ELECTRICAL FITTING
As it is preferable to be able to operate the tail lift during mechanical fitting, the electrical wiring
should be carried out first.
2.1 Heavy Duty Electric
2.1.1
Single pole wiring – connecting power cable to battery
Disconnect the live terminal from the vehicle battery, crimp or solder a terminal lug to one end
of the heavy-duty electrical cable provided. Attach the terminal lug on the cable to the terminal
lug clamp bolt on the battery live terminal, but DO NOT reconnects the battery.
Check that the existing earth lead from the battery to the chassis is at least 40mm
and does not show any signs of wear. If the lead is smaller, or is worn, replace with a new lead of
at least 300-Amp capacity.
2.1.2
Insulated earth wiring; connecting to battery
Disconnect both terminals from the vehicle battery. The heavy-duty electrical cables provided
are in 2 equal lengths. Crimp or solder terminal lug to one end of each cable. Attach the terminal
lug on the cables to the terminal lug clamp bolts on the battery terminals. DO NOT reconnects
the battery.
2.1.3
Running the cables to the rear of the vehicle
Route cables neatly to the rear of the vehicle, ensuring the cables are:
a) Well supported, safe and not vulnerable.
b) At least 50mm (2 inch) away from any brake line.
c) Well away from exhaust pipe.
d) Securely clipped and free from any chafing hazard.
e) Protected when passing through any holes, by grommet the hole.
2.2 Light Duty Electric
2.2.1
Sitting and wiring controls
Route the cable to power unit. Connect the power unit and valves as shown in respective
diagrams, using crimp terminals and sleeves supplied.
2.2.2
3-Button-Remote-Control
2.2.2
When tail lift control is required from inside the vehicle body, 3-button-remote-control
are used: this simply plugs into the control station socket.
