GENERAL INFORMATION The Purkeys Direct™ system improves the charging of liftgate batteries by utilizing a DC/DC Converter to boost the voltage for optimal charging. The boost in voltage overcomes the normal voltage drop caused by the extended distance between the liftgate batteries and the vehicle charging system.
MOUNTING THE DIRECT CONTROLLER Step 1: Mount the Direct Controller at the front of the trailer via the mounting holes on the mounting plate. Direct Controller Mounting Complete.

Step 5: Solder the crimped connection, then position the heat shrink over the crimps and apply heat to the 2 terminals. Note: Place the cable clamps along the 7-way aux harness every 6 inches to ensure proper support for the cable. Avoid sharp edges and possible chaffing points.
• Ensure the 7-way or stinger cord has a tight fit and has good electrical contact at the tractor and trailer receptacles. Figure 1: 7-Way Nosebox SERVICE TIP - Purkeys offers the Liftgate Double Check tool, which can simplify the diagnosis of liftgate charging system problems caused by excessive voltage drop.
