General Installation Instructions
Dump Body Mounting
1. Remove the tailgate from the vehicle if
applicable.
2. Lift the spreader using the (4) lifting loops in the
corners of the 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 the
spreader before lifting.
3. Center the spreader in the vehicle. Spreader
sills must overhang 20” beyond the back end of
the vehicle.
4. If the dump body is not flat, it is suggested that
the spreader be placed on two 1" x 6" hardwood
boards. This will evenly distribute the weight of
the loaded spreader on the entire cross channels.
5. The spreader may be secured to the vehicle by
using Tie-Down Kit Buyers part #3010548 (sold
separately).
6. Periodically check that the spreader mounting
hardware is securely tightened.
Chassis Mounting
1. Hardwood wear strips usually 1" x 3" (not furnished) must be fitted to the truck chassis.
2. The spreader should be positioned on the
wooden wear strips so hopper sills must overhang
20” beyond the back end of the vehicle.
3. In addition a distance of approximately 4"-6"
must be left between the truck cab and the front of
the hopper. This will help facilitate any future servicing of the conveyor chain.
4. Qualified installer must fabricate suitable
angles to attach hopper cross members to track’s
frame.
DO NOT weld mounting angles to the truck frame.
Doing so can cause fatigue cracking of the truck
frame.

TM
Chute Installation
1. Bolt chute to Chute Guide using screws,
washers and nuts. Place washers between Chute
Guide tabs and Chute brackets.
2. Swing chute towards vehicle. Connect chute
to the hopper by engaging two latches into corresponding holes in chute brackets.
3. Chute heights can be adjusted by sliding lower
chute assembly up or down inside of upper chute
assembly. Adjustment slots are spaced by 3".
Secure lower chute assembly using all 4 carriage
bolts provided. Make sure all four bolts are used for
installation.
.
Spreader Operation
The spread pattern and the amount of material dispensed will depend on the following factors:
• Conveyor speed.
• Spinner RPM.
• Feed gate door position.
• Baffle settings.
Below are illustrations that show the baffles effect
on the spread pattern as viewed from the top of the
spinner disk.
the dump body. Support long hoses with wire ties
or clamps.
3. Protect hoses from wear caused by sliding and/
or vibration.
4. For proper rotation of conveyor chain and
spinner motors, hoses may be reversed.
5. Note: Use of a pipe joint sealant compatible with
hydraulic oil is recommended for all screw fittings.
6. Use swivel type hose ends to connect hoses to
flow valve. Damage to valve body may occur if the
fittings in flow valve are over tightened.
7. A 10 micron return line filter is recommended
to protect the pump, valve, and motors from wear
causing contamination.

CAUTION
• Be sure everyone is standing clear of spreader.
• Be alert for anything that may require shutting
down the system.
• Before working in or around spreader equipment,
be sure all hydraulic controls are moved to OFF
position.

TM
1. Use high grade non-foaming hydraulic oil to fill
reservoir about 3/4 full.
2. Position valve on/off lever to OFF.
3. Move auger (conveyor chain) and spinner knobs
on the valve to the open position.
4. Engage PTO and circulate hydraulic oil for
several minutes to warm up.
5. Move valve on/off lever to ON.
6. Inspect hydraulic system for leaks.
7. Check conveyor chain and spinner to see if they
are working properly and rotating the correct direction. To reverse rotation, switch the hydraulic lines
at the motor.
8. Refill reservoir to 3/4 full.
9. Hydraulic system should now be ready for use.
Spreader Start-Up
1. Check feed gate opening and baffle positions
for desired material flow and spread pattern. See
Spreader Operation section.
2. Check to make sure that no loose parts or other
material are in hopper , on in chute or spinner disk.
3. Shut off spinner and conveyor chain knobs and
position the on/off lever to ON. Engage the PTO
and allow the hydraulic system to warm up.
4. After the system is warm turn the spinner
and auger (conveyor chain) knobs to the desired
settings.
5. Changing the conveyor chain and spinner
speeds as well as adjusting the baffle positions
will produce various spread patterns.
Miscellaneous
• Valve setting changes may be made with truck
in motion.
• By moving on/off lever to the off position,
spinner and conveyor chain may be stopped at the
same time without changing their valve settings.
Caution
Always follow the following precautions so as not
to cause damage to the spreader.
• If the conveyor chain does not move because
of dense material or a material jam, remove all
material from the hopper and free the chain.
• If the material in the hopper freezes, move the
spreader into a warm area to thaw.
• To prevent the feed chain from freezing, do not
store material in the spreader.
• The gearbox is designed to only accept
torque from the input shaft. Therefore, DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE THE CONVEYOR BY
USING A PIPE OR SIMILAR TOOL TO MOVE OR
DISLODGE THE CHAIN. This action will void all
warranties.
Spreader Maintenance
• Grease the following components regularly:
• Idler shaft bearings (2)
• Drive shaft bearing (1)
• Feed Gate Jack
• Gearbox input shaft (if equipped with fitting)
• Check gearbox oil level periodically and main-
tain the oil level by adding appropriate lubricant.
IMPORTANT!
CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER AFTER
THE FIRST WEEK (OR NOT MORE THAN 50
HOURS) OF OPERATION ON A UNIT
• Check the Feed Chain tension periodically.
Proper chain tension is illustrated below. Be sure
the chain is tensioned equally on both sides. This
adjustment is made on each side of the spreader at
the idler bearing.
Lubricate the conveyor chain at least once a week.
Use a mixture of 75% fuel oil and 25% SAE 10 oil in
a pressurized hand spray gun.
• Tighten all screw fasteners to recommended
torques after the first week of operation and annually thereafter. If loose fasteners are found at any
time, tighten to the recommended torques. Replace
any lost or damaged fasteners or other parts immediately upon finding such damage or loss. Check
body mounting bolts every week.

TM
CAUTION
Do not over-tension the conveyor chain. This can
cause damage to the chain, bearings, and gearbox.
• Empty the spreader of all ice control material
when not in use to prevent a frozen feed chain &
damage due to corrosion.
• 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. Re-paint and oil all previously
painted surfaces and chains to protect from rust.
Properly store the spreader for the next season.
Spreader Maintenance - Hydraulic System
1. Warm up hydraulic system before using.
2. Keep the reservoir 3/4 full with high grade non-
foaming hydraulic oil.
3. Use precautions to keep contaminants from
getting in reservoir when filling.
4. Quick connects are a prime source of
contamination.
• Clean quick connects before connecting or dis-
connecting them.
• Protect quick connects from contaminates at
all times.
5. Lubricate all bearings and jack with suitable
type grease on a regular basis. More frequent
lubrication is recommended during periods of
heavy use.
6. Maintain the proper lubrication level in all gearboxes with appropriate gear lubricant.
7. When not in use, keep the spreader empty
to prevent freezing of material in the hopper in
extremely cold weather.
8. To extend the life of your spreader:
• Hose down and clean after each use.
• Repaint and/or oil, where necessary, after each
season.
