1. Turn the spreader upside down as shown in figure 1. FIGURE 2 6. Tighten the nuts and bolts fastening the hitch braces to the hopper frame and the hitch tube, then tighten the middle lock nut fastening the hitch tube to the crossover tube. DO NOT COLLAPSE TUBES WHEN TIGHTENING. 7. Assemble a spacer (P), a 3/4" flat washer (K), a wheel (air valve facing out) and another 3/4" flat washer (K) onto the end of the axle that has only the small hole. See figure 3. 8. Install a 1/8" x 1-1/2" cotter pin (M) into the hole in the axle. See figure 3. FIGURE 1 SMALL HOLE(P) SPACER(K) 3/4” FLAT WASHER(M) 1/8" x 1-1/2" COTTER PINAIR VALVE 2. Assemble the two hitch braces to the inside of the hopper frame using a 1/4" x 1-3/4" hex bolt (B) and 1/4" hex nut (F) on each side. DO NOT TIGHTEN YET. See figure 2. 3. Remove the hex lock nut from the middle bolt in the crossover tube and shaft support plate. Do not remove the bolt. See figure 2. 4. Assemble the hitch tube onto the middle bolt and secure it with the same hex lock nut you removed. DO NOT TIGHTEN YET. See figure 2. IMPORTANT: The hitch tube must attach to the side of the crossover tube opposite the shaft support plate. 5. Turn the four hitch braces until they will fit together and then stack them in pairs. Assemble a pair of hitch braces on each side of the hitch tube using a 1/4" x 1-3/4" (B) hex bolt and a 1/4" hex lock nut (F). DO NOT TIGHTEN YET. See figure 2. FIGURE 3 9. Assemble a spacer (P), a 3/4" flat washer (K), a wheel (air valve facing out) and another 3/4" flat washer (K) onto the end of the axle that has both the large and small holes. See figure 4. 10. Install a 1/8" x 1-1/2" cotter pin (M) into the small hole in the end of the axle. See figure 4. 11. Open the bail on the drive pin (V) and install it through the wheel and the large hole in the axle. Close the bail to lock the pin in place. See figure 4. 15. Assemble the flow control mounting bracket and the tube support strap to the flow control mounting tube using two 5/16" x 1-3/4" hex bolts (A), four 5/16" washers (J) and two 5/16" hex lock nuts (G). DO NOT TIGHTEN YET. See figure 6. 16. Remove the preassembled bolt and nut from the front of the hopper. Attach the tube support strap to the hopper and hopper strap using the bolt and nut you removed. TIGHTEN the nut and bolt. See figure 6. (V) DRIVE PINAIR VALVE(P) SPACER(K) 3/4" DIA.

See figure 5. 14. Assemble the vinyl cap (S) onto the flow control mounting tube. See figure 5. FIGURE 6 (A) 5/16" x 1-3/4" HEX BOLT(G) 5/16"HEXLOCK NUT(S) VINYL CAP 17. TIGHTEN the two bolts which fasten the flow control mounting tube to the hitch tube. DO NOT TIGHTEN the two bolts which fasten the flow control mounting bracket to the flow control mounting tube. FIGURE 5 18. Assemble the vinyl grip (T) onto the flow control arm. See figure 7. 19. Insert the flow control arm down through the slot in the flow control bracket. Assemble the small hole of the flow control link (U) to the flow control arm using a 1/4" x 1" hex bolt (D), a nylon washer (I) and a 1/4" hex lock nut (F) as shown in figure 7. Tighten carefully. The flow control link should be snug but should pivot with no more than slight resistance. 21. Hook the double bent end of the flow control rod through the hole in the slide gate bracket located near the bottom of the hopper. See figure 9.
