WIRING THE VEHICLE

Improper wiring is the main cause of operation
problems with a vehicle lift. Follow the wiring
instructions with care. Installing a wiring harness
first will ensure there is power to the lift during the
installation process and allows the motor to do the
lifting for you. If you do not use a wiring harness, you
must use a battery pack. The vehicle's wiring harness
is located inside the hardware pack. The harness is
designed to comply with SAE J1128 requirements. It
is approximately 23' long and will accommodate most
vehicles.
1. Unwind the wiring harness and lay it flat. The lift
end of the harness has a black connector. This
black connector goes to the trailer hitch area
where the lift will mount. See Figure 4-1.

2. Start routing the wiring harness at the vehicle's
battery. Join the black wire to the negative
terminal on the battery. DO NOT attach the
red wire until the very end of the installation
process. See Figure 4-2.

NOTICE
NEVER attempt to connect the harness to a
secondary power source. Always connect both leads
directly to the battery. If the vehicle has a 12-volt
supply (for example, a pin connector or secondary
18-volt supply), it must be connected to battery
terminals. If you choose to use the battery pack, go
to page 14.
3. Route the vehicle harness under and, when
possible, through the vehicle back to the
bumper/trailer hitch area.
4. Route the wire under and through the vehicle
whenever possible, entering the vehicle through
the firewall.
