The National Highway Traf c Safety Administration
(NHTSA) has set new rear vision system
requirements for vehicles with a 10,000 lb or lower
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) in an update
to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 111. It requires that vehicles with a
rear vision system still have unobstructed use of
that system (or an equivalent replacement) after
the vehicle is altered. NHTSA offers information on
this standard and testing procedures to verify that
auxiliary systems meet the standard on its website.
It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that
the vehicle complies with FMVSS.

HOPPER SPREADERS: THEORY OF OPERATION
STEEL / POLY HOPPER SPREADERS (ELECTRIC MODELS)
The spreader is controlled by a FLEET FLEX
multiplex electrical system. Using a digital signal,
the control sends inputs to the spreader module
which controls the conveyor and spinner speed
independently. The module, in turn, monitors
amperage draw and will display any fault codes on
the control display screen.
Examples:
(EH) Empty Hopper,
(CE) Communication Error.
The control also gives the operator the ability to
adjust the brightness level of the LED lights, and to
calibrate the empty hopper setting.
NOTE: Calibrating the empty hopper setting
should be part of the set-up procedure, and
must be calibrated when the spreader is
empty. Failure to do so will result in a false
code or no code when the spreader has run
out of material.
Digital signals are sent from the control, passing
through the two communication wires in the vehicle
control harness to the vehicle harness assembly
(power cable with two communication lines), which
also provides 12V DC and ground to the spreader.
From there, it travels down the vehicle harness to
the hopper harness assembly into the spreader
module. Not only are the spreader conveyor and
spinner speeds set, but so are accessories, such
as vibrator, work lights, strobe lights, and the
ON/OFF control of pre-wet systems.
The vehicle control harness also contains the
red switched accessory wire and the orange
Center High Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) wire.
NOTE: Not all vehicles will connect the
CHMSL wire in the cab. Some may need to be
connected at the rear of the vehicle. Check the
body builder's guide pertaining to the make of
the vehicle.
The vehicle harness contains wiring for the license
plate light and CHMSL light.
NOTE: Not all vehicles will connect at the rear
of the vehicle. Some may need to be connected
in the cab. Check the body builder's guide
pertaining to the make of the vehicle.
See the Owner's Manual and Installation Instructions for more complete information.

OPERATING THE HOPPER SPREADER – CAB CONTROLS
POWERING THE CONTROL
Power is not applied to the control until the vehicle
ignition is turned to ACC or ON. Once the control
has power it performs a light check and displays
the software version on the status display. The
control then checks for a connected spreader.
If no spreader is detected, the following occurs:
• nC (no connection) appears on the red status
display for ve seconds;
a single beep sounds;
control enters Standby mode with no lights
illuminated.
CAB CONTROL MODES
Ready Mode
Vehicle ignition is set to ACC or ON; cab control is
OFF. Control has power.
The Material Width and Material Flow control
knobs can be set to start-up conditions, but the
spinner and hopper drives will not operate until the
cab control is turned ON.
Accessory lights and vibrator (if installed) are
operational. The BLAST function is not operational.
ON Mode
Vehicle ignition is set to ACC or ON; cab control is ON.
Spinner and hopper motors will start. All cab
control functions are operational. Accessory lights
and vibrator (if installed) are operational.
During normal spreader operation, no control
codes are displayed. Information or setup codes
will appear when relevant. These codes will not
stop spreader operation.
Error Mode
When an error condition occurs, spreader
operation will shut down. A two-digit error code will
ash on the display and a beep will sound. If there
are multiple error codes, the codes will ash in a
repeating sequence.
Refer to the Error Codes portion of the
following Cab Control Codes table. Also see the
Troubleshooting Guide section of the Owner's Manual.
Once the error condition has been resolved, press
the ON/OFF button to clear the error code(s).
Press the ON/OFF button again to resume
spreader operation.
The error code will reappear if the error condition
has not been recti ed. If the error condition
persists, contact your authorized dealer.
Multiple resets within a short time frame will cause
the hopper module to time out if components are
overheating. The control will display an EF error code.
Accessory work lights and strobe lights can be
used when an error code is in effect and will
remain in their current state. The vibrator and
pre-wet will not function.

OPERATING THE HOPPER SPREADER – CAB CONTROL
CAB CONTROL SETUP PROCEDURES
Calibrate the Empty Hopper Setting
(Cb and EH Codes)
Calibrating the empty hopper setting enables the
cab control to alert the operator when the hopper
is empty.
Recalibrate the empty hopper setting at the start of
each ice-control season.
1. Ensure that the hopper is empty before
beginning the calibration.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition to ACC or ON. Press
the ON/OFF button on the cab control to turn
the control ON.
3. Press and hold the Material Width (left) knob
for approximately 10 seconds until the Cb code
displays.
4. The calibration cycle will begin. The blue
LEDs around the Material Flow (right) knob will
illuminate in succession until all eight are lit.
5. When the automatic calibration cycle is
complete, the control will automatically revert
to the previous material application settings.
Adjust LED Brightness Level
(LS and SL Codes)
The brightness setting of the cab control lights
can be adjusted from 1 to 16. The factory default
setting is 8.
1. Turn the vehicle ignition to ACC or ON. If
necessary, press the cab control ON/OFF
button to turn the control OFF.
2. Press and hold the Material Width (left) knob
for approximately 3 seconds until the LS code
is displayed.
3. Release the knob and turn it clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase/decrease the
brightness level. The light level number will
show in the status display.
4. After selecting the desired brightness level,
wait a few seconds for the SL con rmation
code to display.
NOTE: A brightness level setting of 12
or higher is recommended for daylight
conditions.
If the control is turned OFF or loses power during
the calibration cycle, the calibration data will be
lost. Make sure that the control is ON and restart
the calibration process at Step 3.
Once the empty hopper setting has been
calibrated, the EH code will ash on the display
and a beep will sound whenever the hopper is
empty. The EH code is informational only and will
not stop spreader operation.
Clearing Empty Hopper Calibration Data
(Cc Code)
The empty hopper calibration may be cleared, if
desired. The control will no longer display the EH
status code when the hopper is empty.
Start the calibration cycle as described above. At
Step 4, press the Material Flow (right) knob during
the calibration cycle to clear all calibration data.
The Cc (Clear Calibration) code will display and the
control will exit Cc mode automatically.

7. Do not leave an unsecured spreader
standing on its feet. After pulling the truck
away, either lower the spreader so that it is
resting on its six legs or properly support it with
blocks and secure it as directed in the Storage
section of this manual. If lowering the spreader
onto its six legs, place spacers under the legs
so that the feet at the rear of the spreader are
off the ground.
POLY HOPPER SPREADERS – REMOVING THE SPREADER
CAUTION
Before lifting, verify that hopper is empty
of material. The lifting device must be able
to support the spreader's weight as shown
in the spreader speci cations table of the
spreader Owner's Manual.
1. The spreader can be removed from the truck bed
either by lifting the spreader by the four molded-in
handles located on the corner legs or by sliding
the spreader out of the truck bed onto the ground.
2. First make sure that all material has been removed
from the spreader and the chute is detached. To
empty spreader and remove the chute:
a. Remove the two pins that hold the chute to
the hopper body.
b. Disconnect the spinner motor connector.
c. Grasp the chute, raise it, and remove it
from the hopper body.
d. Operate the hopper to convey all material
from the spreader.
e. Remove the sill de ectors by loosening the
bolts for the bearing and gear box. Slide
out the de ectors and tighten the bolts.
3. Disconnect the electrical connections at the
spreader.
4. Remove any means used to attach the
spreader to the truck bed and ensure that the
lids are closed securely.
5. To remove the spreader without a lifting device,
two or more people are recommended. Move
spreader rearward until it balances at the rear
of the bed. Carefully lower the back of the
spreader to the ground so that it is resting on
its feet.
6. Tip the spreader up onto spacers at least
2" tall, so that it is fully supported by the feet.
