SAFETY
AVOID ACCIDENTS
Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home, or on
the highway, are caused by the failure of some individual to follow simple
and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason, most
accidents can be prevented by recognizing the real cause and doing
something about it before the accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of any type of
equipment, there are many conditions that cannot be completely
safeguarded against without interfering with reasonable accessibility and
efficient operation.
A CAREFUL OPERATOR IS THE BEST INSURANCE AGAINST AN
ACCIDENT. THE COMPLETE OBSERVANCE OF ONE SIMPLE
RULE WOULD PREVENT MANY THOUSAND SERIOUS INJURIES
EACH YEAR. THAT RULE IS:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL OR ADJUST A
MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION.
NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL
If spreader is used to transport chemicals, check with your chemical
supplier regarding DOT (Department of Transportation) requirements.

SAFETY DECALS
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep safety decals and signs clean and legible at all times.
2. Replace safety decals and signs that are missing or have become illegible.
3. Replaced parts that displayed a safety sign should also display the current sign.
4. Safety decals or signs are available from your dealer's Parts Department or our Cedar Rapids factory.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Clean Surface
Wash the installation surface with a synthetic, free-rinsing detergent. Avoid washing the surface
with a soap containing creams or lotion. Allow to dry.
2. Position Safety Decal
Decide on the exact position before application. Application marks may be made on the top or side
edge of the substrate with a lead pencil, marking pen, or small pieces of masking tape. NOTE: Do
not use chalk line, china marker, or grease pencil. Safety decals will not adhere to these.
3. Remove the Liner
A small bend at the corner or edge will cause the liner to separate from the decal. Pull the liner
away in a continuous motion at a 180-degree angle. If the liner is scored, bend at score and
remove.
4. Apply Safety Decal
a. Tack decal in place with thumb pressure in upper corners.
b. Using firm initial squeegee pressure, begin at the center of the decal and work outward in all
directions with overlapping strokes. NOTE: Keep squeegee blade even—nicked edges will
leave application bubbles.
c. Pull up tack points before squeegeeing over them to avoid wrinkles.
5. Remove Pre-mask
If safety decal has a pre-mask cover remove it at this time by pulling it away from the decal at a 180
degree angle. NOTE: It is important that the pre-mask covering is removed before the decal is
exposed to sunlight to avoid the pre-mask from permanently adhering to the decal.
6. Remove Air Pockets
Inspect the decal in the flat areas for bubbles. To eliminate the bubbles, puncture the decal at one
end of the bubble with a pin (never a razor blade) and press out entrapped air with thumb moving
toward the puncture.
7. Re-Squeegee All Edges.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SYSTEM LAYOUT
The diagram below shows the typical components and cable attachments of the Mark V control system
and its available options.
Figure 1
CONSOLE AND CABLING
Mount the control box to a secure support inside the vehicle cab in a location that is accessible to the
operator without obstructing or diverting normal driving view. Avoid interference between the console
and the shifting lever or any other vehicle controls. Allow enough room behind the console to permit
easy access to cable connections. The console should be mounted out of direct sunlight and installed as
far away from any two-way radios as possible.
Mount the interface module in a suitable location that is out of the way of the operator. Allow room for
cable service loops. After mounting all other system components, connect control cables to the
interface. Be careful to route all wire harnesses where they will be protected from pinching, rubbing,
sharp edges, and exhaust systems. Use sufficient tie wraps to fasten the harnesses securely.
With all components connected and the console power switch in the off position, attach the power cable
to the battery. Connect the red conductor with fuse holder to battery positive and the black conductor to
ground.
All holes in the truck cab walls, floor and firewall for control wires, hoses
and cables are to be grommeted, plugged and sealed to prevent entrance of
engine fumes, dust, dirt, water and noise.
CAUTION
When drilling holes, make sure that the drill will not puncture the gas tank
or harm any other obstruction!

SPINNER SENSOR
The spinner sensor must be mounted under the right-hand spinner disc in the holes provided. Rotate the
disc so that one of the cap screws is directly above the sensor. Position the sensor 1/8-inch or less
below the cap screw and tighten the sensor hardware. If the distance between the sensor and the spinner
cap screw is more than 1/8 inch, the sensor may net get a good RPM reading.
RADAR
The mounting of the radar unit will vary with the type of vehicle. The mounting kit supplied uses an
"L" shaped bracket and mounting plate. There is also a plate mounting bracket drawing that can be used
to fabricate a bolt-on version. Refer to the installation instructions included with the radar for more
information.
The radar should be mounted facing rearward and at a 35°angle horizontally. (Figure 2)
Figure 2 - Radar Mounting Angle
If at anytime an arc welder is used on the vehicle or anything connected to the
vehicle, be sure to connect the welders ground directly to one of the two items
being welded. Disconnect power cable from the Mark series control box! Failure
to do so can result in damage to components on both the vehicle and spreader in
which case the warranty will be null and void by manufacturer of same.

Ground Speed Sensor
Set to RADAR to use a Radar Gun as the source of ground speed.
Set to GPS to use the New Leader DGPS-5000 as the source of ground speed.
Set to MANUAL to use the manual speed setting as the source of ground speed.
If you choose the GPS setting and the differential signal is lost, ground speed from the DGPS-5000 will
go to zero. However, if a radar gun is detected, the Mark V will automatically switch to the radar
before ground speed goes to zero.
The Manual setting can be used when you cannot get ground speed from a radar gun or the DGPS-5000.
During application, you must hold your travel speed the same as the manual speed setting or the rate
applied will be incorrect. New Leader recommends using the manual setting for emergency use only.
In Manual mode, the application accuracy depends on the ability of the operator to drive at the
programmed manual speed.
The Manual setting is also used to empty leftover product from a stationary vehicle or to fine-tune the
CFR.
Manual Speed
Set to desired ground speed for manual operation. When the above Ground Speed Sensor setting is
“Manual,” ground speed is always equal to this setting.
Conveyor Switch
Either the console switch or an optional remote switch can be used to turn on/off the conveyor. The
default setting is “Internal.”
The internal conveyor switch is on the bottom right of the front of the Mark V. Put it in the up position
to turn the conveyor on (Green). Put it in the down position to turn the conveyor off (Red).
Set to INTERNAL to use the switch on the bottom-right of the Mark V front panel to turn the
