IMPORTANT
In order to ensure a high degree of reliability for many years to come, it is important that components such
as batteries, chargers, main current and earth cables, fuses and main switches are dimensioned correctly
and assembled with great accuracy. Insufficient battery power can permanently damage the electrical
components in the tail lift (solenoid, electric motor, solenoid valves, relay board/control board and more.)
Insufficient main power and/or ground cable area may result in overheating, poor performance of the elec-
trical system and shortened life expectancy of the main electrical components.
Earthing must not be made to anything other than the negative terminal of the battery. Risk of material
damage.
Always install a shrink hose over the cable connection when installing cable terminals.
Pay attention and be careful during all cable routing to ensure longer cable life and reduce the risk of un-
necessary downtime:
•
Cables must not be clamped to brake lines or the vehicle's normal electrical system.
•
The cable must be protected by rubber grommets when it passes through beams or walls.
•
Cables must be installed sufficiently far from, or be protected against, sharp edges so they cannot chafe
or otherwise sustain damage that could lead to a short-circuit and cable fires.
•
Take care not to bend cables to too tight a radius as this can cause damage.
