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.
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.
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.
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
Ass e mbly.
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.
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.

2. Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation
Make sure you have connected the proper wire color.
This is wire ground electrical system! No connections to
truck’s frame or body allowed!
WARNING
WARNING! Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines,
through electrical wiring, etc. that may be damaged by
drilling. 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.
NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempting to
install electrical components on your vehicle.
A. Mount the controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. It is recommended not to mount the controller directly in
front of heat vents. Allow ample air space around controller.
B. Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall

(it maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate hole to avoid water
leaks.
C. Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during installation.
D. Connect the 4-pin connector on the wire harness to the
control box 4-pin connector.
E. Connect the 2-pin connector on the power cable to the .....
control box mating connector.
F. Connect wire harness single connectors to control box
connectors.
G. Connect fuse connector to the fuse terminal or ignition
switch (5 AMP max).
H. Lay out a path for the power cable to the battery, use quick
ties to secure power cable.
DO NOT CONNECT TO BATTERY AT THIS TIME!
I. Lay out path for wire harness to the rear of the vehicle. It
is recommended to stay clear of the exhaust system. Excess

POWER AND POTENTIAL CONTROLLER DAMAGE!
L. Connect the power cable directly to the battery.
M. Insure all functions of the controller are
working properly.
N. Observe chain moving in proper direction. If direction is
wrong reverse wires between Motor and Wire Harness.
O. Optional spot light (5 AMP max) can be installed on
