Installation Instructions
NOTE: The left and right end plates may, on
occasion, get bent through improper handling
during shipment or storage. If this should happen, square and true the left and right end plates
before installation.
1. Aligning the spreader:
A. Position the spreader with the truck such that
the auger gear motor is located on the right side of
the truck (passenger side).
B. Lift the spreader up and under the dump body
tailgate, positioning the spreader forward as close
as possible to the dump body. The tailgate of the
dump body should lay down horizontally over the
spreader.
C. Support the spreader solidly and securely when
positioning for mounting.
2. Attach mounting brackets (See Fig. 1.)
A. Attach a quick detach plate, (1) to both sides of
the spreader frame using hinge pins (2) and a hairpin cotter pins (5).
B. Position the (2) quick detach plates over the
dump body rub rails and flush with rear edge of
dump body.
C. Weld the quick detach plates to the dump body
rub rails. Weld the plates continuously around 3
sides of each plate. Do not weld along the edge of
the plates next to the attachment pin.

D. Align the pin brace (4) on the dump body using
the iron brace (3) for exact positioning. For proper
fit, hanger iron brace may require some minor
bending.
E. Weld the pin braces (4) to the dump body sides,
all around.
F. Attach the iron braces (3) to the pin braces on
the sides of the dump body and the sides of the
spreader using two hairpin cotter pins (Item 5).
G. If there is a gap between the spreader and the
dump body, weld or bolt a steel strip to the forward
edge of the spreader to cover the gap.
H. If you have purchased the tailgate side shields
(purchased separately as P/N 924F0106), bolt or
weld them to the inside of the tailgate to prevent
material spillage at the ends of the spreader.

A. Attach heights adjustment bracket (1) to
spreader lower tray using rod hinge (2) and hair
pins.
B. Attach spinner motor assembly (3) to heights
adjustment bracket (1) using ½-13 screws and nuts.
C. If extra clearance required, use upper holes in
heights adjustment bracket.
D. Attach spinner shield (7) to heights adjustment
bracket (1) using 5/16-18 screws and nuts.
E. Attach spinner disk (4) to motor shaft using
clevis pin and cotter pin.
J. Keeping the spinner assembly level, secure the
spinner frame in place using the set screw or 5/1618 hex screw.
3. 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.
Figure 4
F. The leveling mechanism may now be mounted.
Park truck on flat, level surface. With spinner
assembly in level position, carefully measure “L”
and “D” distances. Use any of 3 available holes in
heights adjustment bracket. Locate angle (15) such
that ½” hole will position with D1=D and L1=L.
Modify angle if necessary.
G. Secure angle (15) to the truck frame.
H. Attach parallel linkage rods (13) to heights
adjustment bracket and angle. Secure them using
½” washers and hair pins.
I. Clamp parallel linkage rods together. To verify
leveling action, slowly raise the dump. Be sure that
spinner motor assembly and linkages do not have
any interference with truck body and it does not
have contact with the road. After checking weld
parallel linkage bars together.
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.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT CONTROLLER IN THE WAY OF AIR
BAG DEPLOYMENT!
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
heat can damage the wire harnesses. Use quick ties to
secure harness to underbody.
J. Connect the wire harness to the motor. Make sure wire
colors on wire harness match colors on the motor.

K. Connect the power cable directly to the battery.
L. Insure all functions of the controller are
working properly.
M. Observe auger moving in proper direction. If direction is
wrong reverse wires between Motor and Wire Harness.
N. Optional spot light (5 AMP max) can be installed on
spreader. Remove cap from single white wire. Connect light
to this wire and trucks frame.

IMPORTANT Make sure all wires securely attached to
vehicle or spreader. Use wire ties and/or wire clamps
to attach wires. All excess wires must be rolled into
bungles and attached to vehicle or spreader.
