Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Installing The Extension Power Cable
• Keep the cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and other
potential hazards.
• Keep the cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that
may pull on the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
• Leave enough slack on the cables so that the terminal can be removed
easily for maintenance.
2.3.6 Installing The Extension Power Cable
The terminal has a short power cord and connector. The extension power cable
(PN 13985) should be connected from the terminal’s power cord to a fused power
source capable of carrying the additional 3 Amps required by standard terminals or
5 Amps for freezer terminals.
Note: For vehicles operating on 24 Volts or above, connections must be made as
close to the vehicle battery as possible.
If an unfused power source must be used, install the fuse assembly (PN 19440)
provided with PN 13985. To connect the fuse assembly, push the male connector
of the fuse assembly into the female connector at the positive (red) lead of the
power cable. Connect the red lead to the positive side of the battery. Connect
the black lead to the negative side of the battery.
Warning: Do not reverse the polarity or connect to a voltage outside the
10-55 volt range.
Note: When installing terminals on vehicles operating on 24 Volts and above,
the diode assembly (supplied with the extension power cable 13985)
must be used to reduce the AC ripple produced by the SCR traction motor
controller on the vehicle. To connect the diode, push the male connector
on the diode assembly into the female connector on the positive (red) lead
of the power cable. If the fuse assembly is already installed, connect
the diode assembly to the fuse assembly as described in the previous
sentence. Connect the red wire from the diode assembly to a fused power
source on the vehicle.
It is recommended that all connections be secured with electrical tape or
heat shrink to prevent contaminants from degrading the connection.
