6. A skirt kit (3016927) is included with the spreader. The
skirt kit is designed to be placed between the spreader and
the truck to keep salt out of the truck bed. Installation of the
skirt is optional and at user's discretion.
Electrical Installation
1. Do not connect to power source until all electric
components are installed.
2. Locate control box, all wire harnesses, and accessories
shown in Fig. 2.
3. Install battery cable harness (3016943) through fire wall.
Hole may need to be drilled. Place cables near desired
location by the battery. Do not connect leads to battery at
this time. Run cables through drilled hole being careful not
to damage insulation of cable.
4. Once cables are through hole, seal hole with a grommet
and or silicone to prevent water from entering interior of
vehicle.
5. Locate an accessible position for the controller (3016934).
Fasten control loosely so harnesses can be connected with
ease.
6. A tail light is included with this spreader in the event that
the spreader motor blocks your vehicle's tail light. Be sure to
wire the tail light correctly. On most trucks the light can be
attached to the existing harness. If there is no harness, the
wires will need to be spliced into your rear tail light.
7. Connect battery cables to the control unit. The battery cable
has a red connector and can only be plugged in one way.
8. Route the motor wire harness (3016944) through vehicle to
spreader. Use wire ties to fasten harnesses to frame and
or under carriage. Ensure harnesses do not interfere with
any moving parts and are not located near a heat source
such as an exhaust. Be careful not to damage or kink
the harnesses in any way. The single end of the harness
attaches to the controller.
9. Connect the ignition cable (0203700) to the controller and
to a power source in the fuse box controlled by the ignition
key.
10. Ensure no obstructions are present in the spreader and
make sure the unit is off before connecting cables to
battery.
11. The battery cables may now be attached. Ensure leads are
connected to a clean and secure battery post.
12. The unit should now be ready for operation. Check the
spreader is receiving power and that all controls are working.

Safety Precautions
• Ensure unit is mounted properly and latch pins are fully
engaged to dump bed before use.
• Never stick hands or limbs into unit while operating.
Serious injury or death can occur.
• Always disconnect power before working on or adjusting
unit.
• Never modify spreader or warranty will be void.
• Never use spreader for anything other than salt, sand, or
calcium products.
• Keep fingers and limbs away from spinner and augers
during operation.
• Ensure there is proper clearance between the spinner
assembly and bumper of vehicle during lifting of the dump
bed. On some vehicles the bed can not be lifted the full 45
degrees.
• Always inspect hardware before every use to ensure bolts
and nuts have not loosened.
• Never operate vehicle with dump bed in full upright position.
Tailgate Assembly Instructions
1. After receiving your tailgate spreader ensure the necessary
components and hardware have been shipped and that
the unit is not damaged. See packing list for complete
breakdown of hardware.
2. The main components of the tailgate spreader are already
assembled from the factory. The spinner assembly can be
assembled either with the main spreader before installation
to the dump body or after. It may be easier to install the
spinner after the unit has been installed to reduce weight
and keep the spinner assembly from getting in the way.
3. Assemble spinner assembly by using the pivot bar
(3015755) and lynch pins (66003) provided with hardware.
Ensure the lynch pins are properly fastened. Tighten pivot
bar with screw shown in Fig. 1.
4. Install the main spreader assembly on Dump Body and
ensure all four latch pins are fully engaged. It may be
easier to use a tow motor to install the unit. There is a hook
provided on top of the spreader for use with a proper chain.
5. Install spill guard (see item number 2 in Fig. 3) on top of
spreader using the provided 3/8-16x1 bolts. Ensure the
guard is safely fastened by using provided 3/8-16 locknuts.
WARNING
Do not install controller in the deployment path of an air bag. Refer
to vehicle manufacturer's manual for air bag deployment area(s).
