Mounting the Control Head
NOTE: When selecting a mounting location for the control head, keep the cable length of the SignalMaster in
mind. Plan wiring and cable routing before installation.
To mount the control head:
1. Assemble the control head as shown in Figure 2. For proper operation of the unit, the switches must be
installed as shown.
2. Select a mounting location for the control head that allows the vehicle and controls to be operated safely
at all times.
3. Use the control head as a template and scribe two drill position marks at the selected mounting location.
4. Drill two holes at the scribed position marks.
5. Secure the control head to the mounting surface with two user-supplied sheet-metal screws.

Wiring Power Connections to the Control Head
WIRING PRECAUTION: When installing a split SignalMaster system, ensure that the assembly on the
left rear side of the vehicle only signals left. Do not connect the white wire to the left rear-mounted
SignalMaster. The split SignalMaster on the right should only signal right. Do not connect the green
wire to the right rear-mounted SignalMaster. Failure to heed this warning may cause a vehicle
accident, resulting in serious injury or death.
HIGH CURRENT ARCING: Do not connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical
connections are made, mounting of all components is finished, and you have verified that no shorts
exist. High current conductors can cause hazardous sparks or burning wire, resulting in electrical
fires.
