WARNING! Release the “DOWN”
button when the lift platform
touches the ground. Do not allow
the motor to run after the lift
platform has touched the ground.
Allowing the motor to run will
increase the pressure on the lift
platform and may result in product
or vehicle damage.
Wiring Harness Installation
The wiring harness is approximately 25 ft. (7.62
meters) long and will accommodate most vehicles.
NOTE: You may wish to perform a practice run
before installing the wiring harness. Route a
piece of light rope (equivalent to the gage of the
wiring harness) along the anticipated path ob-
serving contact points, potential rubbing/chaf-
ing points, and any sharp edges. Remove sharp
edges with a fine grade file, then treat the steel
with a rust inhibitor or metal sealant.
WARNING! Route the wiring
harness through the vehicle rather
than under the vehicle to avoid
coming in contact with sharp
edges, extreme temperatures,
moving parts, and roadway debris.
Power shorts may occur if wires
come in contact with hot exhaust
parts or sharp edges.
WARNING! Never attach the wiring
harness to a secondary power
source. Do not attempt to use
trailer wiring to power the lift
system. The wiring harness must
be connected directly to the
vehicle battery.
