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 13.0 and 15.3 volts. If voltage reading
falls out of this range, check and adjust your electric system.
G. Secure spreader using four ratchet straps as shown in Fig.
5. Tighten straps evenly to secure spreader in the middle of
the truck box.

Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the factory
installed anchor points are designed for tie-down such
load. Inspect straps and hardware after each time spreader
is loaded. Tighten straps and hardware if necessary.

the Chute to the spreader by openings in the Chute’s handle.
Then rotate the Chute into operating position and lock using
