PROBING FOR 12 VOLTS MAY INDICATE
A CONNECTION, BUT NOT NECESSARILY
A SUFFICIENT CONNECTION.
THE LIFT’S MOTOR CAN DRAW UP TO
30 AMPS AT SOME POINTS, REQUIRING
ALL OF THE AVAILABLE
TO FLOW
PROPER CURRENT. POOR CONNECTIONS
ARE THE #1 PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH
A SLOW, INTERMITTENT, WARM,
POORLY PERFORMING MOTOR.
NOT ONLY WILL THE MOTOR PERFORM POORLY,
BUT WILL PREMATURELY DETERIORATE.
IF A SINGLE STRAND OF A MULTI-
STRAND WIRE IS MAKING CONTACT,
12V WILL APPEAR ON THE METER, OR TEST LIGHT,
BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE MOTOR TO OPERATE.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO TEST BOTH
CURRENT AND VOLTAGE, OR RUN THE MOTOR
WITH KNOWN GOOD SHOP BATTERY OR POWER
SOURCE WHEN TESTING FOR POWER.

LOCATED IN THE HARDWARE PACK IS THE VEHICLE WIRING
HARNESS. THE HARNESS IS MANUFACTURED TO, AND COMPLIES
WITH, THE SAE J1128 REQUIREMENTS. THE WIRE HARNESS IS
APPROXIMATELY 23 ft LONG AND WILL ACCOMMODATE MOST VEHICLES.
YOUR WIRING HARNESS HAS BEEN LEFT UN-ASSEMBLED
FOR EASE OF INSTALLATION. THE END CONNECTOR HAS BEEN
INCLUDED SEPARATELY FROM THE HARNESS TO ALLOW
THE INSTALLER TO THE RUN THE WIRE UNDER AND THROUGH
THE VEHICLE WITH THE SMALLEST HOLE POSSIBLE. FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSURE PROPER INSTALLATION.
DO NOT CONNECT RED WIRE UNTIL THE VERY END.
UNWIND THE HARNESS AND LAY IT FLAT.
ONE END OF THE HARNESS HAS 2 COVERED PINS.
THIS IS THE LIFT END OF THE HARNESS AND
GOES TO THE REAR CARGO AREA WHERE THE LIFT
WILL MOUNT.
BEGIN ROUTING THE WIRING HARNESS AT THE VEHICLE BATTERY.
ATTACH THE BLACK WIRE TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL ON THE BATTERY.
DO NOT ATTACH THE RED WIRE UNTIL THE END.
RUN THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER OR WHEN POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE VEHICLE, BACK TO THE REAR CARGO AREA / TRUNK. ALWAYS
LOCATE THE WIRING WHERE IT CAN NOT BE SNAGGED BY ROAD
DEBRIS AND AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK. THROUGH THE VEHICLE
IS BEST, GAINING ENTRY INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FIREWALL.
HOWEVER IF YOU WISH TO RUN THE HARNESS UNDER THE VEHICLE,
A HOLE WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO BE DRILLED TO GET THE WIRE
INTO THE REAR CARGO AREA / TRUNK. IF THE HARNESS IS TOO LONG
FOR THE VEHICLE, COIL THE EXCESS WIRE AND SECURE IT TO THE
VEHICLE FRAME WITH SUPPLIED TIE WRAPS.
DO NOT CUT OR SHORTEN THE HARNESS.
ONCE THE HARNESS IS RUN INTO
THE VEHICLE, REMOVE PIN’S
PROTECTIVE TUBING.
INSPECT THE PIN’S RETAINING FLANGES.
THE MAY HAVE BECOME DEFORMED
WHILE RUNNING THEM THROUGH THE VEHICLE.
THESE ARE CRITICAL TO SECURE THE PINS INSIDE
THE END CONNECTOR. ADJUST AS NEEDED.
FLIP OPEN END CONNECTOR’S HINGED RETAINER.
