Secure all cables using cable
ties and/or cable clips (mount
clips with self-tap screws).
Chassis Ground Corrosion:
When mounting chassis ground
cables, remove undercoating, dirt,
rust, etc. from the framing member
around the mounting holes. Apply
a protective coating to mounting
holes to prevent corrosion. Apply
grease to ground cable terminals
and mounting hardware.
Failure
to do so will void warranty of
certain electrical components
.
An 8-pin Deutsch connector
is mounted at the front of the
RA300 ramp. A mating connec-
tor (male plug) is supplied with
the ramp. The power supply (12
volt), the ground, a ramp OUT
signal (+) and a ramp IN signal
(+) must be terminated in the
supplied Deutsch connector.
The ramp installer provides an
appropriate control switch for the
end user. A momentary contact
ramp control switch (center off)
will typically be mounted near the
driver. The control switch may
be part of a panel providing other
features and controls (power on/off
indicators, LED’s, etc.).
Make electrical connections as
shown in Figure K page 19. Strip
wires, crimp and install contacts as
speci
À ed in instructions supplied
with 8-pin Deutsch connector.
The Positive (+) “battery” lead wire must
be protected by an in-line 30 ampere
fuse or circuit breaker
(installer pro-
vided).
Do not connect the power “battery” lead
wire to the battery until all other connec-
tions are made.
Connect the 8-pin Deutsch male plug to
the mating Deutsch connector mounted
at the front of the pan.
Carefully connect the power “battery”
lead wire to the Positive (+) battery post.
