OPERATING SPREADER:
1. For operating hydraulic system, follow same procedures as for preparing spreader for use.
2. Any valve knob setting changes may be made while truck is in motion.
3. Spinner and auger may be stopped at the same time, without changing their valve settings, by
moving ON-OFF lever to “OFF” position.
4. For normal use of dump truck, cover plate may be laid flat over spreader trough and locked in place.
Dump body tailgate may be opened from top or bottom.
5. When using truck for normal hauling and dumping, it is recommended that hydraulic safety interlock be
disconnected. Feed hose out of slot and place hose end in hose holder under bottom door. Push dust cap
over disconnect at end of hose.
6. Pivot upper end of disconnect around to end of spreader. Push plug into end of disconnect while at same
time position strap (on plug) in slot at forward end of fitting support bracket (which is welded to spreader
endplate).
7. Refer to safety interlock danger decal on trough cover plate for proper use of safety interlock.
8. To avoid spinner damage, spinner may be removed when truck is used for extensive hauling. Protect
hydraulic quick disconnects with appropriate plugs and caps.

PREPARING SPREADER FOR USE:
1. Position spreader cover plate vertically and secure with latches.
2. With dump body empty, unlatch dump body tailgate from bottom and open as wide as possible
but not bearing against cover plate, set the stop (or spread) chains.
3. Loosen spinner lock and slide spinner assembly to far left and retighten lock. (Position
for spreading three or four lane highway from right lane.)
4. Start truck engine and allow hydraulic system to warm up by shutting off spinner and
auger knobs and moving ON-OFF lever to “ON” position.
5. Move ON-OFF lever to “OFF” position after warming up.
6. Put spreading material in dump body and raise dump body to fill spreader trough.
7. Lower dump body to safe position.
8. Open spinner and auger knobs, and move ON-OFF lever to “ON” position. Spread small amount of
material to determine placement of material at various spinner and auger speeds with spinner in this far left
position.
9. Move valve lever to “OFF” position and shut off truck engine.
10. Loosen spinner lock and slide spinner assembly to far right and retighten lock. (Position for
spreading behind truck and to extreme right covering up to four lanes from left lane.)
11. Start truck engine.
12. Open spinner and auger knobs, and move ON-OFF lever to “ON” position. Spread small amount of
material to determine placement of material at various spinner and auger speeds with spinner in this
far right position.
13. It should now be visible that various spread patterns may be obtained by placing spinner at various
positions from left to right, and by changing spinner speeds on valve.
