INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The 1.8 and 2.0 Series Spreaders can mount and store as a single unit and will mount on most medium,
heavy-duty/pick-up trucks as well as 1 ton trucks
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE. It is quite possible to overload the vehicle by improperly mounting or over
loading the spreader. This could result in dangerous stability and braking problems. Always consult and follow the
truck manufacturer’s instructions.
BEFORE BEGINING ANY INSTALLATION ON THIS UNIT,disconnect the spreader battery negative cable if
already installed.
1. Place the Spreader in the rear of truck with the engine/hydraulic motor to the rear of the truck. Center the
spreader (side to side) in the truck. The spreader should extend past the rear of the outer most part of the truck
(i.e: truck bed, bumper) approximately 18 inches.
INSURE THAT THE SPREADER CANNOT TIP WHEN THE SPINNER ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED
SPINNER ASSEMBLY
a. Raise engine shroud and prop it open with the support rod. (If engine driven model)
b. Slide the spinner frame assembly into the rear of the longitudinal with the spinner back plate toward the
rear.
c. Bolt the spinner to the longitudinals using the four (4) 3/8” x 1” bolts, 3/8” flange nuts and flatwashers from
hardware bag located on the spinner. Using two (2) 3/8” x 1” bolts, flatwashers and flange nuts from
hardware bag, bolt the top portion of the spinner back plate to the engine plate.
d. Install roller chain between the gear box sprocket and the spinner sprocket.
Make sure sprockets are in line with each other. The roller chain is tightened first by loosening all four (4)
3/8” bolts on the back plate; then pull the entire bearing/shaft assembly in such a way to achieve the proper
amount of chain tension. Make sure the spinner shaft is straight up and down before
re-tightening.
2. Reposition the spreader in the truck, just short of making contact with the rearmost part of the truckbed,
bumper, pintle hook etc. Bolt the unit to the truck using a minimum of four (4) 1/2” - grade 5 bolts and
corresponding washers and locknuts.
The spreader is designed to sit flat on the bed of the truck, supported by the longitudinals/sides.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE SPREADER BY THE BODY JACKS ALONE!! UNIT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR
CHASSIS MOUNT APPLICATIONS!
THE SPREADER UNIT MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED TO THE VEHICLE. FAILURE TO NOT
PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE UNIT COULD PERMIT THE UNIT TO BREAK FREE FROM THE TRUCK
AND CREATE A POTENTIAL FOR A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING
Before starting, verify that this mounting is acceptable to the vehicle manufacturer.
Attach the hold down at each corner of hopper as shown. Locate and drill four .531
(17/32”) diameter holes for eye-bolts in the truck bed (position may vary from that shown). Straps must be
positioned at opposing angles so that spreader cannot slide forward or rearward. Mount eye-bolts as
shown, with locknuts and flatwashers on the bottom side. Assemble ratchet/strap to eye-bolts. Tighten
hold downs evenly. Do not over tighten damage will result to the spreader or the truck.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION FOR
ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROLS
(FACTORY INSTALLED ACTUATORS)
BEFORE BEGINING ANY INSTALLATION ON THIS UNIT,disconnect the spreader battery
negative cable if already installed.
PREPARING UNIT:
1. Spreaders with factory installed throttle controls do not require installer hook-up to the engine. The
actuator has been installed and tested at the factory.
2. Raise the engine shroud and securely prop it in place with the prop rod. The installer will have to remove
the ties securing the coiled actuator cable to the top of the engine.
3. The throttle actuator cable plugs into the in-cab control panel after being routed from the cab of the
vehicle to the rear of the mounted spreader.
4. Select a suitable location in the cab of the vehicle to mount the throttle control box.
Consult vehicle manufacturer for acceptable mounting locations. Improperly mounting the control box could
interfere with air bag(s) and the other functions of the occupant protection systems, such as knee bolsters!
5. After the location of the control panel is determined, the cable must be routed to the front of the spreader,
Route cable under the cab and up to the front of the spreader securing as needed. Allow enough cable for
the control panel to be mounted in the cab.
6. The routed cable must be clear of all moving or hot parts on the spreader or vehicle. Secure the cable with
the ties provided. Excess cable must be coiled up and secured. Apply dielectric grease on connecting
Conductor Cables for protection from salt spreading enviorment.
7. Mount the control panel (with screws supplied).
8. For permanent cable mount at rear of the truck, a mounting bracket is supplied.
9. Install a 12 volt battery with 40 ampere hour rating, recommended for winter use (if not already done). The
battery hold-downs furnished will accept any 2 SM Series battery.

WARNING
USE SAFETY GLASSES OR OTHER FACE PROTECTION AGAINST POSSIBLE BATTERY
EXPLOSION. DO NOT SMOKE AND AVOID OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
10. Attach the positive battery cable (each end should have a rubber boot) to the positive terminal of the
battery. Make sure these protective boots are covering the positive terminal post on the battery and on
the solenoid. Attach one end of the remaining battery cable to the negative terminal of the battery.
11. When finished, make sure all wires are away from moving parts and lower engine shroud.
12. Plug cable from spreader into socket mounted on truck.
Never operate machine with engine shroud in the upright position. Never climb into hopper
while the engine is operating or capable of being operated.
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH MIGHT OCCUR.
NOTE: Read and fully understand the owners manual supplied by the engine manufacturer
before operating this equipment. Not doing so, endangers your safety and the warranty
of the engine.

CENTER HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMP (CHSML)
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require all Trucks, Buses, and Multipurpose passenger
vehicles, manufactured on or after September 1, 1993, with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
of 10,000 lbs. or less and overall width less than 80" must be equipped with a Center Height
Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL).
If the original equipment CHMSL is obscured, an auxiliary CHMSL must be installed to bring
vehicle back into compliance with Federal Regulations.
Electrical Connection for Auxiliary CHMSL:
(Notes for all truck makes)
1. Use high quality butt connectors and shrink wrap on all electrical splice connections. Wire should be routed
and secured to protect against abrasion, sharp edges, excessive movement. It is highly recommend that
wiring to be placed in convoluted tubing and secured with tie wraps.
2. When drilling holes, any bare metal should be coated with a rust preventative, use appropriate size grommets
and seal hole with appropriate sealant.
3. Allow for normal movement / twisting between cab and chassis / pickup box when routing wires.
4. When spreader is removed from the truck, the OEM CHMSL must be reconnected.
Consult the truck manufacturer for an approved method of connecting an auxiliary CHMSL to the particular truck
which is to carry the Spreader. Methods vary with truck models, optional equipment and years of manufacture.
IMPROPER CONNECTIONS COULD RESULT IN A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS AFFECTING CRITICAL SYSTEMS
SUCH AS BRAKING, ELECTRICAL AND EMISSION ! DON'T GUESS !
PV Spreader CHMSL Installation:
Mount power cable (62738) with plug at rear of truck frame and route to truck CHMSL power feed. Trim excess
cable length, attach white wire to suitable ground, attach black wire to truck's CHMSL power feed. Connect
cable on spreader to CHMSL power cable.
When the spreader is removed from the truck, the OEM CHMSL must be reconnected.
