Installing the Electric Bed Lift
The hardware needed for this installation is included
with the electric bed lift kit.
1. Remove the clevis pins and cotter pins securing the
mounting assemblies to the bed lift unit for ease of
installation. See Figure 1-1 and 1-2 for Clevis pin
identification and location.
2. Mount the upper bed lift assembly plate to the
bottom of the utility vehicle’s bed as seen in Figure
1-1. Use the 4 self-tapping 3/8-16 screws included
with the bed lift kit.
NOTE: The wider flange on the upper bed lift assembly
faces towards the front of the utility vehicle.
3. Attach the bottom bed lift assembly plate to the bot-
tom frame of the utility vehicle as seen in Figure 1-2.
Use two 1/2-13 x 1.25 bolts with two 1/2-13 lock nuts
to secure the lower portion of the assembly plate to
the vehicle’s lower frame. Insert the bolts through the
holes provided.
4. Mount the top portion of the lower bed lift assembly
plate to the cross-member of the frame in the holes
provided and shown in Figure 1-2. Use four 5/16-18 x
1.00 bolts and flat washers provided and secure with
four 5/16-18 hex lock nuts.
5. Remove the bed lift latch handle before attempting to
operate the electric bed lift. Remove cotter pin and
latch spring, then slide bed latch out, along with the
washer and two spacers. Retain hardware in safe
location in case of future needs. See Figure 1-3.
NOTE: The bed damper may be removed as well, but it
is not mandatory and will not affect the operation of your
electric bed lift accessory.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate the electric bed
lift without first removing the bed lift latch handle. Failure
to do so will result is serious damage to your accessory.
6. Install the electric bed lift motor to the bottom bed lift
assembly plate by inserting the clevis pin and cotter
pins into the mounting assembly. See Figure 1-2. Do
not attempt to attach the top of the motor unit to the
bottom of the bed at this time.

7. Install the bed lift switch included with this kit into the
dashboard. First, remove a dash plug. Then push in
and click the switch into place. The upper left position
is recommended, however this is not mandatory. Any
available position may be used. See Figure 1-4.
8. Plug the dash-mounted bed lift switch into the appro-
priate plug of the optional electric accessory harness
(39A-209-100). The bed lift plug can be identified by a
yellow/white wire, an orange wire and an orange/white
wire. See the electric accessory harness manual to
confirm the appropriate color coded plug.

ness accessory (39A-209-100) to complete installation of

9. Route the wire from the bed lift motor along the frame
and attach with the included tie straps as seen in
Figure 1-5.
NOTE: Be sure to leave enough slack in the wire to
account for when the bed is raised and lowered.
Then route the wire under and through the cross-
frame and secure with tie-strap as seen in Figure
1-5. Routing the wire under the cross-frame will
protect it from coming in contact with the muffler.
This is very important!
IMPORTANT: It is important to route the wire coming
from the bed lift motor properly
10. Once the optional electric accessory harness is
installed and plugged into the main wiring harness,
the wires already routed to the rear of the unit become
active. Plug these wires into the bed lift assembly.
11. Test the bed lift switch by pushing it up and down,
watch the bed lift motor to make sure that it is
operating.
12. Push the bed lift switch until the unit fully expands.
Stop as soon as it reaches its fully expanded
position. At this time, attach the bed lift motor to the
bottom of the utility vehicle’s bed by inserting the
clevis pin and securing it with a cotter pin.
NOTE: It may be necessary to move the bed up and
down with your hand to get the holes to line up so you
can insert the clevis pin.
13. Push the bed lift switch up or down to operate.
