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.

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.

Transmitter Battery Replacement
The Transmitter uses a standard CR2032 lithium button cell battery. In normal use it will provide 1 to 2
years of operation. To replace the Transmitter battery, gently press and slide the battery cover off.
Remove the battery by sliding (NOT lifting) it out from underneath the retainer (see Fig. 4). Observe the
battery polarity when replacing (“+” showing face up).
N
otes:
1. If the battery looses power or is removed the Transmitter and Base Unit may need to be reprogrammed
(see reprogramming Transmitter and Base Unit instructions). Check Transmitter functional buttons to
verify if reprogramming is necessary.
2. When removing lithium battery, please use caution to slide not lift the battery from the controller! If
excess force is used to remove the battery (example: lifting the battery with a small screw driver) – the
solder connections from the battery clip to the circuit board could be pried loose. This action is not
covered under warranty.

Other Considerations
1. Powering off the engine will not automatically power off the Clutch (engagement of
conveyor/spinner). If clutch remains engaged, after engine is turned off, it could lead to a slow
2. If an unregulated voltage (example: sparking the battery cable terminal to the 12V battery post.) is
sent to the Base Unit it could erase the Base Unit programming. The remote may show signs of
no longer working with the Base Unit. Reprogramming will be required. When 14Amps are
supplied the Base Unit circuit board is designed to shut off. See additional trouble shooting
comments.
3. Only one transmitter at a time can be activated within a reception area. Only one carrier of a
particular frequency may occupy the same airspace at a given time. This means that if two
transmitters are activated in the same area at the same time the signals will interfere and the decode
r
on the receiver will not see a valid transmission and the wireless controller will not function.
4. Multiple Transmitters can be programmed to (1) Base Unit.
5. To verify the Base Unit is receiving a signal from the Transmitter. Press a button on the Transmitter -
“red” LED on the Base Unit will light-up.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. To verify the Transmitter and Base Unit are working together: Once the base unit has power the
“red” LED will come on when the Transmitter buttons are depressed (Cover of Base Unit will need
to be removed to see “red” LED). If the “red” LED does not come on, the Base Unit is NOT
getting a signal from the Transmitter.
Possible Solutions:
A. Reprogramming the Transmitter and Base Unit might be required.
B. Base Unit might not be functioning properly (see Base Unit trouble shooting below).
C. Transmitter might not be functioning properly. (see Transmitter trouble shooting below).
2. Base Unit Programming Lose: If an unregulated voltage (spark) is sent to the Base Unit from a
power source the Base Unit could lose its programming. The voltage spike will not damage the
Base Unit or Transmitter. Unregulated voltage could generate from the following:
- Connecting battery cables to a 12V battery source.
- Charging the 12V battery.
Possible Solutions:
A. Reprogramming the Transmitter and Base Unit may be required.
B. Base Unit might be damaged, a new Base Unit & Transmitter will need to be ordered.
3. Base Unit does not function properly: (example: “red” LED will not light up when “LEARN”
button is depressed on Base Unit).
Possible Solutions:
A. Check/verify voltage of 12V is being supplied by the 12V battery. Lower voltages than 12V
will not allow the Base Unit to function properly.
B. Confirm all wires on engine wire harness are secure and properly connected.
C. Base Unit could be damaged, a new Base Unit & Transmitter will need to be ordered.
4. Transmitter does not have power: (example: “blue” LED will not light up when “ADD” button is
depressed on Transmitter).
Possible Solutions:
A. Verify tool diameter (example: paperclip) to depress Transmitter “ADD” button is small
enough to enter the “ADD” button hole.
B. Verify the lithium button cell battery polarity is correct (“+” will be facing up).
C. If the Transmitter is 1-2 years old, check the lithium battery voltage with a meter or replace the
battery as needed (CR2032 lithium button cell battery).
D. Transmitter could be damaged, a new Transmitter will need to be ordered.
5. General troubleshooting:
A. Try to Program/reprogram the Transmitter and Base Unit.
B. Verify the Ground wires (all wires) are secure.
C. Check connections to the components that the unit is trying to operate using a voltmeter.
WARNING

HYDRAULICS
LEAKING HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS CAN INJECT THEMSELVES UNDER THE SKIN OF PERSONS
NEAR A LEAK, CREATING GRAVE MEDICAL RISKS. TAKE CARE TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO
HIGH PRESSURE FLUIDS.
1 . Hydraulic components should be kept as clean as possible during assembly operations.
2. Galvanized pipe and pipe fittings must not be used because flaking or galvanizing material can cause
damage to major hydraulic components.
3. A pipe joint sealant, compatible with hydraulic oil, must be applied to all screwed fittings. (Teflon tape is not
recommended.)
4. Hose should be protected where severe wear may be caused by vibration or sliding movement.
5. Long runs of hose should be supported by tie wiring or clamping.
6. Pressure and return hoses, connected to hydraulic motors, may be reversed for proper motor rotation.
Spinner rotates in a clockwise direction when looking down from top.
7. Use hose manufacturer’s recommendations for fitting re-useable hose ends.
8. Hydraulic pumps must be mounted so shaft rotates in direction of arrow.
9. Locate reservoir as close to pump as possible. It may be installed on truck frame or truck box.
10. Hydraulic return line filter is screwed directly onto reservoir with cartridge down. Oil must flow through filter
in direction of arrow on filter.
11. Install the quick connect couplings so that when disconnected, there is a male and female on the truck as
well as on the spreader. This way, hoses will always be hooked up properly. and hose ends can be coupled
together when spreader is in storage to prevent system contamination.
