  • Page 8 ELECTRICAL Pump & optional vibrator POSITIVE DO NOT USE VEHICLE CHASSIS OR SUBFRAME AS GROUND GROUND For rated performance, the voltage at the power unit must be a minimum of 12VDC. This should be measured between the large terminal of the start solenoid (where the battery cable is connected) and the power unit base. NOTE: Grounding of the power unit is just as important as the installation of the positive battery cable.
  • Page 9 ELECTRICAL Locate the push-button control, in the cab and route the cable out of the back side of cab, through a hole in the back of the cab. Connect the push-button control to the electric power unit using the 3-pin or 4 pin connector set, or manually tie in each terminal, depending on pump model series.
  • Page 10 INSTALLATION Your DownEaster dump body will come fully assembled to the SUB frame and hoist attached. (unless ordered otherwise). This body was designed for Cab & Chassis trucks with a frame width of 34" only. Any other frame width will require custom mounting, responsible by the installer.
  • Page 11 INSTALLATION Prepping Frame Prep rear of chassis frame, ensuring all fuel lines, wiring, hoses and brake lines are protected or covered from flames or sparks. NOTE: If the truck frame has rivets in the top flange, where the hoist saddle brackets will be mounted, add spacers provided (rivet shims) between the truck frame and hoist mounting pads.
  • Page 12 INSTALLATION Place the body/hoist/sub frame on the truck with a minimum of 2.5" inches of cab clearance. Note: Installing temporary jumper cables to the pump, will ease installation of 0/1 cables, as to lift the body up to better access the pump solenoid. If rear bolt on option was chosen, align holes in rear hinge with holes drilled in chassis.

Connect cables as shown in the electrical section of this manual. Cycle body up and down and check for leaks and any clearance issues pertaining to wiring or components on vehicle.

Please keep in mind when servicing this unit that the most common cause of system failure is dirt!!! Keep service area clean.
