Installing the Power Supply

The set screw simply holds the elevating crank to the rotating base shaft.

TIP The pointer on the handle should point toward the back of the coach.

The power supply may be flush mounted in most standard electrical boxes. To flush mount, cut a hole in the wall to fit the box. Run two #12 wires between the wall plate and +12 VDC source, and route downlead cable to this location.

should fit into the grooves on the ceiling plate.

2Make 12 volt connection to the power supply. Install terminals on wires from +12 VDC source, and crimp the terminals with an appropriate crimping tool. If in doubt as to the polarity of the wires, connect them temporarily to the tabs, and press the “ON” switch on front of wall plate; if light comes on, polarity is correct. Turn power off.
