Vehicle Harness Wiring Instructions

Step 1: Take harness assembly and route from the rear of the vehicle to the front. Route harness along frame and attach to

frame hole and frame supports. It is not recommended to attach to fuel or brake lines for obvious reasons. Do not route close

to exhaust system or engine, even though Snowex uses high temperature wiring. It still could melt under extreme heat and short the

spreader electrical system, as well as the vehicle electrical system.

Step 2:

Mount rear plug on bumper using supplied bolts, locate towards the center of the bumper to reduce the amount of

debris the tires will throw to the rear. Important: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the plug. Also try to mount so

plug faces upward to help keep plugs tightly sealed.

Step 3: Secure harness from the rear to the front using heavy duty ty-wraps or frame clips along the frame and lighter duty

ty-wraps everywhere else.

Step 4:

Layout harness portion that connects to the battery along the re wall and fender well. Do not connect power leads to

battery yet. Drill a 3/4" hole in the re wall, or use existing access hole, for the control portion of the harness and route

connector and harness through hole. Be sure to check the area on the other side of the re wall to make sure you are not

drilling into the vehicle harness or a control module. Generally you can drill on either side of the steering wheel for a good

location.

Step 4A:

The power harness from control box to battery will need to be routed from the inside of the cab to the battery – this

results from the large high amperage connector. Route leads with lugs to battery — do not connect power at this time.

Step 5: Connect harness to the back of the controller and mount to a suitable location. NOTE: You may want to contact

customer before mounting controller as some prefer not to have holes drilled into the dashboard. Ty-wrap loose controller

harness and move to the engine compartment. Do not mount close to any heater vents.

Step 6:

Connect power leads to the battery: Red + Positive, Black – Negative, always connect to the primary battery if using a dual

battery system. Secure loose loom to any other large or medium vehicle harness with medium duty ty-wraps this will secure

wiring harness.

Step 7:

Push the ON/OFF button on the controller to check for power; when that has been conrmed turn power OFF. The electrical

portion of the installation is complete.

will void warranty.

Special Notes:

1) All external connections must have dielectric grease.

2) Read lead labels before attaching to power source or ground.

3) No other devices may be spliced into wiring harness.

4) Any repairs to wiring harness must be done with heat shrink butt

connectors.

Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL)

tWith spreader mounted on vehicle, plug vehicle (CHMSL) harness into spreader stop lamp harness.

tUsing supplied harness clamps and screws, route harness along side wall lower corner or so that harness will be out of

the way when spreader is in use.

tLocate vehicle ground wire and stop lamp power wire at rear of vehicle. Use supplied wire taps to connect harness to vehicle

electrical system. Once wire taps are installed, check to make sure stop lamp works when brake pedal is pressed. Properly

complete installation by tying up any loose wires with ty-wraps, also add electrical tape over both connections to insure

a solid electrical connection. Some newer trucks have auxiliary stop lamp power leads already at the rear for these

types of applications.

Mounting Instructions

Step 1: Remove tailgate from pickup bed.

Step 2: Load spreader on to truck bed and mount spinner assembly.

Step 3: Slide spreader forward until deector/chute assembly makes contact with vehicle. Then, slide spreader back

approx. 1” to allow for proper clearance.

Step 4: Install stop bars using supplied hole patterns (see Fig.2). To achieve the best position, you may need to drill

additional holes in bracket in order to properly position spreader.

Step 5: Now that the spreader is positioned front to back, you will now center it left to right. Looking at the inside front

and rear corner of the lower frame area, you will notice (4) holes in the bottom of the frame. Using a paint pen or similar

marking device, mark hole locations.

Step 6: Before drilling holes, look beneath the approximate area where each hole will be located. Make sure there are no

vehicle components that will be in the path of the drill before doing this step. If there are interferences, you can relocate

holes as needed making sure there are at least two forward and two rearward of the front to back centerline.

Step 7: Install and tighten all (4) bolts.

Step 8: Install ratchet straps (see V-Maxx 8500 Mounting System: Strapping Techniques). It is very important for everyone’s

safety this strapping method be used as the standard mounting procedure. (Do not use ratchet straps exclusively.)

Step 9: Connect the spreader power cord to vehicle main power plug mounted at rear of vehicle (see electrical installation).

Step 10: Connect Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) cord from the spreader to mating half attached to vehicle

(See electrical installation).
