General
• Read this manual and the manual of the vehicle you are
attaching the hitch and spreader onto. Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. Know
how to stop the vehicle and disengage the controls quickly.
• The spreader is intended for use in lawn care and snow/ice
melt applications only.
• Do not use for applications other than those intended by
the manufacturer.
• Do not let an untrained person or children operate
spreader.
• Do not let anyone, especially children, ride on the hitch or
the spreader. Riders are subject to injury such as being
struck by foreign objects and being thrown off. Riders may
also obstruct the operator's view, resulting in the vehicle
being operated in an unsafe manner.
• Keep bystanders away when you operate spreader.
• Keep hands, feet, clothing, hair, and loose items away from
any moving parts. Failure to check could cause personal
injury.
• To prevent injury to hand:
- Never place hands into hopper or adjust Accuway
Directional Control while motor is running.
- If using hand to open or close gate actuator, use
extension.
Safety
Personal Protective Equipment
• Always wear ear and eye protection when operating the
spreader.
• Wear appropriate clothing, footwear, and safety equipment
when operating spreader.
• Do not operate the spreader when barefoot or wearing
open sandals.
This Spreader is designed to be attached
to 4-Wheel Vehicles only
While significant effort was made to ensure that the
recommended vehicles are safe for operation, it is up
to the operator to use the spreader and vehicle with
the following safe operating practices.
• When spreader is attached to vehicle, be aware that handling
characteristics of vehicle may be affected. To prevent loss
of control when spreader is attached to vehicle.
- Read spreader Operators Manual.
- Allow for longer braking distances.
- Vehicle speed should be less than 10mph. Speed
should always be slow enough to maintain control.
If your vehicle manual specifies a speed slower than
10 mph when carrying loads, then do not exceed
specified speed.
- Do not drive on slopes greater than 10 degrees.
- Empty spreader hopper and travel slowly while going
up and down trailer ramps.
• Do not drive on wet slopes. Slippery conditions reduce
traction and could cause loss of control.
• Look behind machine before you back up. Back up
carefully.
• Travel slowly over rough terrain.
• Do not load spreader hopper with more than the maximum
weight capacity.
• Do not operate without securing the spreader to the
vehicle with the supplied ratchet straps.

UTV - Mounting Hitch to Utility Terrain Vehicle
The following UTV specifications are recommended. Review
your Vehicle Operators Manual for your vehicle specifications.
• Must have a 2.0" receiver hitch or an adaptor to accept a
2.0" receiver hitch AND
• Minimum vehicle dry weight of 1050 lb AND
• Minimum wheelbase of 70.9" AND
• Minimum payload capacity of 800lb AND
• Vehicle tire pressure is at manufacturer's recommended
settings AND
• The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) must never exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of machine. Failure
to do so may limit a machines handling characteristics.
To calculate GVW, add the following:
(A) Empty Vehicle Weight
(Full fluids. See vehicle operators manual)
(B) Occupant Weight
(Driver + Passenger if applicable)
(C) Cargo Box Load Weight
(Do not exceed maximum cargo box capacity)
(D) Optional Vehicle Accessories Weight
(Cab, snow blade, etc)
(E) Spreader Weight
(See capacities section)

dimension "B" is 15" off the ground.
NOTE: In the Spyker conguration, the Spreader
Mount (3) can be inverted 180 degrees to allow for
more movement down

Align the spreader to the hitch mount (3).
Add a 1/2" at washer (12) to each of
four 1/2" x 3" hex head bolts (10).
Slide these bolts through the spreader and hitch
mount as illustrated.
After each bolt passes through, secure from

9. Mounting the Spreader
Align the spreader to the adaptor plate (16).
Add a 1/4" at washer (19) to two 1/4" x 1" hex
head bolts (17). Slide these bolts through the
hitch mount and spreader as illustrated.
After bolts pass through, secure each with
an additional 1/4" at washer (19) and 1/4" hex
nut (21)
Next, add a a 5/16" washer (20) to a 5/16" x 1"
hex bolt (18). At the base of the adaptor
plate (16) run the bolt through the small gap and
secure on the outside with another 5/16" washer
(20) and a 5/16" lock nut (22).
Repeat this process on the opposite side.

10. For Spyker S80-12010 Spreader, load the hopper with 120 lb ballast. For Lesco 102479 Truckster
Spreader, load hopper with 80 lb ballast.
13. Measure the spreader fan height to the ground
with 120 lbs loaded in the hopper.
The correct spreader fan height is 22" off the ground. If the
fan is not 22" off the ground, all the ballast must be removed,
and Steps 8, 9, and 10 must be repeated until the spreader
fan is 22" from the ground.
14. To lock the spreader fan angle in place, loosen the nylon
lock nuts (6) and adjust the carriage bolt (9) down until the
head of the bolt is touching the top of the hitch tube (1), then
re tighten down nylon lock nuts (6).
15. After locking the spreader fan angle in place from
Step 14, check all bolts and nuts to be sure they are
tight and secure.
16. The spreader must be secured with ratchet straps
(not included) before use. Secure one end of the strap to
the spreader frame and the opposite end of the strap to
the UTV roll cage or bed.
...if not,
skip to Step 13.
11. To adjust the spreader fan angle, all ballast must be removed.
Using the slot in the adjustment plate (3) rotate the spreader mount (2)
and the adjustment plate backward.
12. Tighten the 3/8" hex bolt (4) and the 3/8" nylon lock nut that go through
the slot in the adjustment plate (3) and the hole in the hitch tube (1).
NOTE: Repeat steps 10, 11, and 12 until the spreader fan is level with
the ground while the hopper is filled with 120 lb of ballast.
