NOTE: These instructions for installing Spray Mate ® fenders are
intended to be a general guide to help the installer. Because
of the large number of possible mounting configurations, the
installer is responsible for the installation design and for providing
adequate clearance around the tire carrier (i.e. tire clearance,
trailer clearance, etc.)

2. Assemble the Spray Mate ® mounting
clamps by inserting the threaded T-nuts
into the clamps from the inside and
pushing them into place.
3. Insert the mounting tubes through the mount supports.
Position the tube mounts approximately 12-18” from the
ends of the Spray Mate ® , keeping them as square to the
fender and truck frame as possible. Move the mount up
and down on the fender. Select a space to drill a proper
size mounting bolt hole/holes or see if an existing hole
could be used.
NOTE: Be sure to follow truck or trailer manufactures
recommended procedures for drilling any required holes in
the frame.
This product may not fit
all truck models or types of
suspensions. Check truck or trailer
manufacturer for suspension travel
specifications. Modifications to the
brackets and/or the fenders may be
required. Any modifications are at the
discretion, responsibility and risk of the
installer.
1. Position fender over tires. Use a 2x4 block or other
suitable spacer to achieve desired clearance around tires.

Note: If you have an air suspension make sure there is tire
clearance when the suspension is deflated.

appropriate torque for the size and grade of mounting bolts:
