2.
Mounting the Spinner/Chute Assembly
A.
Attach the Chute Assembly to the spreader. First, hook the
Chute to the spreader by openings in the Chute’s handle (Fig.
5).
3. Install Control Box & Vehicle Wiring Harness (Fig.7).
NOTE: THIS IS A WIRE GROUND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM! NO
CONNECTIONS TO TRUCK'S FRAME OR BODY ALLOWED!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO INSTALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON YOUR
VEHICLE.
B.
Rotate the chute into operating position and lock using the
two spring latches (Fig. 6).
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. 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
the Wire Harness smaller terminal to the Chute’s harness, large
terminal to the Hopper’s harness. Drill all necessary holes or use
existing ones to pass the round connector into the trucks cab.
Secure harness to truck’s frame.
B.
Mount the Controller in a convenient location in the truck cab.
Do not mount controller directly in front of the heat vents. Allow
ample air space around controller. Protect controller from water,
dirt and dust.
C.
Apply dielectric grease or similar compound to
connectors before assembly. Connect the round
connector on the wire harness to the round connector on the
controller.
D.
Lay out path for the power cable in the truck’s engine
compartment. Drill hole in the firewall or use an existing one to
pass the wire harness. Passing the power cable from inside of
the cab to the battery is recommended to protect the large high
amperage connector. Do not route the power cable close to
exhaust system!
E.
Connect power cable connector to controller.
F.
Connect the power cable ring terminals to the truck battery
(fig. 7).
