Figure 4 - Wiring Diagram
Refer to the wiring diagram shown in Figure 4 as
you follow the electrical connection instructions
below. Plan ahead by starting with long wires. All
wires must be a least No. 12 AWG and insulated.
The final length of the wires from the trailer,
including the connector, should be longer than
the safety chains.
( Note: Refer to Mounting, Item 8, Condition 2).
The trailer battery must be 12 volts and have
adequate capacity to meet all legal requirements of
the state in which the trailer will be towed. Use a
wet cell storage battery with a maximum rated
capacity of 100 amp-hours.
Solder connections are preferable for attaching
two wires together. If crimp-type connectors are
used, make sure they are crimped tightly. All such
connections should be taped with electrical tape
to prevent corrosion and short circuiting.
