FOREWORD
This tailgate spreader is designed to fit 96 inch wide dump bodies. It is available in six configurations to
match the desired sand or salt delivery rate and the body design.
This manual contains information for mounting the tailgate spreader on a dump body. Study it carefully
before attempting to mount the tailgate spreader. With proper installation, use, and regular maintenance,
the tailgate spreader will give many years of trouble free service.
When ordering parts, be sure to give the serial number of the tailgate spreader. The seri-
al number of the spreader is stamped into the right end (passenger side) panel near the au-
ger drive motor. For future reference, record this number NOW in the space provid-
ed above. Order parts by number and description as given in the parts listing in this manual.
