2. An Adjustable Solid Stop is provided
to allow the operator to adjust the
Gauge Assembly (22) to the desired
opening, allowing the correct amount
of material to fall onto the Turning
Plate (16) for disbursement. The
“Solid Stop” will allow the operator to
repeat the opening/closing without
having to look at the control while op-
erating the vehicle. It is set by using
the Thumb Wing Nut (24) located on
the Gauge Assembly (22). Establish
the correct opening, then lock down
the Thumb Wing Nut (24).
How to Attach to your AtV
1. Place the ATV Spreader (assembled),
centered on the front, or rear luggage
rack of your ATV. Use the J-Bolts
(34), Press Plate (33) and Hex Nuts
(32) to connect Frame Rail (21) to the
luggage rack cross bar closest to the
seat, or handlebars. Use the J-Bolts
(34), Press Plate (33) and Hex Nuts
(32) to attach the Spreader to the
luggage rack, securing it to the outer
most rail on the luggage rack.
2. WARning: Prior to each use, inspect
the mounting hardware and the ATV
Spreader to ensure the tightness of
the mount. If any hardware is loose,
tighten securely before using the unit.
3. Measure off a distance of 50 feet on
the surface you will be working. See
number 9 below.
4. Weight out enough of the material to
fill the Hopper Assembly (8) at least
half full. Record the weight for further
use.

ment or binding of moving parts,
cracked or broken parts, damaged
electrical wiring, and any other condi-
tion that may affect its safe operation.
