NOTE: If the vehicle has a "side post" battery, it will be
necessary to install adaptors (#96100773) to make
connections at the vehicle battery (See Figure 1-7).
IMPORTANT:
The circuit breaker must be placed in
a location that will avoid excessive heat. DO NOT
locate these parts near the engine exhaust manifold.
A preferred location is one that will receive good air
flow from the radiator fan, but be protected from
excessive engine heat.
18. Mount the circuit breaker with two (2) #10 x 1" self-
tapping screws (#98100037).
19. Assemble the relay (from the bag of parts) onto the
relay connector plug on the main wire harness. Mount the
relay, using the mounting tab on the relay and a #10 x 1"
self-tapping screw (#98100037) near the circuit breaker
in a location that will avoid excessive heat.
20. Attach the ring terminal of the positive (RED) wire of
the wiring harness to the other terminal of the circuit
breaker.
21. Attach the black harness negative wire to the vehicle
battery NEG (-) post.
c
Keep wiring harness away from moving parts,
sharp edges and areas of extreme heat to avoid
electrical failure and fire.
22. Route vehicle harness from engine compartment to
rear bumper by the hitch receiver tube. Attach the
harness assembly to the vehicle at different points in the
cab and engine compartment and frame that will not
allow the harness to come in contact with sharp edges,
hot components and moving parts or mechanisms. Be
sure the harness is supported and protected by the
vehicle frame.
23. Fasten the main harness to the rear of the vehicle
near the bumper. Leave enough slack in the harness so
that the motor harness from the spreader can be
connected easily and not be under tension.
24. Connect the motor harness from the spreader to the
main wire harness.

CAUTION
Battery Safety
c
• Never lay tools or equipment on the battery.
You could accidentally ground the POSITIVE
(+) battery terminal, resulting in electrical
shock, burns or damage to equipment.
• Always disconnect the battery before removing
or replacing electrical components such as the
starter relay or battery cables.
FAILURE TO HEED CAN RESULT IN INJURY
OR DEATH.
