General Safety Precautions

READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL CAREFULLY. Know your tailgate spreader. Learn its

applications and limitations. Improper installation and operation could cause personal injury

and/or equipment and property damage.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS. Be sure bystanders, especially children and

pets are kept a safe distance from the tailgate spreader operating area.

DO NOT ABUSE THE SPREADER. Follow the guidelines set forth in this manual. Do not

force the tailgate spreader to do a job it was not designed for.

MAINTAIN THE SPREADER. Keep the spreader clean when the unit is not in use to avoid

corrosion and/or seizing of parts. Before servicing/working on the spreader, disconnect

power cord, secure all loose-fitting clothing, unrestrained long hair and wait for auger and

spinner to stop. Do not operate a spreader in need of maintenance.

INSPECT THE SPREADER BEFORE EACH USE. Check the alignment of all moving

parts, and check for any loose bolts that may affect the operation of the spreader system.

Before operating spreader, reassemble any parts or hardware removed for cleaning or

adjusting.

NEVER SIT IN, CLIMB OR RIDE ON THE SPREADER. Serious injury could occur.

ONLY USE SNOWBEAR® CERTIFIED PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s

manual for the recommended accessories and/or replacement parts. The use of improper

accessories and/or replacement parts may cause hazards and void applicable warranties.

ALWAYS VERIFY THAT THE HITCH PIN IS PROPERLY INSTALLED BEFORE MOVING.

If the spreader is incorrectly attached to the vehicle's receiver, the spreader could fall off

from the vehicle potentially harming bystanders and damaging your SnowBear® product, or

vehicle.

NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR SPREADER. Overloading could result in an

accident or damage. Do not exceed GVWR or GAWR ratings as found on the driver-side

door side or corner post of the vehicle. See Loading Section to determine maximum

volumes of spreading material.

DO NOT LEAVE UNUSED MATERIAL IN SPREADER HOPPER. Material can freeze

and/or solidify, causing unit to not work properly. Empty and clean after each use whenever

possible.

Revision 2

Personal Safety

Remove ignition key and put the vehicle in park or in gear to prevent others from starting

the vehicle during installation or service.

Wear only snug-fitting clothing while working on your vehicle or spreader. Do not wear

dangling jewelry or neckties and secure long hair.

Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from dust, dirt & debris from the spreader,

especially when in operation and close to spreader. Material is spread at significant velocity.

Fire and Explosion

GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, VAPOURS ARE EXPLOSIVE. Never smoke while

working on vehicle. Keep all open flames and sources of ignition away from gasoline tank,

lines and containers. Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately. Do not use gasoline to

clean parts. Store gasoline only in approved containers away from sources of heat or flame.

Ventilation

VEHICLE EXHAUST CONTAINS LETHAL FUMES. Breathing these fumes, even in low

concentrations, can cause illness or death. Never operate a vehicle or leave engine running

while performing spreader maintenance in an enclosed area without venting the exhaust to

the outside.

Cell Phones

A driver's first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. The most important thing

you can do to prevent a crash is to avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait

until it is safe to operate Mobile Communication Devices such as cell phones, text

messaging devices, pagers or two-way radios (ie. when vehicle is parked).

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.
