WARNING: Ensure that the motor so-
lenoid and associated wiring will clear
any hood lift/spring mechanisms be-
fore installation.
IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten nuts on the
motor solenoid terminals. Over-tightening causes
premature solenoid failure. Refer to torque speci-
fications on the solenoid.
15. Select an area within 16 inches of the ve-
hicle battery for the motor solenoid. Using
the solenoid as a template, mark then drill
two 3/16 inch diameter holes and fasten the
solenoid with two 1/4" x 1/2" long self tap-
ping screws from the hardware bag in the
parts box. Connect the Black wire to one of
the small posts on the solenoid, connect the
Orange wire to the remaining small post,
polarity is not important.
16. Safely route the 10-pin circular connector
through the grill of the vehicle to a location
that will be easily accessible with the plow
attached.
17. Refer to drawing 6473. Install the under-
hood power cable by first connecting the
Black cable and the two Black wires from
the harness to the minus (-) post of the ve-
hicle's battery. Connect the Red (or Red
striped) cable to the motor solenoid. Route
the power cable to the grill near the 10-pin
connector.
Connect the red fused wire from the harness
and the 24 inch Red cable to the plus (+) ter-
minal of the battery or battery access post.
Connect the other end of the 24 inch Red
cable to the motor solenoid.
18. Remove the plug mount plate, kit from the
hardware bag in the parts box.
Refer to drawing 5295. Fasten the power
cable connector to the clamp by inserting
the #6 x 1" machine screw through the small
hole in the connector, then through the cen-
ter hole of the clamp. Secure the screw with
a #6 lock nut.
Fasten the clamp to the mount plate with
the two #10 x 1-1/2" machine screws and
#10 lock nuts supplied.
Mount the 10-pin circular connector to the
mount plate with four #6 x 1/2" screws and
lock nuts such that the tab on the connector
will be up, as shown.
Mount the 3-pin circular connector to the
mount plate with four #6 x 1/2 inch screws
and lock nuts such that the tab on the con-
nector will be up, as shown.
Assemble the mount plate and connector
covers to the vehicle grill with plastic ties.
