er’s rear legs make contact with truck’s bed.
E. Center the spreader from side to side on the vehicle.
Securely strap the spreader to the truck using four ratchet

to anchor points located in front of the spreader to create
longitudinal stability for the spreader. Rear straps must be
tightened evenly to secure the spreader in the middle of the
truck. Additional supports and restrictors can be used.

for trucks equipped with a snow plow). The picture below
shows alternative way to install spreader in your vehicle

All previously noted installation requirements must be fol-
lowed. If you do not wish to follow this procedure, refer to
standard installation.
Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the factory
installed anchor points are designed for tie-down of such
load. Periodically check that the spreader mounting hard-
ware is securely tightened
