INSTALLATION OF CIRCUIT BREAKER(S)
Batteries on a truck will require circuit breakers at both
the auxiliary batteries and the vehicle batteries.
Locate and mount circuit breaker directly to batteries
using copper terminal link supplied.
Circuit breakers must be mounted to give good
protection against any objects coming into contact with
circuit breaker terminals and causing a short. Positions
must also be readily accessible to reset breakers.
Note: Circuit Breaker is to rest solidly on battery to
prevent vibration during transit.
If unable to connect circuit breaker direct to batteries, an
optional 24”, maximum length, 2 Ga. battery cable may
be used.
Connect cables as shown.
Apply a generous amount of Dielectric Grease to all
Positive (Hot) Battery terminals and Circuit Breaker
terminals.
Install circuit breaker decal, 80100829, near the circuit
breaker.
For trucks, use remaining length of cables supplied with
liftgate, and route from auxiliary batteries to vehicle
batteries.
Install terminal lugs on cables as required per previous
instructions.
Install circuit breaker and cables to vehicle batteries per
previous instructions.
Protect wires from any sharp edges or
holes that may abrade insulated covering
of wires.
Secure battery cable so it does not come
near, or in contact with, other vehicle
wiring, fuel lines, brake lines, air hoses,
exhaust system, etc.
IMPORTANT:
If liftgate has a Mounting Bar, do not operate liftgate
before bar has been removed.
See below for trailer applications.
