Attaching the ATV Side Wiring Harness –
1. Using cable ties, or other means; loosely secure the 4 prong cable with split ends to the frame of the
tow vehicle. When securing the wiring harness to the tow vehicle make sure to avoid any areas of high
heat or pinch points to prevent any damage to the wiring harness. Make sure the 4 prong end is coming
out the back of the tow vehicle. See figure below for reference.

Figure!1!
2. Locate the two provided ring terminals, and secure them to the ends of the Black and White wires on
the end of the 4 prong cable. To secure the ring terminals, insert the wire into the open end of the ring
terminal. See Figure 2. Using either a pair of pliers, or a crimper; squeeze the blue cover down securing
the wires to the ring terminals. See figure below for reference.

Figure!2
3. Now secure the wires directly to the battery of the tow vehicle. Ensure that the Black wire is secured to
the positive side of the battery, and the white wire is secured to the negative side of the battery.
4. Once the wiring harness is secured to the battery the remainder of the wiring harness can be firmly
secured to the tow vehicle. Ensure that enough slack is left for the three prong connector to reach the front
of the tow vehicle, as well as some slack on the wires going to the battery.
If you are not comfortable working with electrical wiring, we strongly encourage you to seek the help of
someone with experience wiring.
**The electric actuator wiring harness must be hooked directly to the battery of a tow vehicle. Ensure
that when the electric actuator wiring harness is fully secured to the tow vehicle battery, that the black
wire is secured directly to the positive side, and that the white wire is secured directly to the negative
side.

**Grounding the electric actuator wiring harness to the frame of the tow vehicle may prevent the electric
actuator, or other components; from working properly. Always ground the wiring harness directly to the
tow vehicle battery.
**When securing the wiring harness to the tow vehicle avoid areas around any major heat zones such as:
Mufflers, Muffler pipes, radiators, exhaust manifolds, or other high heat areas on the tow vehicle.
**When securing the wiring harness to the tow vehicle avoid all pinch point areas such as: between the
seat of the tow vehicle and the frame, shocks, moving/pivoting parts, dump beds, doors, and other areas
where the wiring harness my become smashed, cut, ripped, or torn.
Assembling the Rocker Switch:
The Rocker switch may be attached at any time during the setup procedure. If working alone we
recommend installing the switch to the tow vehicle last, so that the switch may be used later in the
assembly process.
1. To assemble the rocker switch for mounting to the tow vehicle locate the bag containing the rocker
switch, bracket, and hardware. See figure below.

Figure!3
2. Attach the L shaped bracket to the rocker switch using the two elongated screws coming out the back
of the switch. Use a 7mm Socket and Wrench to secure the two black nuts to the screws.

3. Next, using the shortest of the three remaining screws, to attach the flat bracket to the center hole of the
L shaped bracket. Secure the bracket using one of the silver nuts and a 5/16” wrench along with a Phillips
head screw driver.

Once a spot has been determined for securing the rocker switch, the remainder of the switch can be
assembled. Ensure that the final location allows for some slack in the wiring harness to prevent
damage to the wiring harness during use.
4. Using one of the remaining screws loosely secure the remaining curved brackets to the flat bracket. The
curved brackets can be placed side by side, or the can be secured with the flat bracket between them. Use
a 5/16” wrench along with a Phillips head screwdriver, to secure the nut to the screw.
