Safety
Before attempting any procedure in this book, these safety instructions must be read and understood by all workers who
have any part in the preparation or use of this equipment.
For your safety, warning and information decals have been placed on this product to remind the operator of safety precautions.
If anything happens to mark or destroy the decals, please request new ones from Snowex.
Unit must be pinned and locked into position before operating vehicle.
Never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of vehicle. Failure to do so may limit a vehicle’s handling
characteristics.
Never attempt to take a unit a truck with material in it.
Never exceed 45 m.p.h. when loaded spreader is attached to vehicle. Braking distances may be increased
and handling characteristics may be impaired at speeds above 45 m.p.h.
Never allow children to operate or climb on equipment.
Always check areas to be spread to be sure no hazardous conditions or substances are in the area.
Always inspect unit for defects: broken, worn or bent parts, weakened areas on spreader or mount.
Always shut vehicle and power source before attempting to attach or detach or service spreader
unit. Be sure vehicle/power source is properly braked or chocked.
Always keep hands, feet, and clothing away from power-driven parts. Remember it is the owner’s
responsibility to communicate information on safe usage and proper maintenance of all equipment.
Always make sure personnel are clear of areas of danger when using equipment. Maintain 60'

Safety
Always inspect pins and latches whenever attaching or detaching spreader, and before traveling.
Never leave material in hopper for long periods of time. Be aware that all ice melters are hygroscopic
and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up.
Remember, most accidents are preventable and caused by human error. Exercising of care and
precautions must be observed to prevent the possibility of injury to operator or others!
Never operate equipment when under the of alcohol, drugs, or medication that might alter your
judgment and/or reaction time.
Before working with the spreader, secure all loose clothing and unrestrained hair.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when servicing spreader. Failure to do this could result in
serious injury to the eyes.

General 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 holes 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 going to drill into the
vehicle harness or a control module. Generally you can drill on either side of the steering wheel for a good location.
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, 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 ba
ttery
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 O . The electrical
portion of the installation is complete.
NOTE: If adding an inline fuse (575 and 1075 only), use a 35 amp slow blow (time delay) or a 35 amp relay.
