SECTION 2 : INSTALLER
Wiring the Vehicle
Figure 12-1
Figure 12-2
IMPORTANT
If the installation requires the wiring harness to run
on the underside of the vehicle, route it away from
exhaust system, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tank and
any moving parts. Avoid pinch points and sharp
edges. Avoid locating the harness where it can be
snagged by road debris.
Improper Wiring is the #1 Cause of
Problems in the Operation of a Vehicle
Lift. Follow the Wiring Instructions
Carefully
The vehicle wiring harness is located in the hardware
pack. The harness is manufactured to comply with
SAE J1128 requirements. It is approximately 23 feet
long and will accommodate most vehicles.
Instructions
1. Unwind the wiring harness and lay it lat.
One
end of the harness has 2 covered pins. This is the
lift end and goes to the rear cargo area where the
lift will mount.
The wiring harness is unassembled for easier
installation. The end connector is included
separately from the harness to enable the installer
to run the wire under and through the vehicle
with the smallest clearance possible.
2. Route the wire harness beginning at the
battery.
Attach the black wire to the negative
terminal on the battery.
[Figure 12-1]
Do NOT connect the red wire to the battery until
the very end.
3. Run the vehicle harness under and, when
possible, through the vehicle back to the rear
cargo area/trunk
, gaining entry into the vehicle
through the irewall.
[Figure 12-2]
If you want to run the harness under the vehicle,
you will most likely need to drill a hole to get
the wire into the rear cargo area/trunk. Use the
supplied 3/8 grommet in the hole to protect the
wire.
CAUTION
Never attempt to connect the
harness to a secondary power
source. Always connect both leads
directly to the battery.
CAUTION
Do NOT run wiring where it can be
snagged by road debris.
Do NOT run wiring near the gas tank.
