REMOVAL OF PARTS FROM CARTON
Remove all parts and hardware packages from the car-
ton. Lay out all parts and hardware and identify using the
illustrations on pages 2 and 3.
1. Turn the spreader upside down as shown in figure 1.
2. Press the two plugs into the ends of the frame tube.
See figure 1.
HINT: Use a block of wood to help press the plug down
into the end of the tubing.
.
Assemble the two angle brackets and two 1/4" nylock
nuts onto the ends of the longer bolts that are already
assemble to the frame tube. Do not tighten yet. See

Fasten the deflector to the angle brackets using two
1/4" x 3/4" hex bolts, 1/4" flat washers and 1/4" nylock
nuts. Allow the angle brackets to swivel so that the
deflector curves naturally between the angle brack-
ets and then tighten all nuts. See figure 2.

Position the spreader for adequate clear- I
ance if the vehicle muffler discharges
straight toward the rear.
NOTE: The top of the hopper should be at least 30"
above the ground. The mounting holes shown in
figures 3 and 4 will make the top of the hopper even
with the vehicle's rear rack. If exhaust blows against
spreader, a higher mounting position may help.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, determine if the mount-
ing brackets, when attached directly to the spreader
frame, will fit onto the vehicle rack. If they need to be
farther apart, use the extension brackets in figure 4.
If you are NOT using extension brackets:
5. Attach the R.H. mounting bracket to the frame tube
using two 5/16" x 2" hex bolts and 5/16" nylock nuts
as shown in figure 3. Tighten. Repeat for the L.H.
mounting bracket.
