Slide-In Attachment
Mounting Procedure
In order to prevent injury or damage to the
product, the spreader must be completely empty
when attaching or detaching it from the vehicle.
1. The In-Cab Controller must be turned
OFF before proceeding. Back the truck
into position.
2. Refer to Figure 4. Insert the spreader’s
Standard Hitch into the 2” Receiver Hitch
on the vehicle and line up the second
hole.
3. Pin Spreader using provided Hitch Pin
and Cotter Hairpin.
4. Assemble Driver Side Stabilizer Arm (3)
using four 3/8”-16 X 1” Hex Head Bolts
(8) and four 3/8”-16 Nylon Lock Nuts
(10). Repeat for Passenger Side
Stabilizer Arm (4).
5. Attach Ratchet Strap (5) to outside of the
upper hole of spreader frame using the
“D” ring end of Ratchet Strap (5). Secure
using one ½”-13 X 1-½” Hex Head Bolt
(9), one ½”-13 Nylon Lock Nut (11), and
one ½” Fender Washer (12). Repeat on
opposite side of spreader.
Note: The previous two steps are only
required for new installations. Stabilizer
Arms and Ratchet Straps will remain bolted
to the spreader.
6. Tighten both Driver Side and Passenger
Side Stabilizer Arms by rotating pad until
tight. Tighten the Jam Nut to secure.
7. Slide the hook end of Ratchet Strap (5)
between the bumper and tailgate of the
truck. Secure to a solid point on the truck
frame rail (this may require drilling a hole
for attachment on the truck frame).
Repeat for second Ratchet Strap (5).
8. Plug Spreader Side Harness into Vehicle
Side Harness.
