Route control module cabling through the chassis so that the control box is within easy reach of the operator
when driving the vehicle. A mounting bracket is supplied for easy fitment, along with plenty of cable to route
around obstructions. The unit is designed to be hard-wired direct to the battery of the vehicle with a dedicated
feed. It is recommended that the control unit be hard-wired into the vehicle to ensure cables do not get snagged
and damaged by tools, equipment, dogs etc; should the hopper need to be removed at a later stage, the plug
can be disconnected from the hopper and the control module can remain in the vehicle when not in use.
