Electrical Installation
10. Electrical Installation
1. Identify the power source from either the truck or the
connector at the front of the trailer on which your lift-
gate is to be installed.
2. Feed one end of the power cable through the strain
relief in the pump box (Figure 30).
3. Strip the protective rubber coating from the end of the
cable that's inside the pump box.
4. Install the cable end on the bare end of the cable and
crimp securely into place.
Failure to properly secure the cable and
may result in electrical overload which, if
not avoided, may result in electrical com-
ponent damage.
5. Connect the load end of the power cable as follows:
5a. For a pump box without batteries connect the
cable end to the power side of the motor start
solenoid (Figure 31).
5b. For a pump box with batteries connect the cable
end to the power side of the 150A circuit breaker
in the pump box (Figure 32).
6. Route the power cable along the underside of the
vehicle to the front and secure to cross members.
6a. For truck installations the cable needs to be long
enough to reach the vehicle battery.
6b. For trailer installations the cable needs to be long
enough to reach the connector.
