4. Position braces (23) on top of side rails. Using
holes in braces as guides mark and drill holes for
3/8" screws.
5. Attach braces to side rails using 3/8" screws, flat
washers and nuts.
6. Center spreader assembly on top of rear bumper
and align with Angle (24).
7. Attach Mounting Angles (22) to spreader frame.
8. Make sure spreader frame is vertical. Using
holes in Angle (24), mark and drill holes for 3/8"
screws in Mounting Angle (22).
9. Using holes in spreader frame as guides, mark
and drill holes for 3/8" screws in rear bumper.
10. Assembly spreader to Angles (24) and rear
bumper. Adjust position of Angles (24) to bring
spreader into vertical position. Tighten all screws
at this moment.
11. Close tube with plastic caps provided.
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.

Electrical Installation (fig. 2)
1. Lay out path for the Red Wire (0203800) in the
truck’s engine compartment. This wire will be
connected to positive terminal on truck’s battery.
Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one to
pass wire into cab. Do not route close to exhaust
system!
2. Lay out a wiring path for the Wire Assembly
222" long (0203600) toward rear bumper. Drill all
necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the
flat blade connector into the trucks cab. Attach
harness to truck’s frame. Do not route close to
exhaust system!
3. Install Socket Assembly (0203200) near rear
bumper. Remove paint/ primer and attach black
wire of this assembly to truck frame. Doing this
will insure good connection.
4. Connect Wire Assembly (0203600) to Socket
Assembly (0203200).
5. Mount the Controller (3006587) in a convenient
location in the truck cab. Connect Black ground
wire to truck’s frame or battery negative post (addi-
tional wire is required). Connection to battery neg-
ative post is recommended for newer trucks (2000
and up). It is recommended not to mount Controller
directly in front of the heat vents.
6. Make sure that the Controller is OFF. Connect
blue wire’s small female terminal to Controller’s
connector on controller’s rear wall. Connect the
blue wire to an accessory wire/terminal that is
controlled by the vehicle’s ignition switch. Connect
battery wire and 222" wire assembly to Controller.
7. Connect the Red Wire (0203800) ring terminals
to the battery positive post.

8. Attach Adapter (3009863) to Socket Assembly
(0203200).
9. Connect Red motor wire to Red adapter wire and
Black motor wire to Black adapter.
10. Make sure Controller is OFF, start the truck.
11. Turn Controller ON. Adjust speed to desired
setting. Do not change speed abruptly! It may
stall motor.
12. Observe spinner direction of rotation. The cor-
rect direction is counter clock wise when looking
inside hopper from the top. If direction is clock
wise reverse wires between Motor and Adapter.
IMPORTANT
Make sure all wires securely attached to vehicle or
spreader’s frame. Use wire ties and/or wire clamps
to attach wires. All excess wires must be rolled into
bungles and attached to vehicle or spreader.
Spreader Maintenance
1. This spreader is designed to use loose free float-
ing materials such as #1 dry Rock Salt. Using differ-
ent grades and/or wet material will affect spreader
performance. Wet material can “bridge" and stop
floating onto spinner disk.
2. Make sure lid is installed and latches are
secured when spreader is in use.
3. Do not leave material in hopper between uses.
4. Do not drive with material in hopper.
5. Always clean/wash hopper at the end of the day.
6. Spray lubricant around motor shaft to prevent
water from penetrating into the motor.
7. Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connec-
tors between uses and for long term storage.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to install or remove spreader with
material in it.
