6. Connect the long section of the power cable to the
motor start solenoid.
Connection for gravity down models.
Connection for power down models.
WARNING
Improper grounding can
cause an electrical current
to travel through brake
lines, steel braided power steering hoses, or other
truck frame components, causing failure to these
components, which could result in the loss of vehicle
control.
7. If needed, attach a ground strap, the same gauge or
larger as the liftgate power cable, between the pump
box and the truck frame.
WARNING
Never secure the power
cable to anything which
allows it to contact sharp
edges, other wiring, the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake
lines, air lines, exhaust system, or any other object
that could cause the power cable to wear or be
damaged. A cut battery cable can cause sparks,
resulting in the loss of vehicle control, serious injury,
or even death.
8. Route the power cable along the truck frame to the
battery box attaching it with plastic tie wraps or wire
clips.
If the cable is too long, cut it to the desired length.
9. Install the optional cut-off solenoid or cut-off switch, if
desired.
WARNING
Anthony Liftgates strong-
ly recommends the instal-
lation of an optional power
cut-off solenoid (“4.5 Cut-Off Solenoid Connection”
on page 24) or cab cut-off switch (“4.6 Cut-Off
Switch Connection” on page 24). Allowing power to
the liftgate when the truck is unattended can result in
serious injury or death.
10. Reconnect the newly-cut end to the fuse.
11. If the power cable requires a cable lug on the end,
follow these steps.
a. Strip the insulation one inch back from the end of
the cable to expose the copper wire.

b. Position the cable lug on the exposed wire, as
shown. Crimp the cable lug using a cable crimping
tool (hydraulic or manual).
c. Use the supplied heat shrink tube to insulate the
new connection, leaving only the mounting hole
exposed.
NOTICE
Proper wire connection is crucial to
the life and dependability of the
liftgate’s electrical components. A
poor connection can result in low Voltage causing the
liftgate to work improperly. DO NOT crimp (smash) the
cable lug with a hammer to secure it to the cable.
