Install control units at suitable places, but the
position of the control unit should ensure that the
operator has a good view of the load, the working
area and the loading area, whilst maintaining a safe
distance from the risk zone between the platform
and the body. Note that all cables must be
connected from below so that water can´t get into
the units but condensation can drain out.
All control units must be connected in parallel.
The control cable is connected to the circuit card in
the connection unit (see electric schema).
Install the control current cable from the
dashboard of the truck according to the customers
requirements. The control current swich should
be located so it is possible to be reached from the
ground 10 A (24 V) fuse between the current source
and the switch.
The control current cable is connected to a fixed
control unit. You can fasten the cable together with
the main cable to the hydraulic unit.
Connect the main power cable to the + pole of the
battery. The cable should be protected with a plastic
sheath. It must not be fastened together with brake
pipes or other electric cables of the truck. When
passing through holes the cables must be protected
with rubber bushings.
A 250 A (24 V) fuse is to be installed on the
main power cable running from the battery
compartment**. This acts to protect the electrical
systems from overloading and the risk of fire.
If you have a spiral cable unit, its cable colours are
different (see electric diagram):
Check that the hydraulic unit is well earthed
according to truck manufacturer´s instructions
(earthing is made through leading in plate, se
picture).
If you must lead a spiral cable up through the floor
you must protect it with a sheath up from the floor.
If you need to use power from the circuit card +ve
connection point a fuse must be installed, eg.
overload alarm 7.5 Ampere.
Test run all functions from all control units.
Alarm for open platform
The alarm consists of a warning lamp (which should
be placed clearly visible in the driver cabin), which
illuminates when the ignition key is turned on,
and the lift platform is not pressed up against the
underside of the chassis
The device consists of:
*Pressure guard placed on the tilt cylinder circuit.
*Cable to the dash board
*Fuse
*Warning lamp 24 Volt
Alarm for open platform (trailer)
The alarm consists of a warning lamp (which should
be placed on the body of trailer, clearly visible so
that the driver can see it in the rear mirror), which
illuminates if the lift platform is not pressed up
against the underside of the chassis
The device consists of:
*Pressure guard placed on the tilt cylinder circuit.
*Cable to the warning lamp
*Fuse
*Warning lamp 24 Volt
5. Electrical installation
Positioning of control unit
NB. The quick connectors must be well protected
and should be positioned inside the vehicle chassis.
**Note! The fuse should be placed on a well
protected place and as near as possible to the
battery.
