631340 - Hoist/Winch Electrical Installation
1) Mounting the Handheld Box
Remove the 4 screws holding the cover on the black handheld
box. Using the 4 pan-head bolts, mount the box’s base plate
on the side you prefer the remote to be and near the door, but
out of the way of being damaged. Mount on the partition for
side door application or on the shelving end panel for rear
door application.
2) Mounting the Motor
Determine the best orientation for the motor so it doesn’t
interfere with the body or walls. Use the 5/16” Grade 8 bolt
(gold color) and Nyloc Nuts to attach the motor to the
mounting plate.
3) Wiring the Handheld Box to the Motor
Lace the black and red wires (provided in the Handheld Box)
inside 1/2” black flex. Leave about 6” exposed at one end.
Crimp two 1/4” ring terminals onto these exposed ends.
Attach both ring terminals to the studs on the Relay (Yellow and Blue Indicator Colors). Route the other end of
the wires to the motor using the clamps and screws provided to safely secure it to the walls. Leaving slack in the
wires going to the motor to allow the boom to swing freely without pinching the wires, cut the excess wire at the
motor and flex and crimp on a 1/4” ring terminal to each wire. Slide the black booty covers onto the wires and
then fasten the ring terminals to the motor studs.
Note: (These wires can be switched at the motor to change the direction of rotation to match the handheld.)
4) Connecting the Ground Wire
Using the 10 ft. of 8 AWG black wire, crimp on a 1/4” ring terminal to one end and encase in the 1/4” black flex.
At the handheld box, connect the ring terminal to a ground post as shown in the diagram. (Marked with a
Black Indicator Color). This should have a thin black wire for the Remote already connected to it. Route the
wire to either the battery or bolt to a spot on the frame with a 1/4” pan head bolt. Ensure there a good
connection with metal-to-metal contact.
5) Connecting the Primary Wire
Take the 30 ft. 8 AWG red wire and encase it with the 1/4” black flex leaving
about 6” of wire exposed on one end. Crimp on a 1/4” ring terminal to the
exposed end and bolt it to the center post on the relay (red indicator Color).
Route the wire to the battery using the shortest path you can. Using zip ties,
secure the wire every 12”-18”. Be sure the wire is not strapped to anything that
moves, gets hot, or could potentially damage the wire. Also keep away anything
that may get damaged should the primary wire ever short out, overheat, and/or
melt.
6) Connecting to the Battery
Trim the excess primary wire at the battery. Crimp on #10 ring terminal and
connect to the silver stud on the reset breaker included with the motor kit. Fully
wrap the reset breaker with electrical tape so no bare metal is showing. Double
check the primary wire is routed correctly and attached to the correct post on
