5. Connect the harness and the control power cable
to the back of the control and mount the control in
a suitable location within easy reach of the vehicle
operator without restricting access to the vehicle
controls and instrumentation.
Do not mount the control close to any heater vents
or in areas prohibited by the vehicle manufacturer
for crashworthiness. See the vehicle's body
builder's book, owner's manual, or service manual
for details.
NOTE: You may want to contact the customer
before mounting the control. Some prefer not to
have holes drilled into the dashboard.
ELECTRICAL HARNESS INSTALLATION
1. Route the vehicle harness along the vehicle
frame. Do not route it close to the exhaust system
or engine, where extreme heat could melt the
wiring insulation and short out the spreader and
vehicle electrical systems.
Attach the harness to frame holes and frame
supports. Do not attach to fuel or brake lines. Use
heavy-duty cable ties or frame clips to fasten the
harness along the frame, and lighter-duty cable
ties everywhere else
2. Mount the rear plug on the vehicle bumper using
supplied fasteners. Locate the plug toward the
center of the bumper, away from the path of debris
thrown by the tires.
NOTE: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease
to the plug. Try to mount the plug facing upward
to help keep plugs tightly sealed.
3. Lay out the control power cable along the
fi
re wall
and fender well. Do not connect the power leads
to the battery yet.
4. Drill a new 3/4" hole through the
fi
re wall — or use
an existing access hole — to route the control
power cable and harness into the vehicle cab.
Check the area on the other side of the
fi
re wall to
make sure you will not be drilling into the vehicle
harness or a control module. Generally, either side
of the steering wheel offers a good location.
CAUTION
Before drilling holes, check to be sure that no
vehicle wiring or other components could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Do not alter, modify or install additional
components in shaded areas shown below.
Failure to comply may interfere with airbag
deployment or cause injury to operator in an
accident.
