Installation Instructions
Fig. 2
—continued inside
Section 1 – Installing the Head Assembly
1. Determine the Mounting Location for the Head Assy.
A. Mount the Head Assembly on top of the cab shield and as
far forward as possible to minimize interference when side
loading dump.
B. When choosing the location, it will be helpful to visualize
a line from the approximate pivot location to the Axle to see
if the arms are clear.
C. If vertical exhaust stacks are in the way of the ideal loca-
tion you can choose to shorten or realign the stacks or mount
the Head Assembly behind them.
2. Install the DS (left) & PS (right) Mounting Brackets
A. Use the included (4) ½"-20 x 1" HHCS (Hex Head Cap
Screws) and Locknuts.
3. Mount the Gear Motor
A. Using (5) 5/16"-18 x 5/8" Button Head Screws (in motor
box) to attach the Gear Motor to the DS Mounting Bracket
4. Fit the Aluminum Roller Axle
A. Axle will need to be long enough to mount on the Gear
Motor and reach up to 1" from the PS Mounting Plate
B. Cut the Axle to this length
5. Mount the Gear Motor
A. Drill a clearance hole (5/16" Bolt) in the Roller Axle 1" from
the end.
B. Attach the Gear Motor to the Axle using a 5/16"-18 x 2-3/4"
HHCS (Hex Head Cap Screws) and Nylon Locking Nut.
6. Mount Bearing Side the Stub Shaft
A. Drill a clearance hole (5/16" Bolt) from the end of the Roller Axle.
B. Mount the Stub Shaft to the Axle using a 5/16"-18 x 2-3/4"
HHCS (Hex Head Cap Screws) and Nylon Locking Nut.
NOTE: The long end of the Stub Shaft should be outside the
end of the Roller Axle
7. Mount the Bearing
A. Insert the Stub Shaft to the Bearing and attach to the PS
Mounting Bracket using (2) 3/8" x 1-1/2" HHCS (Hex Head
Cap Screws) and Nylon Insert Locking nuts
8. Install the Wind Deflector
A. Cut to fit in between the DS and PS Mounting Brackets
B. Attach it using the (8) ¼"-20 x 1-1/2" Thread Cutting Bolts
Section 2 – Wiring the System
1. Refer to Fig. 2 for the Wiring Diagram
2. Mount the Solenoid
A.
Find a location to mount the Solenoid. It should be in a
location that will minimize the amount of necessary wire
and must be protected from the elements(rain water and
road spray)
B. Use (2) 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" HHCS and Flange nuts to mount
the Solenoid.
NOTE: Make sure that the bolt heads are on the backside of
the Solenoid as the Cover will be added later.
3. Wiring the Motor to Solenoid
A.
Using the 8Ga Wire, (2)5/16"-24 Kepnuts, (2)1/4"-8Ga Ring
Terminals and (2)3/8"-8Ga Ring Terminals, Connect the Gear
Motor to the Solenoid
4. Wiring the Solenoid and Circuit Breaker
A.
Using the 8Ga Wire, (1)5/16"-24 Kepnut, and (2)3/8"-8Ga
Ring Terminals, loosely connect the Negative Post of the
5544000, 5544300,
5545000, and 5545300
