INSTALLATION
Mounting Control Box
• Using the mounting bracket as a guide (Figure A), find a good location to
mount the control box.*
• The ideal mounting of the box should allow for an unobstructed path for the
power wires, accessory wires, and the control harnesses.
• If you decide to drill, check the clearance behind the drilling location. Make
sure you are not going to drill through and damage any wiring harness and
components in the vehicle.
( Figure B )
There are two different mounting options provided within the HE-SWP8;
• Fix mount bracket. (Figure A) *
• Flush mount. (Figure B)
( Figure A )
*Note: Fix mount is the recommended mounting.
FIX MOUNT
• Using the control box as a guide (Figure B), find a good location to mount.**
• The ideal mounting of the box should allow for an unobstructed path for the
power wires, accessory wires, and the control harnesses.
• If you decide to drill, check the clearance behind the drilling location. Make
sure you are not going to drill through and damage any wiring harness and
components in the vehicle.
FLUSH MOUNT
Keep in mind the switch panel control wire is appropriately 9 feet long. Do not attempt to extend the control wire. Cutting and splicing may void the warranty and damage the product.
**Note: The bottom of the control box needs an unobstructed path for the wire to exit.
