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.
