2. Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A. Attach the Chute Assembly to the spreader.
First, hook the Chute to the spreader by openings in the
Chute’s handle.
B. Then rotate the Chute into operating position and lock
using two spring latches.
3. Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation (see
figure 6)
To insure good performance of your spreader, check the con-
dition 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 13.6 and 15.3 volts. If
voltage reading falls out of this range, check and adjust your
electric system.
A. Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness.
Connect the Wire Harness smaller terminal to the Chute’s
harness, large terminal to the Hopper’s harness. Drill all nec-
essary holes or use existing ones to pass the round connec-
tor into the trucks cab. Secure harness to truck’s frame.
B. Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. It is recommended not to mount Controller directly in
front of the heat vents.
Protect controller from water, dirt and dust.
C. Apply dielectric grease or equal protective compound
to connectors before assembly. Connect the Wire Harness
round connector to the Controller round connector.
D. Lay out path for the Power Cable in the truck’s engine
compartment. Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one
to pass wire harness. It is recommended to pass the Power
Cable from inside of the cab to the battery due to the large
high amperage connector. Do not route close to exhaust
system!
E. Connect Power Cable Connector to Controller.
F. Connect the Power Cable ring terminals to the truck’s bat-
tery, white-positive, and black-negative.
G. Make sure that the Controller is OFF. Connect blue wire’s
small female terminal to Controller’s Ignition wire (single red
wire). Connect the blue wire from the Controller to an acces-
sory wire, terminal or fuse that is controlled by the vehicle’s
ignition switch. It can be found in fuse panel located inside
truck’s cab.
It is recommended not to connect blue wire to
high amperage fuse or terminal.
