SPREADER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting the Spreader onto the Vehicle
(Continued)
3. Before lowering the spreader, place lengths of
lumber (2" x 4" x 48" minimum) under the side ribs.
By elevating the spreader off of the vehicle, it is
easier to remove excess material that accumulates
under the spreader.
4. Center the spreader on the vehicle with the end of
the spreader sills 11" to the rear of the nearest
vertical obstructions (bumper, trailer hitch, etc.).
5. Measure the distance from the front of the
truckbed to the sills and make a spacer to place
between the bed and the rails.
6. Bolt the spreader to the vehicle frame through the
lengths of lumber using the holes located at each
lower support leg. Use 1/2" hardware as required
by vehicle application. If 2 x 4’s are not directly
over the truck box supports the truckbed must be
braced to the frame to prevent buckling or
deforming the truckbed.
WARNING
Spreader shall be bolted to vehicle frame. Do
not rely on the tie-down chains alone to hold
spreader in vehicle.
