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 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 electric al system, as
well as the vehicle electrical system.
Step 2: Mount rear plug above hitch plate using supplied bolts, locate between hinges (important) make sure wiring and plug
are clear of dump body pinch points. Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to contacts.
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: Drill a 1-1/4 hole in the firewall or use existing access hole (check to make sure you are clear on the other side you intend to drill).
Route connector and harness through hole.
The power harness from control box to battery will need to be routed from
fromthe 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, 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 confirmed turn power OFF. The electrical porti
on
of the installation is complete.

Mounting Instructions for UMK-175 (optional mtg kit)
Step 1: Use centrally locatedlifting point on spreader frame. Hang spreader in center of dump body opening, (note) spreader
opening must be level with dump floor.
Step 2: Using bolts Provided in kit, mount left and right main angle to spreader frame.
Step 3:
Mark and trim angles to appropriate width to match tailgate, remount angles to spreader frame.
Step 1: Secure long leveling rod D-5741 to spinner enclosure through bottom hole in bracket with hair pin clip through hole
hole in pin (see fig 1)
Step 2:
Mount drive leveling bracket D-5738 to frame rail 4” below center of hinge. Weld or bolt in place (see fig 2)
Step 3: Connect D-5740 short leveling rod to drive leveling bracket with hair pin clip. Align both rods next to each other (see fig2)
and weld togther.
Step 4:
Using correct pin size provided in kit for lower latch pin, measure and cut pin to correct length. Clamping pins in correct location,
tack weld pins to angles securely and lock lower hinge point.
Step 5:
Using correct pin/ears provided for upper hings point, measure and cut to correct length. Clamping ears in correct location,
tack weld securely to the left and right main angles (see page 8-23) and secure upper hinge point.
Step 6: Double check that spreader will remove and install with ease.
Step 7: If using ears for upper hinge point support, upper gussetts must be welded directly behind mounting ears.
(see page 8-23)
Step 8: Complete welding pins and ears to angle fully.
Step 9: Remove angles from spreader for paint and reinstall.

Operating the Spreader
PREPARATION
CAUTION –
Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons, children, or animals out
of the area to be spread.
SPREADER LOADING
WARNING –
Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for dry materials
.
Material Weight Per Cubic Ft.
Rock Salt 35-40 lbs.
Sand/Salt Mix 95-120 lbs.
•Be sure to comply with manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings.
• Warning– Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and
harden up. When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material from freezing.
SPREADING TIPS
•Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading.
•For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.
•For a heavier pass, drive slower, or increase auger speed.
•Never operate spreader near pedestrians.
•Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.
•Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.
7500 CONTROL OPERATION
•The Dual Variable Speed Control has dual finger-tip dials for maximum performance, digital system status with warning protec
tion and
built-in Vibrator Switch.
•To start, press power switch on controller and spreader will accelerate to speed set on spinner and auger dials.
•To stop, press power switch on controller to off position.
•Speed of auger and spinner may be adjusted separately to get desired flow and spread distance
from spreader.
•The Vibrator Switch is needed for dense material or to increase the flow to the auger. This eliminates bridging of material in hopper.

Operating the Spreader(continued)
RTG INTERIOR BAFFLE & INVERTED-V INSTRUCTIONS
•The 2400 uses a multi-function baffle syetm over the auger area.
. This twin bafle design is used to reduce load on the auger drive train which controls amperage load to the electrical
system. It must not be removed unless servicing the unit.
•WARNING: Always disconnect power source before attempting to remove material baffle.
•There are to covers provided one long and one short. They can be removed in different combinations depending on the
material type or moisture content. Ultimately they aid in controling material flow to the auger area, however for wet sand
both baffles should remain in place.
. The baffle system is also connected to the vibrator link arm assembly to assist with material flow. Make sure vibrator bolts
and link arm hardware are tight before operating spreader

Operating the Spreader(continued)
WARNING PROTECTION
•If audible beeping occurs, read display to identify problem. If display reads “OL” (overload) or “OH” (overheat). Shut contr oller down and
carefully clear jammed auger. If display reads “E1“ this means there is a dead short in system. Do not use until problem is cor rected. If
display reads “E 0” this means that the motor is not getting any power. Check all connections. If display reads “LB” the vehicl
e battery
is extremely low (possibly caused by a poor or corroded connection) and could damage the system.
•If there are any problems while operating the spreader, refer to Troubleshooting Guide.
