MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CONNECTED THE PROPER WIRE
COLOR. THIS IS WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM! NO
CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK’S FRAME OR BODY ALLOWED!
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.
NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempting to
install electrical components on your vehicle.
A. Mount the controller in a convenient location in the truck
cab. It is recommended not 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!
B. Route both wire harnesses into truck cab through firewall
(it maybe necessary to drill holes). Insulate hole to avoid
water leaks.
C. Insure no wires are nicked or damaged during
installation.
D. Connect the 4-pin connector on the wire harness to the
control box 4-pin connector.
E. Connect the 2-pin connector on the power cable to the
control box mating connector.
F. Connect wire harness single connectors to control box
connectors.
G. Connect fuse connector to the fuse terminal or ignition
switch (5 AMP max) if equipped.
H. 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!
