Installation Instructions

3014199 SHPE Spreader Controller

Serial Number 15000 and higher.

IMPORTANT!

Before installation, check your truck's battery and alternator
using load tester. Do not proceed to installation if truck elec­trical system does not function properly.

NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempting to install
electrical components on your vehicle.

1. Mount the controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. It is not recommended to mount the controller directly in
front of heat vents. Allow ample air space around controller.

CAUTION!

Do not mount controller in the way of air bag deployment!

2. Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall
(it maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate hole to avoid
water leaks. Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during
installation.

3. Connect the round connecter on the wire harness to the
control box.

4. Connect the 2-pin rectangular connector on the power
cable to the control box.

5. Lay out a path for the power cable to the battery, use
quick ties to secure power cable.

DO NOT CONNECT TO BATTERY AT THIS TIME!

6. Lay out path for wire harness to the rear of the vehicle.
Stay clear of the exhaust system. Excess heat can damage
the wire harnesses. Use quick ties to secure harness to
underbody.

7. Connect the wire harness to the motors and vibrator.

8. Connect red wire to battery positive terminal. Connect
black wire to battery negative terminal.

THIS IS A WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM! NO
CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK’S FRAME OR BODY ALLOWED!

In trucks with dual battery systems always connect power
cable to primary battery (larger capacity/ truck starting
battery).
