopper freezes, move the spreader
into a warm area to thaw.
C. To prevent the feed chain from freezing, do not store material in the spreader.
D. The gearbox is designed to only accept torque from the
electrical motor. Therefore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE
THE FEED CHAIN BY USING A PIPE OR SIMILAR TOOL
TO MOVE OR DISLODGE THE CHAIN. If the feed chain is
moved, the gears within the gearbox will strip. This action will void all warranties.

BAFFLE
Spreader Maintenance
REAR
BAFFLE
1. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connections before
an electrical connection is made or after a connector is disconnected.
EXTERNAL
SIDE BAFFLE
A. The spread pattern and the amount of material dispensed
is dependant on the following factors:
1. Gear Motor RPM.
2. Feed gate position.
3. Baffle settings.
4. Spinner Motor RPM.
2. Grease the following:
• Idler shaft bearings (2)
• Bearing (1)
• Spinner shaft bearing (1)
3. Check the Feed Chain tension periodically.
To check the tension, measure in 21"-25" from the rear edge
of the gear box mount. Push up on the chain with your
hand. The conveyor chain should lift up 2"-3" off the conveyor chain guide or cross angles.
Below are illustrations that show the baffles effect on the
spread pattern as viewed from the top of the spinner disk.

4. Empty the spreader of all ice control material when not in
use to prevent a frozen feed chain.
5. Wash out the spreader when it is not in use. At the end of
the season wash out the spreader to remove all ice control
materials. Thoroughly dry all metal surfaces. Paint and oil all
bare metal surfaces and chains to protect from rust. Properly
store the spreader for the next season.
5. Precautions
CAUTION
Always follow the following precautions so as not
to cause damage to the spreader.
