NOTE: Ensure the hitch bolt is tightened firmly before securing the nut to the hitch assembly to minimize the chance that the lift will tilt during transport.
5.Route the lift system wiring harness through the vehicle. Refer to “Wiring Harness Installation.”
WARNING! Prevent product damage! Route the wiring harness through the vehicle rather than under the vehicle to avoid coming in contact with sharp edges, extreme temperatures, moving parts, and roadway debris. Power shorts may occur if wires come in contact with hot exhaust parts or sharp edges.
WARNING! Never attach the wiring harness to a secondary power source. Do not attempt to use trailer wiring to power the lift system. The wiring harness must be connected directly to the vehicle battery.
6.Position the lift platform over the lift
7.Secure the lift platform to the
Wiring Harness Installation
The wiring harness is approximately 25 ft. (7.62 meters) long and will accommodate most vehicles.
NOTE: You may wish to perform a practice run before installing the wiring harness. Route a piece of light rope (equivalent to the gage of the wiring harness) along the anticipated path observing contact points, potential rubbing/chafing points, and any sharp edges. Remove sharp edges with a fine grade file, then treat the steel with a rust inhibitor or metal sealant.
