PROBING FOR 12 VOLTS MAY INDICATE
A CONNECTION, BUT NOT NECESSARILY
A SUFFICIENT CONNECTION.
THE LIFT’S MOTOR CAN DRAW UP TO
30 AMPS AT SOME POINTS, REQUIRING
ALL OF THE AVAILABLE TO FLOW
PROPER CURRENT. POOR CONNECTIONS
ARE THE #1 PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH
A SLOW, WARM, POORLY PERFORMING MOTOR.
NOT ONLY WILL THE MOTOR PERFORM POORLY,
BUT WILL PREMATURELY DETERIORATE.
IF A SINGLE STRAND OF A MULTI-
STRAND WIRE IS MAKING CONTACT,
12V WILL APPEAR ON THE METER, OR TEST LIGHT,
BUT WILL NOT ALLOW THE MOTOR TO OPERATE.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO TEST BOTH
CURRENT AND VOLTAGE, OR RUN THE MOTOR
WITH KNOWN GOOD SHOP BATTERY OR POWER
SOURCE WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING.

LOCATED IN THE HARDWARE PACK IS THE VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS. THE HARNESS IS MANUFACTURED TO, AND COMPLIES WITH, THE
SAE J1128 REQUIREMENTS. THE WIRE HARNESS IS APPROXIMATELY 23 ft LONG AND WILL ACCOMMODATE MOST VEHICLES.
YOUR HEAVY DUTY HARNESS HAS BEEN LEFT UN-ASSEMBLED
FOR EASE OF INSTALLATION. THE END CONNECTOR HAS BEEN
INCLUDED SEPARATELY FROM THE HARNESS TO ALLOW
THE INSTALLER TO THE RUN THE WIRE UNDER AND THROUGH
THE VEHICLE WITH THE SMALLEST HOLE POSSIBLE. FOLLOW
THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSURE PROPER INSTALLATION.
UNWIND THE HARNESS AND LAY IT FLAT.
ONE END OF THE HARNESS HAS 2 COVERED PINS.
THIS IS THE LIFT END OF THE HARNESS AND
GOES TO THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE AND INSIDE
TO THE REAR CARGO AREA.
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 END.
RUN THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER OR WHEN POSSIBLE THROUGH
THE VEHICLE, BACK TO THE REAR CARGO AREA. ALWAYS LOCATE
THE WIRING WHERE IT CAN NOT BE SNAGGED BY ROAD DEBRIS AND
AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK.
THROUGH THE VEHICLE IS BEST FOR THE AL-600 SERIES, GAINING ENTRY
INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FIREWALL. HOWEVER IF YOU WISH
TO RUN THE HARNESS UNDER THE VEHICLE, A HOLE WILL MOST LIKELY
NEED TO BE DRILLED TO GET THE WIRE INTO THE REAR CARGO AREA.
IF THE HARNESS IS TOO LONG FOR THE VEHICLE, COIL THE
EXCESS WIRE AND SECURE IT TO THE VEHICLE FRAME
WITH SUPPLIED TIE WRAPS.
DO NOT CUT OR SHORTEN THE HARNESS.
ONCE THE HARNESS IS RUN INTO
THE VEHICLE, REMOVE PIN’S
PROTECTIVE TUBING.
INSPECT THE PIN’S RETAINING FLANGES.
THE MAY HAVE BECOME DEFORMED
WHILE RUNNING THEM THROUGH THE VEHICLE.
THESE ARE CRITICAL TO SECURE THE PINS INSIDE
THE END CONNECTOR. ADJUST AS NEEDED.
FLIP OPEN END CONNECTOR’S HINGED RETAINER.
INSERT PINS AS SHOWN:
VERIFY THE WIRES CAN NOT BE PULLED OUT
BY MODERATELY PULLING ON WIRE.
BE SURE WIRE SEALS ARE INSIDE CONNECTOR,
AND CLOSE THE END CONNECTOR’S HINGED RETAINER.
