Route heavy gauge wire from battery to tarp motor. Allow ample wire where
cutting and mounting connections take place. SEE Figure 1, box with hoist
and Figure 2, semi-trailer box, on page 4. Prepare wire ends for terminals,
heat shrink tubes and rubber boots.
Mount receiver to a rigid location at least 4
feet away from motor and other danger. With
terminals pointed down, use control box as
template to mark hole drilling locations. Use
bolts, nuts and washers to nish
mounting. Attach heavy gauge
wires to terminals on control box
as shown. Slide rubber boots over
terminals.
Attach heavy gauge wire to circuit breaker
as shown near positive post on battery.
Remember to seal with heat shrink rst
and slip wires through rubber circuit
breaker cover (not shown).

NOTE: This remote system requires a 50 amp modied reset circuit
breaker. If breaker trips and does not reset, it may have detected a
continuous short and will not reset until short is repaired. Disconnect
battery and repair short. The Receiver is also tted with an internal
breaker designed to trip rst. If this breaker trips the system will not
perform the same direction until the system has been reversed.
If installing this remote system on an existing unit, make sure there is a
circuit breaker installed and that it is operating properly. If breaker is missing
or malfunctioning, replace it with a correct new one. (50 amp modied reset

Battery Replacement
Your wireless remote is powered by two AAA 1.5V Alkaline Batteries. If
remote becomes unresponsive or if low battery indicator is ashing replace
batteries.
To change batteries, remove the battery cover exposing two batteries.
Replace both batteries with two of same brand and size. Reassemble battery
cover. Note: Use only new 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries. Since rechargeable
batteries run at 1.2-1.25V the system might mistakenly identify rechargeable
batteries as a low battery and might not work properly. Rechargeable
batteries are not recommended.

General Trouble Shooting
1. If system has a master control switch, make sure it is turned to “ON”
position.
2. Check all of the wiring components:
a. Check (+) and (-) wire connections on Vehicle Battery.
b. Check all wiring connections retighten and re-crimp if loose,
replace if corroded.
c. Check all wire for worn or bare spots.
3. Check Power Sources:
a. Check vehicle battery, charge or replace if required.
b. Check remote batteries replace with quality high capacity
batteries, make sure batteries are loaded correctly in the remote
and the terminals are clean.
4. Check for Physical damage to any equipment.
a. Repair or replace if required.
5. If system operates with toggle switch but not with remote (remote not
communicating with receiver)
a. Make sure remote is set to the correct mode. If remote
cannot be set to correct mode, reprogramming is needed, refer
to reprogramming portion of this manual.

13
1. System will not operate with
remote or toggle switch.
(Cannot hear a clicking noise
from receiver inside control
box.)
a. If system has a master control
switch, make sure it is turn to
“ON” position.
b. Verify correct wiring of system.
See wire schematic Page 5.
c. Auto circuit breaker may have
tripped. Wait several minutes
and try again. If it still does
not work circuit breaker may have
detected a continuous short and
short must be repaired. (Refer to
troubleshooting sequence on
Page 12.)
Trouble Shooting Receiver (Assuming Remote is working properly)
2. System will not operate
with remote or toggle switch.
(Can hear a clicking noise
from inside receiver control
box – but nothing happens.)
Problem Issue: Check or Try...
a. Verify there is a least 12 volts
coming into receiver on battery
hookup posts.
b. Verify there is at least 12 volts
coming out of motor terminals
on box while on/off switch is
being activated. If there are 12
volts coming into receiver and not
12 volts coming out problems
may be in receiver.
c. Verify there is at least 12 volts
at terminals on motor (use
caution around moving parts). If
there is 12 volts at the motor
and the motor still doesn’t turn,
the problem may be in the motor.
If there are 12 volts coming out
of receiver and not 12 volts going
into motor problem may be in
wire between receiver and motor.

14
3. Remote transmitter doesn’t
work. None of the lights turn
on when remote is turned on.
a. Check remote for dead batteries,
if batteries are dead replace with
new quality high capacity
batteries. Make sure batteries
are loaded correctly in remote
and terminals are clean. If
replacing batteries does not work,
problem may be in remote.
Trouble Shooting Remote (Assuming Receiver is working properly)
Problem Issue: Check or Try...
4. Remote transmitter doesn’t
work, batteries are good and
transmitter lights are working.
System operates with toggle
switch but not with (remote not
communicating with receiver.)
a. Make sure remote is set to
correct mode. If remote cannot be
set to correct mode,
reprogramming is needed
(see reprogramming portion of
instructions.)
b. Be sure to be within several feet
of receiver and try again. If
remote transmitter works at
short range by not long range,
replace batteries. If that doesn’t
work problem may be in remote.

15
5. The remote and toggle
switch will operate the motor,
but tarp motor turns freely
and tarp won’t move.
a. Check pin connections in shaft
between motor and tarp tube. If
missing, replace sheared bolt or
pin with new celvis pin.
b. Check tarp system for damaged
or misaligned parts and correct
as needed.
c. Make sure tarp is free from
obstrucion.

Problem Issue: Check or Try...
6. System will not operate with
toggle switch or with remote
transmitter (both working
properly). Motor engages but
stalls and system does not turn.
a. Check conditions and alignment
of system, ensure no broken
components or obstructions.
Refer to system’s owner’s
manual.
