10 Truck Electronics & Mount Kit Assembly
CAUTION: Ensure that the electrical system
will clear any hood lift/spring mecha-
nisms before installation.
NOTE: Do not over tighten nuts on the motor
solenoid terminals. Over-tightening causes pre-
mature solenoid failure. Refer to torque specifica-
tions on the solenoid.
5.
Select an area within 16" of the vehicle
battery for the motor solenoid placement.
Using the solenoid bracket as a template,
mark and drill two 3/16" diameter holes then
fasten the solenoid with two 1/4" x 1/2" long
self tapping screws provided in the electri-
cal parts box.
6.
Safely route the 16 pin plow harness
(38828012) from the HTBX controller
through the grill of the vehicle to a location
that will be easily accessible with the plow
attached.
7.
Refer to drawings 8000 or 8001 for con-
necting the power cable and harness:
a. Connect the black terminal from the 9'
battery cable (38813066) and the black
wire from the power harness (38828016) to
the minus(-) post of the vehicle's battery or
the vehicle's designated ground stud.
b. Connect the red striped terminal from the
9' battery cable (38813066) to the motor so-
lenoid then route the battery cable through
the grill near the 16 pin plow connector.
c. Connect the 24" red cable to the motor
solenoid.
d. Connect the red fused wire from the pow-
er harness (3882016) and the free end of
the 24" red cable to the plus(+) terminal of
the battery or battery access post.
e. Connect the black wire & the blue wire
from the power harness (38828016) to the
small posts of the motor solenoid, polarity is
not important.
8.
See instruction sheet provided with vehicle
specific harness for hooking up the HTBX
system to the vehicle's headlights.
9.
To complete the electrical installtion: con-
nect all harnesses to the HTBX controller
and secure all harnesses & cables away
from hot or moving components with the
provided cable ties.
10. See instruction sheet provided with the ve-
hicle specific mount kit to finalize the ve-
hicle part of the plow installation.
NOTE: Prongs from the mount kit should be at a
height that will slightly lift the plow frame when
attaching the plow. General rule of thumb is 9"
from the ground to the underside of the prong.
This can vary if the truck has a modified sus-
pension.
NOTE: Powdered graphite can be used on the
prongs to help the plow slide on and off more
easily.
NOTE: Prong receivers on the plow frame must
be parallel to the ground before attaching the
plow. Always follow the attaching and detaching
instructions that are decaled on the rear side of
the plow blade.
