TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
• 2 x 10mm wrench
• Slotted screwdriver
Frame Assembly - Fig. 1
A. Assemble the frame with fasteners as shown in
Figure 1. Do NOT tighten the fasteners yet.
B. The Support Brackets (16) will be fastened to the
Hopper Support Assembly (3) when the Hopper (4) is
mounted.
C. Tighten all fasteners.
Axle/Gearbox & Hopper Assembly - Fig. 2 & 3
A. Insert the Axle (7) into the frame and through the
Gearbox (5) as shown. IMPORTANT - The end of the
axle with a large hole (for a through bolt) must be on
the left side (standing in front of the spreader – as
shown in Figure 1). The arrow on the Gearbox should
be pointing towards the rear of the spreader.
B. Fasten the Gearbox to the Axle using an M6x40 HH
Cap Screw.
C. Mount the Axle Bushings (19) and Wheels (6A/B)
on both ends of the axle. Mount two Shim Washers
(20) between each wheel and outer bushing. Mount
the additional Shim Washer between the Coast Wheel
(6B) and the Cotter Pin (17). Only the Drive Wheel (6A)
is fixed to the Axle with an M6x45HH Cap Screw. The
Coast Wheel rotates freely on the axle and is retained
by a Shim Washer and Cotter Pin.
D. Lower the Hopper Assembly (4) over the agitator
shaft. The Hopper Supports Bracket (16) are fastened to
the REAR hopper fasteners (M6x50 Machine Screws) as
shown in Figure 2. The Deflector Assembly (12) is fas-
tened to the FRONT hopper fasteners (M6x50 Machine
Screws) as shown in Figure 3. The deflector flap posi-
tions may be adjusted and locked using the wing nuts.
E. If the agitator shaft on the Gearbox does not align
with the hopper, check the Axle and Gearbox installa-
tion direction.
F. Verify that the spinner disk rotates counter-clockwise
when the spreader is pushed forward. If it does not, the
Axle/Gearbox assembly has been installed backwards.
Handle/Control Linkage Assembly - Fig. 4 & 5
A. Carefully insert the Lower Linkage (11) into the
WB100 Shown
IMPORTANT
The Shim Washers and extra Axle Bushings are
critical for proper operation. There should be no
more than 1/16” of endplay when the axle assem-
bly is complete. Every assembly should have 4 axle
bushings and 5 shim washers.
