WARNING!
5) Tilt the unit to the desired position and tighten the 1/4" - 20 x 3/8" hex head
screws.
6) Use the mounting bracket as a templet and position for two hole by marking the
position with a scribe. Drill holes for positioning the mounting bracket.
CAUTION: When drilling holes in any part of the vehicle, make sure that both sides
of the surface are clear of parts that could be damaged; such as brake lines,
electrical wiring, fuel lines, or other vital parts of the vehicle.
7) Drill two 1/4" diameter holes at the position marked.
8) Secure the mounting bracket in place. Make sure all positions are tight and
screws secured in place.
NOTE: Many other locations may be of better choice for your operation. If other
locations are selected, use every precautionary measure to safely install to prevent
damage to the vehicle.
Wiring
Figure 2 illustrates the correlation of tagged wires to a corresponding operation. Example: Switch one (starting
from left to right) controls the electronic operation of the wire tagged as #1.
Insulated male terminals, which mate with the female terminals on the switch module wiring harness, have
been included in the accessory kit to facilitate installation. These terminals should be installed on the end of
the lead wire which will mate with the wiring harness lead wire. Use yellow terminals for 10-12 AWG wire and
pink terminals for 18-22 AWG wire.
NOTE: When using the insulated terminals, insure that all crimps are secure and that the male/female
terminals slip into each other and not over each other.
The user should install a fuse sized to approximately 125% of the maximum Amp capacity
in the supply line to protect against short circuits. For example, a 30 Amp fuse should
carry a maximum of 24 Amps. DO NOT USE 1/4" DIAMETER GLASS FUSES AS THEY
ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS DUTY IN SIZES ABOVE 15 AMPS. Circuit
breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will "false trip" when mounted in hot
environments or operated close to their capacity.
Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high
current wires it is highly recommended that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used
with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement
connectors (e.g. 3M
® Scotchlock type connectors). Route wiring using grommets and
sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to
reduce voltage drop. High ambient temperatures (e.g. underhood) will significantly reduce
the current carrying capacity of wires, fuses, and circuit breakers. Use "SXL" type wire in
engine compartment. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other
recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving parts and hot
surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to
anchor and protect all wiring.
Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible
and properly sized to protect the wiring and devices.
Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical
connections and splices to protect these points from corrosion and loss of conductivity.
Ground terminations should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably
directly to the vehicle battery.
