Tailgate Assembly Instructions
1. After receiving your tailgate spreader, confirm that no damage
occurred during shipping and that all components and hardware
have been delivered. See packing list for complete breakdown
of hardware.
2. Remove the tailgate from your dump body and store it in a
safe location.
3. Using the hook on the top of the spreader and a proper
chain, lift the spreader into position for installation. Position the
spreader at the rear of the dump body, centered, and with the
spreader slightly above the surface of the bed.
NOTE: The spreader should be lifted using the hook on the
top of the spreader.
4. Install the main spreader assembly on Dump Body and
ensure all four latch pins are fully engaged. When assembling
to a poly DumperDogg dump body, remove the adapter plates
from the upper latch receptacles before assembling.
5. Install the spinner assembly by inserting the receiver bracket
into the 2-inch receiver tube on the vehicle. Select height
adjustment holes to position the spinner assembly so that the
dump body will clear the top of the material guide when it is fully
raised. Secure the bracket in position with hitch pins.

kit is designed to be placed between the spreader and the
truck to keep salt out of the truck bed. Installation of the skirt is
optional and at user's discretion.
Electrical Installation Instructions
Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electrical wiring,
etc. that may be damaged by drilling. To ensure proper performance of
your spreader, check the condition of truck's electrical system. Using
digital voltmeter, check alternator and battery voltage. With engine
running and head lights and heater fan ON, good voltage reading
should fall between 13.0 and 15.3 volts. If voltage reading falls out of
this range, check and adjust your electric system.
