For most vehicles, assemble the hitch extension
bracket to the holes in the hitch tube shown at the
top of figure 14. Use two 1/4" x 1-3/4" hex bolts and
1/4" hex lock nuts tightened only finger tight. Attach
the spreader hitch to your vehicle hitch. Check for
interference with the spreader directly behind and out
to both sides of the vehicle. Lift the spreader at each
position to make sure there is no interference with
the spreader's flow control. If there is interference
with the rear of the vehicle, assemble the hitch
extension bracket as shown at the bottom of figure
14. Tighten the bolts and nuts when finished.
