21 HARDI ® MUSTANG 3500 OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Electrical Installation
The HARDI ® MUSTANG 3500 must be connected to a 12-volt DC
electrical system. Power is connected directly to the battery, or other
30 AMP power outlet. The HARDI
® MUSTANG 3500 has an ON/OFF
switch on the console to turn the power off when the system is not
being used.
Locate the system power cable. Connect the blue ground wire to a
good frame ground, be sure there is good metal-to-metal contact. See
Figure 7.3. Route the power cable from the battery to the back of the
tow vehicle. In routing cable to battery, avoid areas where the cable
may be subjected to abrasion or excessive heat. Connect the
ORANGE wire (hot) to the positive battery terminal.
Your HARDI ® MUSTANG 3500 is equipped with an electronic memo-
ry which does not require a constant supply of power to retain daily
totals or calibration values. The advantage with this type of memory
is that it conserves battery power and will not discharge the vehicle’s
battery when the power switch is off.
30-amp in-line
fuse required.
