WIRING AND HARNESS INSTRUCTIONS
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Spreaders are shipped from the factory with the
spreader harness wired to the motor and spreader
module.
To properly wire the hopper spreader, follow this
recommended installation sequence:
1. Install the vehicle cable assembly and control
harness included with the spreader, following the
steps given below.
2. Install the cab control as described under "Cab
Control Installation."
NOTE: Use dielectric grease on all electrical
connections.
Vehicle Cable Assembly Installation
1. Remove the battery cables from the vehicle
battery.
2. Using the 1/4" x 3/4" cap screws, 1/4"
fl
at washers,
and 1/4" locknuts, mount the fuse holder near the
vehicle battery so that the battery cable can be
installed from the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal to
the fuse holder. Install the fuse into the fuse holder
and hand tighten the nuts.
3. Attach one end of the battery cable to the fuse
holder so that the ring terminal is on top of the
fuse. Replace the lock washer and nut.
4. Lay out a path for routing the vehicle cable
assembly from the rear of the truck bed to the
vehicle battery. Make sure that the path avoids
any hot, sharp, or moving parts of the truck.
Routing will vary from truck to truck.
5. Route the vehicle cable assembly as laid out in
Step 4.
6. Using cable ties, secure the battery cable to the
truck. Verify that the harness cannot drop onto the
road when it is disconnected from the spreader.
7. Attach the vehicle cable assembly red wire to the
other fuse holder stud so that the ring terminal is on
top of the fuse. Replace the lock washer and nut.
8. Tighten the fuse holder nuts to 106–159 in-lb
(12–18 N•m). Snap the fuse holder cover into
place.
9. Attach the other end of the vehicle cable assembly
to the POSITIVE (+) battery post.
10. Attach the vehicle cable assembly black wire to
the NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal.
Vehicle Control Harness Installation
1. Plug the vehicle harness into the vehicle cable
harness.
2. Lay out a path for routing the vehicle control
harness from its attachment point on the vehicle
cable assembly into the cab of the truck. Make
sure that the path avoids any hot, sharp, or moving
parts of the truck. Routing will vary from truck to
truck.
3. Choose a cab control mounting location that can
be reached by the harness. The location must
be within easy reach of the vehicle operator
without restricting access to vehicle controls or
instrumentation.
Do not mount the control in areas prohibited
by the vehicle manufacturer for reasons of
crashworthiness. See the vehicle's body builder's
book, owner's manual, or service manual for
details. The shaded portions in the illustration
below show the most commonly restricted areas.
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.
