NOTE: The top of the hopper should be at least 30" above the ground. The mounting holes shown in fi gures 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 mounting 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 fi gure 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 fi gure 3. Tighten. Repeat for the L.H.mounting bracket.
