ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
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.
NOTE: Always disconnect battery before
attempting to install electrical components on
your vehicle.
• 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.
• Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through
firewall (it maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate
hole to avoid water leaks.
• Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during
installation.
• Connect the 4-pin connecter on the wire harness
to the control box.
• Connect the 2-pin connector on the power cable
to the control box.
• Connect fuse connector to the fuse terminal or
ignition switch.
• Lay out a path for the power cable to the bat-
tery, use quick ties to secure power cable. DO NOT
CONNECT TO BATTERY AT THIS TIME!
• 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.
• Connect the wire harness to the motor.
• Connect the power and ground cables directly to
the battery.
• Insure all functions of the controller are working
properly.
Observe spinner direction of rotation. The correct
direction is counter clock wise when looking
inside hopper from the top. If direction is clock
wise reverse wires between Motor and Wire
Harness.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure all wires are securely attached to
vehicle or spreader’s frame. Use wire ties and/or
wire clamps to attach wires. All excess wires
must be rolled into bundles and attached to
vehicle or spreader.
SPREADER MAINTENANCE
1. This spreader is designed to use lose free
floating materials such as #1 dry Rock Salt. Using
different grades and/or wet material will affect
spreader performance. Wet material can “bridge”
and stop floating onto spinner disk.
2. Make sure lid is installed and latches are
secured when spreader is in use.
3. Do not leave material in hopper between uses.
4. Do not drive with material in hopper.
5. Always clean/ wash hopper and lubricate
bearing at the end of the day.
6. Spray lubricant around motor shaft to prevent
water from penetrating into the motor.
7. Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connec-
tors between uses and for long term storage.
CAUTION!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR REMOVE
SPREADER WITH MATERIAL IN IT.
