Verify with the vehicle’s manufacturer that the factory installed anchor points are designed for tie-down such load. Inspect straps and hardware after each time spreader is loaded. Tighten straps and hardware if necessary.
2. Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A. Attach the Chute Assembly to the spreader. First, hook the Chute to the spreader by openings in the Chute’s handle. Then rotate the Chute into operating position and lock using two spring latches.
3. Control Box and Vehicle Wiring Harness Installation
WARNING
Do not drill holes into fuel tanks, fuel lines, through electrical wiring, etc that may be damaged by drilling.
To insure good performance of your spreader, check the condition of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter, check alternator and battery voltage. With engine running and head lights and heater fan on good voltage reading should fall between 13.0 and 15.3 volts. If voltage reading falls out of this range, check and adjust your electric system.
WARNING
Use extreme caution when working around an operating vehicle engine.
A. Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness. Connect the Wire Harness smaller terminal to the Chute’s harness, large terminal to the Hopper’s harness. Drill all necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the round terminal into the trucks cab. Attach harness to truck’s frame. B. Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck cab. It is recommended not to mount Controller directly in front of the heat vents.
WARNING
Do not install controller in the deployment path of an air bag.Refer to vehicle manufacturer’s manual for air bag deployment area(s).
C.Connect the Wire Harness round terminal to the Controller round terminal.
D.Lay out path for the Power Cable in the truck’s engine compartment. Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one to pass wire harness. It is recommended to pass the Power Cable from inside of the cab to the battery due to the large high amperage connector. Do not route close to exhaust system!
E.Connect Power Cable terminal to Controller.
F.Connect the Power Cable ring terminals to the truck’s battery, white-positive, and black-negative.
