7. Installing Controller and Wiring Diagram
Refer to Fig 7.
•
NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempting to
install electrical components on your vehicle.
• Mount the controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. It is recommended not to mount the controller directly
in front of heat vents.
• Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall
(it maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate hole to avoid
water leaks.
• Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during installation.
• Connect the 4-pin connecter on the wire harness to the
control box.
• Connect the 2-pin connector on the power cable to the con-
trol box.
• Connect fuse connector to the fuse terminal or ignition
switch.
• Lay out a path for the power cable to the battery, use
quick ties to secure power cable.
DO NOT CONNECT TO
BATTERY AT THIS TIME!
• Lay out path for wire harness to the rear of the vehicle. It
is recommended to stay clear of the exhaust system. Excess
heat can damage the wire harnesses. Use quick ties to
secure harness to underbody.
• Connect the wire harness to the motor and vibrator located
inside the TGS06 spreader.
• Connect the power and ground cables directly to the
battery.
• Insure all functions of the controller are working properly.
• Note: direction of spinner may be changed by interchang-
ing the motor leads.
8. Operating Instructions
• Ensure flow gate is in closed position.
• Caution: when filling hopper, make certain there are no
large objects contained in the material which could cause
the spinner to bind and stop operation of the spreader motor.
• Fill hopper with #1 rock salt or calcium chloride from bags.
DO NOT USE BULK MATERIAL. All material must have the
same crystal size as #1 rock salt.
• Slide flow gate to desired opening for material flow.
• NOTE: Different materials will have different flow rates.
9. Maintenance Instructions
• Occasionally inspect spreader for loose bolts and nuts.
• Inspect for broken wires, frayed or cracked insulation.
•
Always remove salt from spreader after each use, if salt
is not removed, it will harden and no longer flow and stop
normal operation.
• Inspect and clean flow gate and matting surfaces to
remove any unwanted rock salt.
