wire colors on wire harness match colors on the motor.
K. Thoroughly clean battery terminals. Make sure battery terminals
have no tarnish or corrosion. DO NOT CONNECT WIRE HARNESS
TO DAMAGED OR CORRODED TERMINALS! IT MAY RESULT IN
OVERHEATING, LOST POWER AND POTENTIAL CONTROLLER
DAMAGE! Install the circuit breaker within 12" from the battery.
Connect red wire from cable 3035935 and battery cable 3001379
to circuit breaker according to the breaker markings. Connect
the power cable and battery cable directly to the battery. Make
sure connection to battery terminals is good and tight. Loose
connection to battery terminals will result in sparking, overheating
and possible battery damage!
L. Insure all functions of the controller are working properly.
M. Observe auger/ chain moving in proper direction. If direction is
wrong reverse wires between Motor and Wire Harness.
N. Optional spot light (5 AMP max) can be installed on spreader.
Use utility light kit part number 3018009. Remove cap from single
white wire. Connect light to this wire and the trucks frames known
ground (negative).
2. Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation
Note: Make sure you have connected the proper wire color. This
is a wire ground electrical system! No Connections to truck’s
frame or body allowed!
Note: Always disconnect battery before attempting to install
electrical components on your vehicle
A. 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. Allow ample air space around controller
CAUTION
Inspect straps and hardware after each time spreader is loaded.
Tighten straps and hardware if necessary.
CAUTION
Do not mount controller in the way of air bag deployment!
WARNING
Important! Do not use ratchet straps or tailgate latch exclusively!
Always secure spreader to truck frame!
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.
IMPORTANT
Make sure all wires securely attached to vehicle or spreader. Use
wire ties and/or wire clamps to attach wires. All excess wires
must be rolled into bundles and attached to vehicle or spreader
B. Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall (it
maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate hole to avoid water leaks.
C. Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during installation.
D. Connect the 4-pin connector on the wire harness to the control
box 4-pin connector.
