Electrical Installation (fig. 2)

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.

1. Lay out path for the Red Wire (0203800) in the
truck’s engine compartment. This wire will be
connected to positive terminal on truck’s battery.
Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one to
pass wire into cab. Do not route close to exhaust

system!

2. Lay out a wiring path for the Wire Assembly
222" long (0203600) toward rear bumper. Drill all
necessary holes or use existing ones to pass the
flat blade connector into the trucks cab. Attach
harness to truck’s frame. Do not route close to

exhaust system!

3. Install Socket Assembly (0203200) near rear
bumper. Remove paint/ primer and attach black
wire of this assembly to truck frame. Doing this
will insure good connection.

4. Connect Wire Assembly (0203600) to Socket
Assembly (0203200).

5. Mount the Controller (3006587) in a convenient
location in the truck cab. Connect Black ground
wire to truck’s frame or battery negative post (addi­tional wire is required). Connection to battery neg­ative post is recommended for newer trucks (2000
and up). It is recommended not to mount Controller
directly in front of the heat vents.

6. Make sure that the Controller is OFF. Connect
blue wire’s small female terminal to Controller’s
connector on controller’s rear wall. Connect the
blue wire to an accessory wire/terminal that is
controlled by the vehicle’s ignition switch. Connect
battery wire and 222" wire assembly to Controller.

7. Connect the Red Wire (0203800) ring terminals
to the battery positive post.
