WARNING
Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through
electrical wiring, etc that may be damaged by drilling.
To insure good 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.

Electrical Installation (fig. 2)
1. Lay out path for the Red Wire (0203800) in the
truck’s engine compartment. This wire will be
connected to positive terminal on truck’s battery.
Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one to
pass wire into cab.
Do not route close to exhaust
system!
2. Lay out a wiring path for the Wire Assembly
222" long (0203600) toward rear bumper. Drill all
necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the
flat blade connector into the trucks cab. Attach
