5.2 INDICATOR LIGHT
The Extend-A-Gun has a built in switch to control an indicator light on the truck dash board showing that the Extend-A-Gun is in the
extended position. This is to help prevent damage that would occur if the deck gun hits a low overhanging object. Do not move the
truck with the Extend-A-Gun in the extended position.
5.2.1 INDICATOR SWITCH WIRING
The Extend-A-Gun latch mechanism contains a magnetic switch. This switch is intended to be used with a MONITOR EXTENDED
warning light. The magnetic switch in the Extend-A-Gun is a normally open switch, and the switch is closed when the Extend-A-Gun
is in the down position. The enclosed relay MUST BE USED to limit the current through the switch.

Drill a 1/2” diameter hole in the dash board for the panel light. Leave enough room for a 1-13/16” diameter label around the light
or a 2” wide x 1-1/2” high label next to the light. Apply one of the two warning labels and push the panel light through the hole in
the dash.
4.
Connect the labeled wires on the switch to terminal #85 on the relay and ground respectively.
5.
Connect the terminals on the panel light to terminal #87A on the relay and ground respectively.
6.
Connect a wire from a “spare” position on the trucks circuit breaker panel to terminals #30 and #86. The circuit from the “spare”
position in the fuse block should only be energized when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
