INTRODUCTION

This manual will assist you in the proper set-up, installation, and use of the Blaster series spreaders.

Please read and understand the contents of the manual completely (especially all safety information) before attempting any
procedure contained herein.

The Blaster line of spreaders may be attached to many types of vehicles to suit different spreading needs.

The modular design allows for multiple mounting variations using the same spreader.

Our heavy-duty construction uses high quality steel, stainless steel or polyethylene along with industrial grade electrostatic
paint finishes so that maintenance is minimal.

Our high torque, direct drive motor powered by a state-of-the-art, variable speed, solid state electronic controller will provide
reliable power and control when spreading, even at extremely low temperatures.

Meyer Products LLC reserves the right to make any changes or improve the design of any parts and not be obligated to make
changes on units previously sold.

VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS

FOR MAGNUM SERIES SALT/ SAND SPREADER INSTALLATION

B.) Stock mountings (“Hinged” or “Fixed”) are designed to be used only with full size pick-up trucks which have

rear bumpers in good condition (top surface must be straight and relatively level with truck)

C.) If hinged mounting is desired, the truck’s bed rails must also be of good condition and stake pockets free for

use.

D.) If fixed mounting will be used, the tailgate must close and latch solidly

2.) For installation of Blaster 350 series salt spreaders:

A.) This product line can be installed on any vehicle with a class 3 hitch receiver that will accept a 2" square tube

and has a tongue weight rating of at least 500 lbs.

B.) If your vehicle is not factory equipped with a hitch, we recommend taking it to a reputable trailer hitch installation
