INSTALLATION
Make sure you have connected the proper wire color.
THIS IS WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM! NO
CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK’S FRAME OR BODY ALLOWED!
NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempting to
install electrical components on your vehicle.
A. 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. Allow ample air space around controller.
B. Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall
(it maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate hole to avoid
water leaks.
C. Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during installation.
D. Connect the 4-pin connector on the wire harness to the
control box 4-pin connector.
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.
IMPORTANT! Make sure all wires securely attached to
vehicle or spreader. Use wire ties and/or wire clamps to
attach wires. All excess wires must be rolled into bungles
and attached to vehicle or spreader.
E. Connect the 2-pin connector on the power cable to the
control box mating connector.
F. Connect wire harness single connectors to control box
connectors.
G. Connect fuse connector to the fuse terminal or ignition
switch (5 AMP max).
H. 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!
I. 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.
J. Connect the wire harness to the motors and vibrator. Make
sure wire colors on wire harness match colors on the motor.
Thoroughly clean battery terminals. Make sure battery
terminals have no tarnish or corrosion.
DO NOT CONNECT WIRE HARNESS TO DAMAGED
OR CORRODED TERMINALS! IT MAY RESULT IN
OVERHEATING, LOST POWER AND POTENTIAL
CONTROLLER DAMAGE!
K. Connect the power cable directly to the battery.
L. Insure all functions of the controller are working properly.
M. Observe auger moving in proper direction. If direction is
wrong reverse wires between Motor and Wire Harness.
N. Optional spot light (5 AMP max) can be installed on
spreader. Remove cap from single white wire. Connect light
to this wire and trucks frame.
