Wiring Instructions

STEP 1: TAKE HARNESS ASSEY.AND ROUTE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO THE FRONT. ROUTE HARNESS ALONG FRAME AND ATTACH TO FRAME HOLES AND FRAME SUPPORTS. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO ATTACH TO FUEL OR BRAKE LINES FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. DO NOT ROUTE CLOSE TO EXHAUST SYSTEM OR ENGINE, EVEN THOUGH CURTIS USES HIGH TEMPRETURE WIRING IT STILL COULD MELT UNDER EXTREME HEAT AND

SHORT THE SPREADER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

STEP 2: MOUNT REAR PLUG ON BUMPER USING SUPPLIED BOLTS, LOCATE TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE BUMPER TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS THE TIRES WILL THROW TO THE REAR. IMPORTANT–APPLY A SMALL

AMOUNT OF DIAELECTRIC GREASE TO THE PLUG.

STEP 3: SECURE HARNESS FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT USING HEAVY DUTY TY-WRAPS OR FRAME CLIPS ALONG THE FRAME AND LIGHTER DUTY TY-WRAPS EVERYWHERE ELSE.

STEP 4: LAYOUT HARNESS PORTION THAT CONNECTS TO THE BATTERY ALONG THE FIRE WALL AND FENDER WELL. DO NOT CONNECT POWER LEADS TO BATTERY YET. DRILL A 3/4'' HOLE IN THE FIRE WALL FOR THE CONTROL PORTION OF THE HARNESS AND ROUTE CONNECTOR AND HARNESS THROUGH HOLE. BE SURE TO CHECK THE AREA ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIRE WALL TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DRILL INTO THE VEHICLE HARNESS OR A CONTROL MODULE. GENERALLY YOU CAN DRILL ON EITHER SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A GOOD LOCATION.

STEP 4A: (FAST-CAST 4000) THE POWER HARNESS FROM CONTROL BOX TO BATTERY WILL NEED TO BE ROUTED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAB TO THE BATTERY – THIS RESULTS FROM THE LARGE HIGH AMPERAGE CONNECTOR. ROUTE LEADS WITH LUGS TO BATTERY – DO NOT CONNECT POWER AT THIS TIME.

STEP 5: CONNECT HARNESS TO THE BACK OF THE CONTROLLER AND MOUNT TO A SUITABLE

LOCATION.****(NOTE)****YOU MAY WANT TO CONTACT CUSTOMER BEFORE MOUNTING CONTROLLER, SOME PREFER NOT TO HAVE HOLES DRILLED INTO THE DASHBOARD. TY-WRAP LOOSE CONTROLLER HARNESS AND MOVE TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

STEP 6: CONNECT POWER LEADS TO THE BATTERY: RED+ POSITIVE, BLACK - NEGATIVE, ALWAYS CONNECT TO THE PRIMARY BATTERY IF USING A DUAL BATTERY SYSTEM, SECURE LOOSE LOOM TO ANY OTHER LARGE OR MEDIUM VEHICLE HARNESS WITH MEDIUM DUTY TY-WRAPS THIS WILL SECURE WIRING HARNESS.

STEP 7: INSTALL IGNITION WIRE TO AN AUXILIARY CIRCUIT THAT IS HOT WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED TO ON POSITION. THIS WIRE IS 60'' LONG AND HAS A FEMALE TERMINAL ATTACHED TO IT. THIS WIRE WILL PLUG INTO BACK OF CONTROLLER. THIS WIRE MUST BE INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR CONTROLLER TO WORK.

STEP 8: PUSH THE ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE CONTROLLER TO CHECK FOR POWER, WHEN THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TURN POWER OFF. THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

NOTE: IF ADDING AN INLINE FUSE, USE A 35 AMP SLOW BLOW FUSE (FAST-CAST 2000 AND FAST-CAST 3000 ONLY), AND USE A 60 AMP SLOW BLOW FUSE FOR FAST-CAST 4000 ONLY.
