Vehicle Battery Cable Installation
1. Before beginning this installation, remove the
battery cables from the vehicle battery.
2.
Using the 1/4" x 3/4" cap screws, 1/4" flat washers,
and 1/4" locknuts, mount the fuse holder near
the vehicle battery so that the 22" 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 22" battery cable to the fuse
holder so that the ring terminal is on top of the
fuse. Replace the lock washer and nut.
4. Route the vehicle battery cable from the rear of
the vehicle bed to the vehicle battery. Make sure
that the path avoids any hot, sharp, or moving
parts of the vehicle. Routing will vary by vehicle.
5. Using cable ties, secure the battery cable to the
vehicle. Verify that the harness cannot drop onto
the road when disconnected from the spreader.
6. Attach the vehicle battery cable 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.
7.
Torque the fuse holder nuts to 106–159 in-lb and
snap the fuse holder cover into place.
8.
Connect the other end of the 22" battery cable to
the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal.
9.
Connect the positive battery cable to the
POSITIVE (+) battery terminal.
10.
Connect the negative battery cable to the
NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal.
