Step 10

  Install breather cap on power unit and connect hydraulic hose from power unit to flow

control. Remove tack weld from Step 4. See figures 9 thru 12 for hose and battery

cable connections. 

On Gravity Down liftgates, install return line in place of plugs

on  butt  end  of  cylinder  and  return  port  on  pump  reservoir.  On  Power  Down
liftgates,  the  rod  end  port  on  cylinder  must  be  plumbed  to  C1  port  on  pump.

(note: Incorrectly plumbing rod end port on cylinder to C2 port will make gate drift

down and motor to spin backwards from raised position.) Attach ground cable to the

tapped hole in the pump base labeled “GnD” and to the trunnion mounting plate with

the .38 hardware and internal lockwashers provided.

Step 11

  Locate and mount the toggle switch assembly or pushbutton box in a convenient

place and wire the switch according to figure 13 or 14.
