NOTE: THIS IS A WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM!
NO CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK'S FRAME OR BODY
ALLOWED! ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
ON YOUR VEHICLE.

To insure good performance of your spreader, check the
condition of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter,
check alternator and battery voltage. The voltage reading
should fall between 13.6 & 15.3 volts with engine running,
head lights and heater fan turned on. If voltage reading falls
out of this range, check & 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
necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the round
connector into the trucks cab. Secure harness to truck’s
frame.

B. Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck

cab. Do not mount controller directly in front of the heat
vents. Allow ample air space around controller. Protect
controller from water, dirt and dust.

WARNING

Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electrical

wiring, etc that may be damaged by drilling.

WARNING

Use extreme caution when working around an operating

vehicle engine.

C. Apply dielectric grease or similar compound to connectors

before assembly. Connect the round connector on the wire
harness to the round connector on the controller.

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 the wire harness. Passing the power cable from
inside of the cab to the battery is recommended to protect
the large high amperage connector. Do not route the power
cable close to exhaust system!

E. Connect power cable connector to controller.
F. Connect the power cable ring terminals to the truck

battery, white-positive, and black-negative.

ATTENTION

Do not connect black (negative) wire to any part of vehicles

frame. Connect this terminal to battery’s negative terminal.
