Vehicle Harness Wiring Instructions

Step 1: Take harness assembly 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 Snowex uses high temperature 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 ICC bumper, back plate or long sill using supplied bolts, locate towards the center of vehicle to reduce the

amount of debris the tires will throw to the rear. Important: Apply a small amount of dielectric grease to the plug. Also try to

mount so plug faces upward to help keep plugs tightly sealed

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, or use existing access hole, 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: 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. Do not mount close to any heater vents.

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: 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.

V-Maxx 9500 HMK-175 MOUNT KIT

Required Mounting Instructions

Step 1: For dump trucks remove tailgate and for platform bodies remove rear racks.

Step 2: Load spreader on to truck bed and mount spinner assembly.

Step 3: Slide spreader forward until deflector/chute assembly makes contact with vehicle. Then, slide spreader back approx. 1" to allow for proper clearance.

Step 4: Install rear stop bars using supplied hole patterns (see Fig.2). To achieve the best position, you may need to drill additional hole s in bracket in order to properly position spreader.

Step 4-A: Install front stops using supplied hole patterns (see Fig.1). You will need to bolt through the body.

Step 5: Now that the spreader is located front to back, you will now center it left to right. Looking at the inside front and rear corner area of the lower frame area, you will notice (4) holes in the bottom of the frame. Using a paint pen or similar marking device, mark hole locations.

Step 6: Before drilling holes, look beneath the approximate area where each hole will be located. Make sure there are no vehicle components that will be in the path of the drill before doing this step. If there are interferences, you can relocate holes as needed making sure there are at least two forward and two rearward of the front to back centerline.

Step 7: Install and tighten all (4) bolts.

(see Fig.2)

Step 8: Install ratchet straps (see V-Maxx 9500 Mounting System: Strapping Techniques). It is very important for everyone’s safety this strapping method be used as the standard mounting procedure. NOTE: (Do not use ratchet straps exclusively.)

Step 9: Connect the spreader power cord to vehicle main power plug mounted at rear of vehicle (see Electrical Installation).

Operating the Spreader

PREPARATION

CAUTION – Sweep area clear of foreign objects or obstacles that could cause personal injury. Keep other persons, children, or animals out of the area to be spread.

SPREADER LOADING

WARNING – Do not overload vehicle. Use chart below to calculate weight of material. Weights of material are an average for dry materials.

Material

Rock Salt

Sand/Salt Mix

Weight Per Cubic Ft.

35-40 lbs.

95-120 lbs.

• Be sure to comply with manufacturer’s maximum gross vehicle weight ratings.

• Warning – Never leave materials in hopper for long periods of time as salt is hygroscopic and will attract atmospheric moisture and harden up. When spreading sand mix, a 1:1 ratio for Sand/Salt mix is recommended to prevent the material from freezing.

SPREADING TIPS

• Never exceed 10 m.p.h. when spreading.

• For a wider pass, increase spinner speed.

• For a heavier pass, drive slower, or increase auger speed.

• Never operate spreader near pedestrians.

• Spread ice melters with the storm to prevent unmanageable levels of ice.

• Calculate spread pattern when near vegetation.

V-Maxx 9500 CONTROL OPERATION

• The Dual Variable Speed Control has dual finger-tip dials for maximum performance, digital system status with warning protection and built-in Vibrator Switch.

• To start, press power switch on controller and spreader will accelerate to speed set on spinner and auger dials.

• To stop, press power switch on controller to off position.

• Speed of auger and spinner may be adjusted separately to get desired flow and spread distance from spreader.

• The Vibrator Switch is needed for dense material or to increase the flow to the auger. This eliminates bridging of material in hopper.

• In case spreader becomes jammed, it will go into an auto-reverse program to free itself. Auger display will show (AR) while trying to clear obstruction.

Operating the Spreader

(continued)

WARNING PROTECTION

• If audible beeping occurs, read display to identify problem. If display reads “OL” (overload) or “OH” (overheat). Shut controller down and carefully clear jammed auger. If display reads “E1“ this means there is a dead short in system. Do not use until problem is corrected. If display reads “E 0” this means that the motor is not getting any power. Check all connections. If display reads “LB” the vehicle battery is extremely low (possibly caused by a poor or corroded connection) and could damage the system.

• If there are any problems while operating the spreader, refer to Troubleshooting Guide.

AUTO-REVERSE “AR” FUNCTION

• If your controller displays “OL” this could indicate a jammed auger.

• To engage the Auto-Reverse “AR” function:

Step 1: Shut the Main Power Switch OFF for 3 seconds.

Step 2: Turn the Main Power Switch ON. When the machine starts back up the “AR” sequence will automatically start and the auger will reverse for several rotations to clear the jam.

• After a pause of several moments, the auger will automatically return to correct rotation.

• If the jam is still not cleared, the controller will again display “OL”.

• You may repeat Steps 1 & 2 for a second and third time.

• If after the third try the controller displays “OL” — you must extract the material that is causing the problem.

• Follow all warning directions when clearing jams.

BAFFLE INSTRUCTIONS

• The V-Maxx 9500 uses a dual baffle design over the auger area.

This baffle (D6889) is used for dry bulk materials. The baffle is designed to reduce the risk of leakage with clean/dry free-flowing materials. If the material you are using is damp/wet, you may need to remove baffle (D6889). This will allow for more un-restricted flow of materials and possible bridging.

• WARNING: Always disconnect power source before attempting to remove material baffle.

• The main baffle assembly (D 6888) MUST never be removed from its original factory installed position unless the unit is being serviced or installing Optiflow Kit.

Spreader Maintenance

• WARNING – When servicing is necessary, perform it in a protected area. Do not use power tools in rain or snow because of danger of electrical shock or injury. Keep area well lighted. Use proper tools. Keep the area of service clean to help avoid accidents.

• WARNING – Disconnect electricity to spreader before servicing.

• CAUTION – The controller is a solid state electronic unit and is not serviceable. Any attempt to service will void warranty.

• CAUTION – There are no serviceable parts in the motor/transmission assembly. Any attempt to service will void warranty.

• CAUTION – When replacing parts use only original manufacturer’s parts. Failure to do so will void warranty.

• Use diaelectric grease on all electrical connections to prevent corrosion at the beginning and end of the season and each time plugs are disconnected.

• Gently wash unit after each use to prevent material build-up and corrosion.

• CAUTION – When pressure washing motor enclosure area stay at least 36'' away from all electrical items.

• Paint or oil all bare metal surfaces at the end of the season.

• Apply small amount of light oil to latches as needed.

• If motor cover is removed for any reason, use silicone sealant to ensure weather proofing of enclosure.

• Grease bearings after every 20 hours use.

• After first use, tighten all nuts and bolts on spreader and mount.

• WARNING: Never remove spreader with material in hopper.
