ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install roller chain between the gear box sprocket and the spinner sprocket. Make sure sprockets are in line with
each other. The roller chain is tightened, first by loosening all four (4) 7/16" bolts on the back plate. Then, pull the
entire bearing bracket assembly in such a way to achieve the right amount of chain tension. Make sure spinner
shaft is straight up and down before retightening.
2. Electric Throttle: Go to page 8.
Manual Throttle: Installation or replacement with gasoline engine do the following: Attach "Z" end of throttle
cable to engine throttle. Anchor brass shoulder end to engine with hold down. Drill 1/2" hole in truck cab for
control end of cable. The throttle handle can be removed to put throttle cable through drill hole. DO NOT MAKE
SHARP BENDS OR KINK THROTTLE CABLE. Use rubber grommet, supplied, in hole that you just drilled to
protect cable. Do not mount throttle cable assembly to switch bracket yet; upcoming assembly instructions will
become more difficult if throttle cable is mounted now.
Refer to diagram "A" on page 6-7 for installation and part ordering.
3. Run the (2) conductor cable (#16), which leads from the soleniod (white lead), and the electric clutch (black
lead) through the same hole which you put your throttle cable through.
4. Wire-up (2) conductor cable (#16) to the control panel as Diagram "A" shows; making sure the white conductor
is connected to the lone terminal of the push button (#3) and the black conductor to the lone terminal of the on/
off button (#7). The red wire (#6) which is about 4 ft. long, must be connected into the vehicles electrical system
so that it provides power to switch bracket. Control panel will not function without this connection.
5. Find a convenient location for the control panel and drill (2) 13/32" holes on 3" hole centers. Before mounting,
you may want to mount throttle cable to control panel according to diagram "A." Using the 3/8" x 1" bolts,
lockwashers and nuts, mount panel securely.
6. When finished, make sure all wires are away from moving parts and lower engine shroud.
CAUTION!
Never operate machine with engine shroud in the upright position. Never climb into hopper while the engine is
operating. SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH MIGHT OCCUR.
WARNING
Consult vehicle manufacturer for acceptable mounting locations. Improperly mounting the control box could interfere
with air bag(s) and the other functions of the occupant protection systems, such as knee bolsters!
Before mounting, you may want to mount throttle cable to control panel according to Diagram “A”.
Using the 3/8” x 1” bolts, lockwashers and nuts, mount panel securely.
