ELECTRICAL 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.
NOTE: Always disconnect battery before attempt-
ing to install electrical components on your
vehicle.
• Mount the controller in a convenient location in the
truck cab. It is recommended not to mount the con-
troller directly in front of heat vents.
• 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.
• Connect the 4-pin connecter on the wire harness to
the control box.
• Connect the 2-pin connector on the power cable to
the control box.
• Lay out a path for the power cable to the bat-
tery, use quick ties to secure power cable.
DO NOT
CONNECT TO BATTERY AT THIS TIME!
• Lay out path for wire harness to the rear of the vehi-
cle. It is recommended to stay clear of the exhaust
system. Excess heat can damage the wire harnesses.
Use quick ties to secure harness to underbody.
• Connect the wire harness to the motor.
• Connect the power and ground cables directly to
the battery.
• Insure all functions of the controller are working
properly.
Observe spinner direction of rotation. The correct
direction is counter clock wise when looking
inside hopper from the top. If direction is clock
wise reverse wires between Motor and Wire
Harness.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure all wires are securely attached to
vehicle or spreader’s frame. Use wire ties and/
or wire clamps to attach wires. All excess wires
must be rolled into bundles and attached to
vehicle or spreader.
SPREADER MAINTENANCE
1.
This spreader is designed to use lose free floating
materials such as #1 dry Rock Salt. Using different
grades and/or wet material will affect spreader per-
formance. Wet material can “bridge” and stop floating
onto spinner disk.
2.
Make sure lid is installed and latches are secured
when spreader is in use.
3.
Do not leave material in hopper between uses.
4.
Do not drive with material in hopper.
5.
Always clean/ wash hopper and lubricate bearing
at the end of the day.
6.
Spray lubricant around motor shaft to prevent
water from penetrating into the motor.
7.
Apply dielectric grease to all electrical connectors
between uses and for long term storage.
CAUTION!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OR REMOVE
SPREADER WITH MATERIAL IN IT.
