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.
1. Lay out path for the Red Wire (0203800) in the
truck’s engine compartment. This wire will be con-
nected to positive terminal on truck’s battery. Drill
hole in the firewall or use an existing one to pass
wire into cab.
Do not route close to exhaust system!
2. Lay out a wiring path for the Wire Assembly
222" long (0203600) toward rear bumper. Drill all
necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the
flat blade connector into the trucks cab. Attach
harness to truck’s frame.
Do not route close to exhaust system!
3. Install Socket Assembly (0203200) near rear
bumper. Remove paint/ primer and attach black
wire of this assembly to truck frame. Doing this
will insure good connection.
4. Connect Wire Assembly (0203600) to Socket
Assembly (0203200).
5. Mount the Controller (3006587) in a convenient
location in the truck cab. Connect Black ground
wire to truck’s frame or battery negative post
(additional wire is required). Connection to battery
negative post is recommended for newer trucks
(2000 and up). It is recommended not to mount
Controller directly in front of the heat vents.
6. Make sure that the Controller is OFF. Connect
blue wire’s small female terminal to Controller’s
connector on controller’s rear wall. Connect the
blue wire from to an accessory wire/terminal
that is controlled by the vehicle’s ignition switch.
Connect battery wire and 222" wire assembly to
Controller.
7. Connect the Red Wire (0203800) ring terminals
to the battery positive post.
8. Attach Adapter (3009863) to Socket Assembly
(0203200).
9. Connect Red motor wire to Black adapter wire
and Black motor wire to Red adapter wire.
10. Make sure Controller is OFF, start the truck.
11. Turn Controller ON. Adjust speed to desired
setting.
Do not change speed abruptly!
It may stall motor.
12. 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
Adapter.
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 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.
