To insure good performance of your spreader, check the
condition of truck’s electrical system. Using digital voltmeter,
check alternator and battery voltage. The voltage reading should
fall between 13.6 and 15.3 volts with engine running, head lights
and heater fan turned on. If voltage reading falls out of this range,
check and adjust your electric system.
A.
Lay out a wiring path for the Vehicle Wiring Harness. Connect
