Safety Precautions
WARNING
Observe the following Safety Precautions before, during and
after operating this spreader. By following these precautions
and common sense, possible injury to persons and potential
damage to this machine may be avoided.
1. Read this entire Owners Manual before operating this
spreader.
2. Read all safety decals on the spreader before operating.
3. Check to make sure all safety guards are securely mount-
ed into place before operating this spreader.
4. Verify that all personnel are clear of the spreader spray
area before starting or operating this spreader.
5. Do not overload your vehicle beyond payload
limits. If there are any questions, contact the vehicle
manufacturer.
6. Do not adjust, clean, lubricate or unclog material jams
without first turning off the spreader.
7. Do not climb on or in the spreader during operation.
8. Do not ride on the spreader while the vehicle is in motion.
9. Make sure the spreader is securely fastened to the vehicle
in accordance with this manual.
10. Do not operate a spreader that is in need of maintenance
or repairs.
11. Always disconnect the battery before removing or
replacing electrical components.
Installation Instructions
1. Mounting the Spreader onto the Vehicle
A. Remove the tailgate from the vehicle.
B. Check the truck bed for any sharp debris or foreign
objects. These can cut and seriously damage poly
hopper.
Use All Tiedowns to Lift the Spreader

C. Lift spreader using tie downs. See (Fig. 1)
D. Slide spreader forward in truck bed until the steps on
rear legs of the spreader make contact with truck’s bed.
Measure the distance from the front of the truck bed to
front of the hopper's front legs. Fabricate spacer to fit
between front of the spreader and front of the bed per
Fig. 2.
E. Center the spreader from side to side on the vehicle.
Securely strap the spreader to the truck using four
ratchet straps as shown. (Fig. 3) Front straps must be
attached to anchor points located in front of the spread-
er to create longitudinal stability for the spreader.
Rear straps must be tightened evenly to secure the
spreader in the middle of the truck. Criss-cross straps
can be used.
Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the factory
installed anchor points are designed for tie-down of such
load. Inspect straps and hardware after each time spreader
is loaded. Tighten straps and hardware if necessary.

WARNING
Use extreme caution when working around an operating
vehicle engine.
A. Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness.
Connect the Wire Harness smaller terminal to the
Chute’s harness, large terminal to the Hopper’s har-
ness. Drill all necessary holes or use existing ones to
pass the round connector into the trucks cab. Secure
harness to truck’s frame.
B. Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. Do not mount controller directly in front of the heat
vents. Allow ample air space around controller. Protect
controller from water, dirt and dust.
C. Apply dielectric grease or similar compound to
connectors before assembly. Connect the round
connector on the wire harness to the round connector
on the controller.
D. Lay out path for the power cable in the truck’s engine
compartment. Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing
one to pass the wire harness. Passing the power cable
from inside of the cab to the battery is recommended to
protect the large high amperage connector. Do not route
the power cable close to exhaust system!
E. Connect power cable connector to controller.
F. Connect the power cable ring terminals to the truck
battery, white-positive, and black-negative.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT CONTROLLER IN WAY OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT
2. Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A. Attach the Chute Assembly to the spreader, by
hooking the chute to the spreader by openings in
the chute handle.
B. Rotate the Chute into operating position and lock using
two spring latches.
WARNING
Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electrical
wiring, etc that may be damaged by drilling.
ATTENTION
Do not connect black (negative) wire to any part of vehicles
frame. Connect this terminal to battery’s negative terminal.
Fig. 4
Fig. 5
3. Install Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness
(See Fig. 6). NOTE: THIS IS A WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM! NO CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK'S FRAME OR
BODY ALLOWED!
Always disconnect battery before attempting to install
electrical components on your vehicle.
To insure good performance of your spreader, check the
condition of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter,
check alternator and battery voltage. The voltage reading
should fall between 13.6 and 15.3 volts with engine running,
head lights and heater fan turned on. If voltage reading falls
out of this range, check and adjust your electric system.
G. Make sure that the Controller is OFF. Connect the
small female terminal on the blue wire to the controller
Ignition (single red) wire. Connect the blue wire to an
accessory wire, terminal or fuse that is controlled by
the vehicle’s ignition switch located in the fuse panel
inside the truck cab. Do not connect blue wire to high
amperage fuse or terminal.
H. Attach utility light kit (optional) to spreader hopper in
desired location. Connect as shown in Fig. 6. Use utility
light kit part number 3018009.

Spreader Operation
1. Different materials absorb moisture at different rates and
some materials may not perform as desired. Substitution
of an alternative material may be necessary for optimum
performance.
2. When filling hopper use the supplied screen to prevent
large chunks of material and debris in the material to
get into hopper and cause damage.
3. Material must never be left in hopper for an extended
period of time. Material will absorb moisture, bind,
harden and could prevent spreader from proper operation
or may damage the spreader.

Controller Warnings
Check controller instruction sheet for latest controller
updates and troubleshooting codes. Controller instruction
sheet is inside controller shipping box.
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER, DO NOT DISCARD
CONTROLLER INSTRUCTION SHEET. STAPLE SHEET
TO SPREADER MANUAL AND GIVE TO END USER!
Note: To unclog auger manually, first remove the chute. Apply
1¼" open wrench on auger’s nut. Turn auger counterclock-
wise several times.
Note: Do not run the vibrator longer than 30 minutes with 15
minutes between runs to avoid overheating.
Spreader Maintenance
1. Wash spreader after every use. Make sure no material is
left under auger and/or inside trough.
2. Inspect and retighten fasteners after every 5-7 hours of
operation.
3. Lubricate bearing every 7-10 hours of operation using
general automotive grease.
4. Inspect terminals/connectors every time you disconnect
spreader from wire harness. Apply thin layer of dielectric
grease on terminals. If any tarnish/corrosion is found,
clean terminals and apply dielectric grease.
5. Use dielectric grease on all electrical connectors before
an electrical connection is made or after connector is
disconnected
6. Grease and spray with lubricant Auger bearing after every
20 hours of use.
7. Empty the spreader of all ice control materials when not in
use. Wash out the spreader to prevent material builds up.
8. It is recommended to cover spreader with the tarp during
storage periods. Tarp can be attached to anchors on both
sides of tie downs.
WARNING
Always disconnect power when servicing spreader.
End of Season Maintenance
1.
Wash spreader. Make sure no material or residue is left in
and outside the hopper.
2.
Lubricate bearing using general automotive grease.
3.
Inspect wire harness, connectors for broken insulation,
missing components. Replace if necessary.
4.
Apply dielectric grease on all electrical connectors.
5.
Store hopper indoors, in a dry, cool place.
6.
Remove controller from truck. Store controller indoors, in a
dry, cool place.
Summer Storage
1.
Apply dielectric grease or similar protective compound on
all electrical connectors & protect them with caps before
storage.
2. Disconnect and remove speed controller from vehicle
and store it in dry and cool place. Protect controller from
excessive heat and moisture.
3. Clean hopper and trough from all kinds of debris.
4. Remove, thoroughly lubricate and reinstall trough bearing.
5. Protect hopper from excessive temperatures during
summer storage.
