the 10-amp fuse must be within six inches of the
positive terminal. if the 10-amp fuse is farther than
six inches, a short circuit may cause significant
damage to the towed vehicle’s electrical system, an
electrical fire, or other consequential, non-warranty
damage.

Now, connect the remaining wire at the break away
switch to either one of the two wires extending from the
top of the solenoid valve on the air reservoir (Figures
8 and 10). If necessary, use the remaining length of
14-gauge black wire to reach the top of the solenoid
valve. As before, strip the ends of the wires before con-
necting them with the supplied blue butt connectors.
Where appropriate, use one or more of the included
wire ties to secure the wire in place.
5.
Crimp the smaller (#10) ring terminal onto the end
of the remaining wire extending from the top of the
solenoid valve, and attach the ring terminal to any good
chassis ground. (If necessary, use another butt connec-
tor, and any remaining 14-gauge black wire, to extend
the length of the ground wire.)
6.
If the battery must be disconnected for towing, install
a battery switch to the positive battery cable, as shown
in Figure 9. Connect the stop light switch wiring to the
battery switch.

with the kit.
1.
Using one of the blue butt connectors, attach one
end of the supplied length of 14-gauge black wire to
the end of either one of the two wires extending from
the break away switch. (If necessary, strip ¼" to 3/8" of
insulation from the end of the wires before connecting
them.)
Next, route the wire to the positive terminal on the
towed vehicle’s battery (Figure 8), avoiding moving
parts, sharp edges or “hot” components such as the
engine or exhaust system. Where appropriate, use one
or more of the included wire ties to secure the wire in
place.
2.
Cut the wire and strip ¼" to 3/8" of insulation from
the end of the wire. Crimp either end of the supplied
yellow 10-amp fuse onto the end of the wire. Strip the
insulation from one end of the remaining length of wire;
crimp the other end of the fuse onto the wire.
3.
If necessary, cut the wire again, leaving no more
than six inches, and strip ¼" to 3/8" of insulation from
the end of the wire. Crimp the larger (3/8") ring terminal
onto the end of the wire, and attach the ring terminal to
the positive terminal on the towed vehicle’s battery.
in order to prevent damage from a short circuit,
