2. Use the control head as a template and scribe two drill position marks at the selected
mounting location.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS
Before drilling holes, check the area into which you plan to drill to ensure you do
not damage vehicle components while drilling. All drilled holes should be deburred
and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wires going through drilled holes
should be protected by a grommet or convolute/split-loom tubing.
3. Drill a hole at each drill-position mark.
4. Secure the control head to the mounting surface with two installer-supplied sheet metal
screws.
Wiring the Control Head
SPARK HAZARD
If wires are shorted to the vehicle frame or each other, high current conductors can
cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires and molten metal.
Verify that no short circuits exist before connecting to the positive (+) battery terminal.
HIGH CURRENT ARCING
Do not connect this system to the vehicle battery until all other electrical connections
are completed, mounting of all components is complete, and you have verified that no
shorts exist.
High-current shorts can cause hazardous sparks or burning wire resulting in an
electrical fire.
To wire the control head:
1. Wrap the control cable’s stripped wire ends with tape and route the cable to the control
head mounting location.
2. Crimp the 1/4-inch FASTON terminals on the ends of the cable leads.
3. Connect the terminals on the switch as shown in Figure 4.2 on page 22.
4. Ensure that there are no loose wire strands or other bare wires that may cause a short
circuit. All wires must be protected from any sharp edges that could eventually cut through
the insulation.
