Instructions / Assembly

LOCK CHUTE
USING BOTH LATCHES
C. Apply dielectric grease or similar compound to connectors
before assembly. Connect the round connector on the wire har-
ness to the round connector on the controller.
D. Lay out path for the power cable in the truck’s engine compart-
ment. 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 con-
nector. 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
(fig. 6).
2. Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A. Attach the Chute Assembly to the spreader, by hooking
the chute to the spreader by openings in the chute handle.
B. Rotate the Chute into operating position and lock using
two spring latches.
WARNING
Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electri-
cal wiring, etc that may be damaged by drilling.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when working around an operating
vehicle engine.
ATTENTION
Do not connect black (negative) wire to any part of vehicles
frame. Connect this terminal to battery’s negative terminal.

3. Install Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness (See Fig. 6).
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 ensure good performance of your spreader, check the condi-
tion of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter, check
alternator and battery voltage. The voltage reading should fall
between 13.6 and 15.3 volts with engine running, head lights
and heater fan turned on. If voltage reading falls out of this
range, check and adjust your electric system.
CAUTION
Do not mount controller in way of air bag deployment
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.
