2. Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation
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.
A. Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness.
Connect the Wire Harness smaller connector to the Chute’s
harness, large connector to the Hopper’s harness. Drill
all necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the round
connector into the trucks cab. Attach 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.
C. 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 terminal to Controller.
F. Connect the Power Cable ring terminals to the truck’s
battery, 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. Connect the
blue wire to an accessory wire/terminal that is controlled by
the vehicle’s ignition switch.
