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
solenoid and 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. Connect the negative battery terminal to the battery hold down post. 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.

WARNING
1. Raise engine cover.
2. Locate the prop rod and remove it
from the plastic retainer allowing the
prop rod to swing down.
3. Locate the hole on the spreader
marked “insert prop rod here” and
slowly lower the engine cover until the
prop rod fully engages in to this hole.
4. Carefully release the engine cover

To prevent injury extreme caution must be used when opening, closing, or working under or near the engine
cover. To prevent the engine cover from falling the prop rod must be fully engaged into the proper hole.
Never operate or transport the spreader with the engine cover open.
Some maintenance proceedures may require the engine cover to be completley removed from the spreader to
allow full access to the gasoline engine or other components. The engine cover must be reinstalled and in the
closed position before starting engine or operating spreader.

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,
and excessive movement. It is highly recommended that
wiring 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

INSTALLATION AND INSTRUCTIONAL MANUAL
xxxxx-xxx-xx month/day/year
PV SERIES
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The PV Series Spreader can be mounted and stored
as a single unit. The PV Series Spreader will mount
on most medium or heavy-duty pickup trucks as well
as 1 ton trucks (with optional extended spinner).
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE
It is quite possible to overload the vehicle by im-
properly mounting or overloading the spreader. This
could result in dangerous stability and braking prob-
lems. Always consult and follow the vehicle manu-
facturer’s recommendations before attempting these
instructions.
1. Place the spreader in the rear of the truck with
the engine/motor to the rear of the truck. Center the
spreader(side to side) in the truck.
2. Attach or lower spinner assembly.
3. Position the spreader in the truck bed, just short of making
contact with the rear most part of the truck bed, bum-
per, pintle hook etc. Bolt the unit to the truck using a
minimum of four (4) 1/2” Grade 5 bolts and correspond-
ing washers and locknuts. The spreader is designed to
sit at on the bed of the truck, supported by the longitu-
dinal sides.
DO NOT SUPPORT THE SPREADER BY THE BODY
JACKS ALONE! UNIT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR CHASSIS
MOUNT APPLICATIONS!
5. Attach the hold down at each corner of the hopper
as shown. Locate and drill four .531(17/32”) diameter
holes for eyebolts in the truck bed. Straps must be po-
sitioned at opposing angles so that the spreader cannot
slide forward or rearward. Assemble ratchet/strap to
eye bolts. Tighten hold downs evenly. Do not overtight-
en, damage will result to the spreader or the truck.
Note: If vehicle is equipped with sufcient
tie downs, they may be used in place of
eyebolts.
