iMPORTANT:
Connect to a 12 volt power source only.
Insert the 1/2" x 2-3/4" hex bolt into the lower shaft of
the actuator and then screw a 1/2" hex lock nut as far
as possible onto the bolt. See figure 3.
Place up to five 1/2" flat washers between the anchor
brackets on the lift assembly and insert the end of
the 1/2" x 2-3/4" hex bolt through the anchor brackets
and the washers. Screw a second 1/2" hex lock nut
onto the bolt so that it is flush with the end of the bolt.
Screw the first nut back against the anchor brackets
and tighten both nuts securely. See figure 3.

To connect the switch to the tractor battery, attach
the terminal on the red wire (with fuse) to the positive
post of the battery and the terminal on the black wire
to the negative post of the battery.
Route the flexible conduit to the rear of the tractor
avoiding hot engine parts, moving parts and pinch
points. Connect the plug on the conduit wires to the
plug on the actuator wires.
On some tractors the switch can be permanently
attached to the tractor dash. If the battery is located
under the hood and you wish to attach the switch to
the tractor dash:
a. Determine if there is a location that provides
adequate clearance to mount the switch inside the
dash. Drill a 1/2" hole in that location. Do not drill
a hole larger than 1/2".
b. Remove the hex nut from the actuator switch
and then screw the round nut to about the mid-
point on the threads.
c. Insert the switch into the hole you drilled in the
tractor's dash and secure it with the hex nut you
removed from the switch.

brackets, securing it with the 3/32" hair cotter pin. See
