TOWED VEHICLE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION:
Note 1: Towed Vehicle Electrical Installation should be conducted
after installer has properly plumbed Remco Lube Pump and
other Transmission related components (i.e. Port Fitting,
Drain Plug, and Selector Valve). Valve with Pressure Switch
on it must be properly plumbed before electrical connections
can be made.
NOTE 2: Carefully study the electrical schematic diagram, on page 10, to become
acquainted with the overall wiring plan and the circuitry.
NOTE 3: The coiled cable should rest on the tow bar if the sockets on both vehicles are either
opposite of each other or the sockets are mounted in the middle of both vehicles to
allow the cable to rest on the tow bar. Whichever way is used, the result will be the
same; to keep the cable from dragging on the ground. When the cable is not in use,
it should be disconnected from both vehicles and stored. The cable will keep its
coiled memory and last for many trips down the road.
Step 1. Two ¼” x ¾” self-tapping metal screws are provided to mount the socket bracket.
Make sure the socket is located high enough to provide curb and roadway clearance.
Step 2. Connect the 5 ft. length of white wire from the socket to a suitable chassis ground at
the front of the vehicle, not the frame. Normally, an existing screw or bolt can be
loosened to make this connection near the socket mounting. Trim the white wire to
a suitable length, strip back the insulation, and crimp a spade terminal to the end for
fastening to the screw or bolt. Make certain the terminal is crimped securely.
Moderately pull on the terminal to check. Check all terminals similarly when
installed.
Step 3. Run the 5 ft. long 2-conductor cable (red & black) from the socket, to the pressure
switch, which is integral part of the pressure switch assembly you have already
installed. Cut the 2-conductor cable to proper length, separate the wires back
approximately 3 inches and crimp a 1/4" female terminal onto each wire. Connect
one wire to each of the two blade connections on the pressure switch. Since polarity
is not critical, either wire can be connected to either terminal.
