Tailgate Spreader (TGS-325)
Revision 2
Spreader Installation
OVERVIEW:
The SnowBear
®
Tailgate Spreader uses a standard 2" trailer receiver on your vehicle, and standard 4-
pin trailer connector for the electrical harness. Each of these must be already installed on your vehicle
to use the spreader.
INSTALLATION:
The SnowBear
®
Tailgate Spreader comes factory pre-assembled, except for the 2" Receiver Assembly and
associated mounting hardware (all included).
To install the 2" Receiver Assembly to the Spreader Assembly, select the optimal height for your application.
The Spreader has several vertical mounting height positions that will move the Spreader assembly up or down
2.5" per position. This optimal height will vary with the height of the vehicle's hitch, and the desired
maximum/minimum material spread desired for the application. The higher the Spreader assembly, the
greater the material spread diameter.
Testing was performed at approximately 1 1/2' (18") from the ground to spinner plate of the Spreader. This
yielded an approximate 25-30' spread diameter.
