By following these precautions and common sense, possible injury to persons and potential damage to this machine may be avoided.. Read this entire Owner s Manual before operating this spreader.. Read all safety decals on the spreader before operating the spreader. IF DECALS BECAME DEFACED- REPLACE!. Check to make sure all safety guards are securely mounted into place before operating this spreader.. Verify that all personnel are clear of the spreader spray area before starting or operating this spreader.. Keep all loose clothing, hair, jewelry and limbs clear of the spreader before starting or operating this spreader.. Do not over-load your vehicle beyond payload limits. If there are any questions, contact the vehicle manufacturer.. Do not adjust, clean, oil or unclog material jams without first turning off the spreader. 8. Do not climb on or in the spreader during operation. Do not ride on the spreader while the vehicle is in motion. 9. Make sure the spreader is securely fastened to the vehicle in accordance with this manual. 0. Do not operate a spreader that is in need of maintenance or repairs.. Always disconnect the wire harness before removing or replacing any electrical components.. Make sure that spreader solidly supported when it is being mounted, dismounted or stored. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Dump Body Mounting. Remove the tailgate from the vehicle if applicable.. Lift the spreader using the () lifting loops in the corners of the hopper. WARNING The lifting device must be adequately rated to lift a payload equal to or greater than the spreader weight. See page for spreader weights. Empty the spreader before lifting. Chassis Mounting. Hardwood wear strips usually " x " (not furnished) must be fitted to the truck chassis.. The spreader should be positioned on the wooden wear strips so hopper sills must overhang 0" beyond the back end of the vehicle.. In addition a distance of approximately "-" must be left between the truck cab and the front of the hopper. This will help facilitate any future servicing of the conveyor chain.. Qualified installer must fabricate suitable angles to attach hopper cross members to track s frame. DO NOT weld mounting angles to the truck frame. Doing so can cause fatigue cracking of the truck frame. Chute Installation. Bolt chute to Chute Guide using screws, washers and nuts. Place washers between Chute Guide tabs and Chute brackets.. Swing chute towards vehicle. Connect chute to the hopper by engaging two latches into corresponding holes in chute brackets.. Chute heights can be adjusted by sliding lower chute assembly up or down inside of upper chute assembly. Adjustment slots are spaced by ". Secure lower chute assembly using all carriage bolts provided. Make sure all four bolts are used for installation. To increase ground clearance cut upper chute as shown and use lower slots in bottom chute. CUT ALONG THIS LINE " Fig.. Center the spreader in the vehicle. Spreader sills must overhang 0" beyond the back end of the vehicle.. If the dump body is not flat, it is suggested that the spreader be placed on two " x " hardwood boards. This will evenly distribute the weight of the loaded spreader on the entire cross channels.. The spreader may be secured to the vehicle by using Tie-Down Kit Buyers part #008 (sold separately).. Periodically check that the spreader mounting hardware is securely tightened.

Control Box & Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation Make sure you have connected the proper wire color. This is wire ground electrical system! No connections to truck s frame or body allowed! WARNING Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electrical wiring, etc. that may be damaged by drilling. To insure good performance of your spreader, check the condition of truck s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter, check alternator and battery voltage. With engine running and head lights and heater fan ON good voltage reading should fall between.0 and. volts. If voltage reading falls out of this range, check and adjust your electric system. NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempting to install electrical components on your vehicle.. Mount the controller in a convenient location in the truck cab. It is recommended not to mount the controller directly in front of heat vents. Allow ample air space around controller. CAUTION Do not mount controller in the way of air bag deployment!. Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall (it maybe necessary to drill holes). Install grommets to protect wire harnesses. Insulate hole to avoid water leaks.. Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during installation.. Connect the -pin connector on the wire harness to the control box -pin connector.. Connect the -pin connector on the power cable to the mating control box mating connector.. Connect wire harness single connectors to control box connectors.. Connect fuse connector to the fuse terminal or ignition switch ( AMP max). 8. Lay out a path for the power cable to the battery, use quick ties to secure power cable. DO NOT CONNECT TO BATTERY AT THIS TIME! 9. Lay out path for wire harness to the rear of the vehicle. It is recommended to stay clear of the exhaust system. Excess heat can damage the wire harnesses. Use quick ties to secure harness to underbody. 0. Connect the wire harness to the motors. Make sure wire colors on wire harness match colors on the motors.. Thoroughly clean battery terminals. Make sure battery terminals have no tarnish or corrosion. DO NOT CONNECT WIRE HARNESS TO DAMAGED OR CORRODED TERMINALS! IT MAY RESULT IN OVERHEATING, LOST POWER AND POTENTIAL CONTROLLER DAMAGE!. Connect the power cable directly to the battery.. Insure all functions of the controller are working properly.. Observe chain moving in proper direction. If direction is wrong reverse wires between Motor and Wire Harness.. Optional spot light ( AMP max) can be installed on spreader. Remove cap from single white wire. Connect IMPORTANT Make sure all wires securely attached to vehicle or spreader. Use wire ties and/or wire clamps to attach wires. All excess wires must be rolled into bungles and attached to vehicle or spreader. 009 CONNECT TO FUSE OR WIRE IN FUSE PANEL, CONTROLLED BY IGNITION SWITCH CB0PB BATTERY POSITIVE 09 0000 BATTERY NEGATIVE 09 09

SPREADER OPERATION The spread pattern and the amount of material dispensed will depend on the following factors: Conveyor speed. Spinner RPM. Feed gate door position. Baffle settings. Internal Baffle Adjustment Below are illustrations that show the baffles effect on the spread pattern as viewed from the top of the spinner disk. SPREADER MAINTENANCE Grease the following components regularly: Idler shaft bearings () IMPORTANT Check the Feed Chain tension periodically. Proper chain tension is illustrated below. Be sure the chain is tensioned equally on both sides. This adjustment is made on each side of the spreader at the idler bearing. Feed Chain Rear of Sill Extension Both internal baffles out Left baffle in, Right baffle out Right baffle in, Left baffle out External Baffle Adjustment All baffles adjusted down for a confined spread pattern Right baffle deflects material down; heavy on right side Left baffle deflects material down; heavy on left side CAUTION Always follow the following precautions so as not to cause damage to the spreader. If the conveyor chain does not move because of dense material or a material jam, remove all material from the hopper and free the chain. If the material in the hopper freezes, move the spreader into a warm area to thaw. To prevent the feed chain from freezing, do not store material in the spreader. The gearbox is designed to only accept torque from the electric motor. Therefore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE THE CONVEYOR BY USING A PIPE OR SIMILAR TOOL TO MOVE OR DISLODGE THE CHAIN. This action will void all warranties. " - " " - " Drive shaft bearing () Feed Gate Jack Lubricate the conveyor chain at least once a week. Use a mixture of % fuel oil and % SAE 0 oil in a pressurized hand spray gun. Tighten all screw fasteners to recommended torques after the first week of operation and annually thereafter. If loose fasteners are found at any time, tighten to the recommended torques. Replace any lost or damaged fasteners or other parts immediately upon finding such damage or loss. Check body mounting bolts every week. CAUTION Do not over-tension the conveyor chain. This can cause damage to the chain, bearings, and gear motor. Empty the spreader of all ice control material when not in use to prevent a frozen feed chain & damage due to corrosion. Wash out the spreader when it is not in use. At the end of the season wash out the spreader to remove all ice control materials. Thoroughly dry all metal surfaces. Re-paint and oil all previously painted surfaces and chains to protect from rust. Properly store the spreader for the next season.
