AT VS15A ATV Spreader
A multipurpose spreader designed to distribute feed,
seed, bagged rock salt, and fertilizer while mounted on
an ATV. The quick mount/detach brackets allow for easy
installation and removal for “Use-on-Demand” availability.
Mounting Instructions
1. Remove the two hitch pins allowing the Mounting
Bracket to separate from the spreader body.
2. Attach the Mounting Bracket to the rear of the ATV rack
by using the U-bolts, washers and nuts (supplied). Be sure
that the hole for the Gate Control Arm (in the bracket) is at
the top when attaching it to the ATV. The multiple mount
-
ing holes are used for attaching the bracket to various
models of ATV racks.
3. Position the Hopper Body into place on the Mounting
Bracket. Position the main support spline on the Hopper
into the Mounting Bracket, aligning the two sets of pin-
holes. Place the two mounting pins into each set of holes.
The Spreader Body should now be held into place on the
Mounting Bracket. Install the hairpin cotters to secure the
spreader in place.
4. Slide the long end of the Gate Control Arm through
the hole in the top end of the Mounting Bracket. Slide
the short end of the Gate Control Arm through the Gate
Control and place the finger nut on the end.
5. Connect wire harness to motor and then plug the
accessory adapter into the ATV’s accessory plug.
6. A “push/pull” action on the Gate Control Arm will
allow you to control the opening size in the bottom of the
Hopper. Enlarging the opening size will allow for more
material to be spread. Adjust the opening to accommodate
the size and quantity of material you wish to spread.
Operating Instructions
1. Set the Flow Control Collar at the base of the Hopper
to the desired maximum position. Close the Shut-Off Gate
completely. Load material into the Hopper; be sure to
secure the Hopper Cover in place. Turn the “on/off” switch
to the “on” position. While moving, open the Shut-Off Gate
to begin spreading material.
2. Adjust the Shut-Off Gate by using the Flow Control
Arm to increase or decrease the size of the opening. This
will allow you increase or decrease the amount of material
being spread.
Installation Instructions
PLEASE NOTE
1. Take precautions to operate the UTV/ATV in a safe manner. Follow
precautions and guidelines as outlined in the Owner’s Manual.
2. In the event the Spreader Motor is not operating, check fuse in
accessory adaptor and replace if blown.
3. Clean the Hopper and brackets after use. Some material can cause
corrosion to metal parts, thus reducing the life of the Spreader Assembly.
