FL12/12HP Installation
Additional Trailer Type Mounting
MOUNT LOCATIONS:
FLATBED: Inside a forward frame rail or under the trailer
roof, with the harness side facing the J560
CHASSIS: Inside a forward frame rail with the harness
side facing the J560, or under a gusset with the harness
side facing the trailer harness
TANKER: For most tankers, the optimal mounting
location for an FL12 will be behind the plate that the
trailer’s J560 receptacle is mounted on
FLATBED MOUNT:
·
Find a mounting location in a frame rail or under the
trailer floor, with wire routing access that will allow the
FL12’s device harness to reach the J560
·
Use either of the plate mounting methods mentioned
on the previous page (welded, drilled & tapped) to
secure the FL12 to the trailer
·
Alternatively, two #10 x 1” wood screws can be used to
mount the FL12 directly to the flatbed’s wood floor
CHASSIS MOUNT:
·
Find a mounting location under a gusset on the driver’s
side frame rail, with wire routing access that will allow
the FL12’s device harness to reach the J560
·
Use either of the plate mounting methods mentioned
on the previous page (weld, drilled & tapped) to secure
the FL12 to the trailer
·
Position the harness side of the FL12 toward the trailer
harness on the driver’s side frame rail
TANKER MOUNT:
·
Using the FL12 itself as a template, mark two mounting
holes on the J560 plate
·
Drill both holes using a 5/16” drill bit
·
Secure the FL12 to the J560 plate, with the harness
side down, using two #10 screws and two serrated
flange nuts
CAUTION:
Never drill into or weld on a tanker. If your
tanker is not equipped with a J560 plate
that can be accessed from the rear, please
contact Spireon technical support, toll-free,
at: 877.819.0015 before proceeding.
