Tailgate Spreader (TGS-325)
Revision 2
The spreader hopper is designed to hold approximately 250lbs [115kg] of bagged rock salt or ice melt material
(~4 to 5 - 55lb [25kg] bags)
Once desired amount of material is poured in, and the spinner speed is set, the spreader is ready to run.
Before driving the vehicle, make sure vehicle lights are turned on, and make sure the spreader system is
working by pushing the 'ON' button on the remote key fob. If spinning is going, and material is flowing, system
is ready to spread. Push the 'OFF' button to stop the spreader. Begin driving the vehicle, and when you're in
the desired area to spread the material, push the 'ON' button and continue until the required area is covered,
then push 'OFF' to stop spreading.
SPREAD WIDTH
If the material spread is too wide, the dispersion can be narrowed by the adjustable deflector on the spreader
assembly. Loosen the 2 x 5/16" nuts and move the deflector in or out to achieve desired dispersion width.
