General
Pay attention and be careful during all cable routing in order to obtain longer life for the cables and to reduce
the risk of unnecessary downtime.
The cable must not be fastened to brake lines or the vehicle’s normal electrical system.
The cable must be protected by rubber grommets when it passes through beams or walls.
Cables must be installed sufficiently far
from, or be protected against, sharp edges so they cannot chafe or
otherwise sustain damage that could lead to a short-circuit and cable fires.
Take care not to bend cables to too tight a radius as this can cause damage.
IMPORTANT
!
Picture 43. Protect the cable against sharp edges and use cable grommets

Main power cable, ground cable and main fuse
When installing tail lifts on trailers, it is recommended that the CD 4 controller with main power switch be
used.
The main power cable has to be run through a plastic collar and must not be fastened to the brake line
or the vehicle's existing electrical system. The main fuse has to be fitted close to the battery.
1.
Screw the fuse box
in a suitable well-protected place as close to the battery as possible.
2. Run the main power cable from the battery to the fuse box. Prepare the cable with cable terminals with-
out connecting.
3. Run the main power cable from the fuse box to the controller’s main power switch and connect to the
same. Prepare the cable with a cable terminal without connecting to the fuse box.
4. Run the main power cable from the main power switch and connect to the quick connector on the tail lift’s
cabling.
5. Run the ground cable from vehicle’s grounding point to the quick connector on the tail lift’s cabling.
Comment
Connection of the cabling to the battery and the main fuse is performed later in section 7 after completion of
cable routing/installation.
