General 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 electrical system, as well as the vehicle electrical system.

Mount rear plug on bumper using supplied bolts, locate towards the center of the bumper to reduce the amount of

Step 2:

debris the tires will throw to the rear. Important: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the plug. Also try to mount so

plug faces upward to help keep plugs tightly sealed.

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:

battery yet. Drill a 3/4" hole in the re wall, or use existing access hole, for

and harness through hole. Be sure to check the area on the other side of the re wall to make sure you are not going to drill into the

vehicle harness or a control module. Generally you can drill on either side of the steering wheel for a good location.

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:

system, secure loose loom to any other large or medium vehicle harness with medium duty ty-wraps; this will secure wiring harness.

Step 7:

Layout harness portion that connects to the battery along the re wall and fender well. Do not connect power leads to

the control portion of the harness and route connector

Connect power leads to the battery: Red + Positive, Black – Negative, always connect to the primary battery if using a dual ba

Push the ON/OFF button on the controller to check for power, when that has been conrmed turn power O . The electrical

portion of the installation is complete.
