WIRING THE VEHICLE
Improper wiring is the #1 cause of problems in the operation
of a vehicle lift. Follow the wiring instructions carefully
The vehicle wiring harness is located in the hardware pack.
The harness is manufactured to comply with SAE J1128
requirements. It is approximately 23 feet long and will
accommodate most vehicles.
1. Unwind the wiring harness and lay it at.
The harness end with the black connector is
the lift end. It goes to the trailer hitch area
where the lift will mount. [Figure 17-1]
WARNING!
DO NOT connect
the red wire
until LAST.
2. Begin routing the wiring harness at the vehicle
battery. Attach the black wire to the negative terminal on
the battery. Do NOT attach the red wire until the very end
of installation. [Figure 17-2]
CAUTION!
NEVER attempt to connect the harness to
a secondary power source. Always connect
both leads directly to the battery.
3. Run the vehicle harness under and, when possible,
through the vehicle back to the bumper/trailer hitch area.
•
DO NOT run wiring near the gas tank.
•
If you wish to run the harness under the
vehicle, use the supplied wire ties to
secure the wire against the frame, avoiding
moving parts / hot parts such as exhaust.
•
Run the wire under and through the
vehicle whenever possible, gaining
entry into the vehicle through the
firewall
•
DO NOT run wiring where it can be
snagged by road debris.
