Installation and Operation Instructions
Mechanical Switch
Introduction:
Back-up alarm activation switches are designed for use primarily on off-road
vehicles that do not have a reversing light circuit or where routing the alarm’s
wiring into the reversing light circuit is not feasible. These switches are
installed adjacent to the gear shift lever so that shifting into reverse will move
the switch actuator arm, activating the back-up alarm.
IMPORTANT!
Read all instructions before installing and using. Installer: This manual must be
delivered to the end user.
