2. Press the two plugs into the ends of the frame tube. See figure 1.

HINT: Use a block of wood to help press the plug down

Position the spreader for adequate clear- I

straight toward the rear.

NOTE: The top of the hopper should be at least 30"

above the ground. The mounting holes shown in figures 3 and 4 will make the top of the hopper even with the vehicle's rear rack. If exhaust blows against spreader, a higher mounting position may help.

IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, determine ifthe mount-

ing brackets, when attached directly to the spreader frame, will fit onto the vehicle rack. If they need to be farther apart, use the extension brackets in figure 4.

If you are NOT using extension brackets:

5. Attach the R.H. mounting bracket to the frame tube using two 5/16" x 2" hex bolts and 5/16" nylock nuts as shown in figure 3. Tighten. Repeat for the L.H. mounting bracket.

Fasten the deflector to the angle brackets using two 1/4" x 3/4" hex bolts, 1/4" flat washers and 1/4" nylock nuts. Allow the angle brackets to swivel so that the deflector curves naturally between the angle brack- ets and then tighten all nuts. See figure 2.
