WIRING AND HARNESS INSTRUCTIONS

CENTER HIGH-MOUNTED STOPLIGHT 
(CHMSL)

An LED center high-mounted stoplight is standard 
equipment on all HELIXX™ poly hopper spreaders.

The orange wire from the spreader vehicle harness 
is for the CHMSL. Splice the orange wire into an 
existing CHMSL circuit wire tap. Location of the tap 
varies according to speci

fi

 c vehicle model, and may be 

located either in the cab or in the rear of the vehicle.

Always use the tap provided by the OEM.

DO NOT splice the orange wire into the wire coming 
o

  the stoplight switch by the brake pedal. Splicing at 

the stoplight switch may a

 ect transmission shifting, 

cruise control, or other vehicle functions.

For vehicles with a tap along the frame rail or at 
the rear cross member:

 

1.  Cut the tape holding the orange wire where it exits 

the convoluted tubing.

2.  Pull out the orange wire to the location where the 

vehicle CHMSL tap is located. Cut a small 
V notch in the tubing for the wire to exit. Pull the 
wire through the V notch and tape the tubing on 
each side of the exit point.

3.  Trim any excess length from the orange wire and 

splice into the vehicle tap.

Coil and cable-tie the brown wire away from any hot, 
sharp, or moving parts.

INSTALL ACCESSORIES
