THE REMCO LUBE PUMP
REMCO’s Lube-Pump provides a proven, safe and reliable method of towing select front wheel
drive, rear wheel drive, four wheel drive, and all-wheel drive automatic transmission vehicles
behind your motor home with all four wheels on the ground. REMCO’s Lube Pump Systems
are Transmission dependent. Please make sure your vehicle is equipped with a Transmission that
has been approved by REMCOfor use with the Lube Pump. REMCO provides thepump system,
tail light system and all electrical connections. REMCO can provide the tow bar and brackets
for most vehicles.
A durable 1/8 horsepower self-priming pump provides effective lubrication of the towed vehicle’s
transmission while being towed. The pump is activated or deactivated when the electrical monitor
is switched on or off and the motor home’s ignition is in the ON position.
The motor home is connected to the towed vehicle with a single cable, which operates the pump,
monitor, and the towed vehicle’s taillights. When the cable is connected, the taillights, brake
lights, and turn signals of the towed vehicle are automatically controlled from the motor home.
When the cable is disconnected, the taillights, turn signals, and brake lights of the towed vehicle
operate normally.
In addition, a fail-safe electronic alarm system is built into the monitor, giving you a visual and
audible signal if for any reason your LUBE-PUMP is not delivering adequate lubrication. One
more unique feature of the alarm system is when you plug your towed vehicle into your motor
home, with the motor home ignition ON, the red light and alarm will operate until the monitor
switch is turned ON and the pump begins operating so you don’t drive down the road with the
pump off and in the process ruin your transmission.
The REMCO LUBE-PUMPis designed to give you maximum convenience and safety when the
system is properly installed. Please follow the installation instructions very carefully. Any
questions or problems, please call REMCO at 1-800-228-2481.
* * WARNING * *
SAFETY FIRST –Use caution when working on a vehicle. Do not get hands into fan belts or
other moving parts. Do not get under any vehicle that is supported by a jack only. Be sure vehicle
is properly blocked and supported by jack stands before getting under it.
CAUTION –An improperly installed LUBE-PUMP system can cause failure of the towed
vehicle’s transmission and other system components. All motor home electrical power used for
the monitor, pump, or towed vehicle’s taillights must be 12 volts DC. Bus type chassis may have
24-volt DC electrical system and will need to be converted to 12 volts DC. A 12-volt source must
be on the motor home to run the monitor, pump, and converter.

TOWED VEHICLE ELECTRICAL WIRING:
The REMCO LUBE PUMP KIT includes all wiring and electrical hardware needed to connect
the electronic monitor on the motor home dash panel and the LUBE PUMP in the towed vehicle.
The kit provides for the automatic control of the taillights and turn signals of the towed vehicle.
NOTE: Some motorhomes have amber turn signals and red brake lights which requires the use
of a tail light converter to change the wiring schematics. A tail light converter is not supplied with
this Taillight Wiring Kit. You can purchase them through your local provider or automotive parts
supplier.
Check the parts in the kit, against the parts list below, to familiarize yourself with each item and
to make sure none are missing.
For proper installation it is necessary for you to have available the following tools which are not
provided in the kit:
12 volt DC continuity tester
Small wire cutter, wire stripper, wire terminal crimper
Electrical tape
Screw driver
Electric drill, #7 drill bit, and 3/8nut driver bit

TOWED VEHICLE ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION:
Note 1: Towed Vehicle Electrical Installation should be conducted
after installer has properly plumbed Remco Lube Pump and
other Transmission related components (i.e. Port Fitting,
Drain Plug, and Selector Valve). Valve with Pressure Switch
on it must be properly plumbed before electrical connections
can be made.
NOTE 2: Carefully study the electrical schematic diagram, on page 10,to become
acquainted with the overall wiring plan and the circuitry.
NOTE 3: The coiled cable should rest on the tow bar if the sockets on both vehicles are either
opposite of each other or the sockets are mounted in the middle of both vehicles to
allow the cable to rest on the tow bar. Whichever way is used, the result will be the
same; to keep the cable from dragging on the ground. When the cable is not in use,
it should be disconnected from both vehicles and stored. The cable will keep its
coiled memory and last for many trips down the road.
Step 1. Two ¼” x ¾” self-tapping metal screws are provided to mount the socket bracket.
Make sure the socket is located high enough to provide curb and roadway clearance.
Step 2. Connect the 5 ft. length of white wire from the socket to a suitable chassis ground at
the front of the vehicle, not the frame. Normally, an existing screw or bolt can be
loosened to make this connection near the socket mounting. Trim the white wire to
a suitable length, strip back the insulation, and crimp a spade terminal to the end for
fastening to the screw or bolt. Make certain the terminal is crimped securely.
Moderately pull on the terminal to check. Check all terminals similarly when
installed.
Step 3. Run the 5 ft. long 2-conductor cable (red & black) from the socket, to the pressure
switch, which is integral part of the pressure switch assembly you have already
installed. Cut the 2-conductor cable to proper length, separate the wires back
approximately 3 inches and crimp a 1/4" female terminal onto each wire. Connect
one wire to each of the two blade connections on the pressure switch. Since polarity
is not critical, either wire can be connected to either terminal.

12
***Note***In some installations a Selector Valve will not be used, but another valve known
as a Pressure Switch assembly will be used instead and will be working in
conjunction with a check valve. If your Transmission requires the use of one of
these assemblies, then connect the red and black wires to the Pressure Switch
Assembly.
Step 4. Attach one end of the 5 ft. long red wire provided in the kit to the red wire of the 2-
conductor cable at the pressure switch using one of the self-stripping wiretap
connectors provided.
Step 5. Take the other end of the 5 ft. long red wire and route it to the lube pump then, cut
to length. Strip back the insulation on red wire and crimp on the ¼” male terminal
(provided). This will provide a ready connection with the female terminal already
installed on the red wire extending from the pump, which you have already installed.
Make sure the wires are kept clear of all moving parts and are not touching parts,
which become hot when the vehicle is driven. It is usually best to follow the same
paths as existing wiring under the vehicle’s hood.
Step 6. Connect the black wire extending from the pump to a nearby ground. Either loosen
an existing bolt or drill a hole and fasten the wire using one of the ¼” x ¾” self-
tapping metal screws provided in the kit.
INSTALLATION OF TAILLIGHT DIVERTERS
NOTE: Prior to installation, determine which taillight wiring system you have on the
towed vehicle: a 3- or 4-wire system. A 3-wire system has combined turn signals and
brakelights (redturnsignals).A 4-wiresystemhasseparate turn signalsand brakelights
(amber turn signals). If you have a 3 wire system, please refer to the
Three Wire Tail Light System Wiring Supplement - pg 23.
INSTALLATION OF TAILLIGHT DIVERTERS FOR 4-WIRE SYSTEMS
NOTE 1: This system uses all 4 diverters supplied in this kit.
NOTE 2: With some vehicles, the taillight assembly must be removed to gain access to the
taillight wires.

13
NOTE 3: The amber turn signals are not used, instead, the brake lights become the turn signals
and brake lights for towing only.
NOTE 4: Refer to electrical schematic, page 10, for steps listed below.
Step 1. Start at the driver sidetaillight assembly. Access the wires for the taillight assembly.
Step 2. Turn ON the taillights.
Step 3. Ground the continuity tester to a suitable ground.
Step 4. Probe each wire to locate a “HOT” wire. Turn OFF and ON the taillight switch to
verify the correct wire. Label the wire “LEFT TAILLIGHT”. Follow the same
procedure for the passenger side taillight assembly, but label the wire “RIGHT
TAILLIGHT”. Turn OFF the taillights.
Step 5. Have an assistant depress the brake pedal. Start at the driver side taillight assembly.
Probe each wire for a “HOT” wire. Have the assistant depress the brake pedal ON
and OFF to verify the correct wire. Label the wire “LEFT TURN/BRAKE”. For
the passenger side taillight assembly, follow the same procedure, but label the wire
“RIGHT TURN/BRAKE”.
Step 6. Refer to electrical schematic, page 10, return to the driver’s side taillight assembly.
Turn ON the taillights; locate the wire labeled “LEFT TAILLIGHT”. Cut the wire.
Confirm that the taillight goes OUT. Turn OFF taillights. Strip each wire ¼” crimp
a ¼” red female terminal onto each wire. Connect the wire that goes to the taillight
bulb to the “OUT” terminal of the diverter. Connect the remaining wire to either
“IN” terminal of the diverter. For the passenger side taillight assembly, locate the
wire labeled “RIGHT TAILLIGHT” and follow the same procedure as above.
Step 7. Return to the driver side taillight assembly. Have the assistant depress the brake
pedal. Locate the wire labeled “LEFT TURN/BRAKE”. Cut the wire. Confirm that
the brake light goes OUT. Strip each wire ¼”. Crimp a ¼” red female terminal onto
each wire. Connect the wire that goes to the brake light bulb to the “OUT” terminal
of the diverter. Connect the remaining wire to either “IN” terminal of the diverter.
For the passenger side taillight assembly, locate the wire labeled “RIGHT
TURN/BRAKE” and follow the same procedure as above.

14
INSTALLATION OF CONDUCTOR CABLE
NOTE 1: Refer to electrical schematic, page 10 for the following steps.
NOTE 2: For driver and passenger side conductor cable installation, two separate wires will
be routed between the driver side and passenger side taillight assembly, either inside
the trunk area or underneath the vehicle.
Step 1. Route the conductor cable from the socket underneath the vehicle along the
passenger side to the passenger side taillight assembly.
NOTE 3: At the taillights, eight feet of two conductor will be needed to run from driver side
to passenger side (not supplied).
Step 2. Separate the conductor cable wires sufficiently to attach the diverters. Strip each
wire ¼”. Crimp a ¼” blue female terminal onto the green conductor wire. Connect
the green conductor wire to the remaining “IN” terminal of the “RIGHT
TURN/BRAKE” diverter.
Step 3. Using a single, 10ga, ¼” yellow female terminal, crimp together the red wire from
the two conductor and the brown wire from the three conductor. Connect it to the
remaining “IN” terminal of the “RIGHT TAILLIGHT” diverter.
Step 4. Using a butt connector, crimp one side to the black wire of the two conductor and
the other side to the yellow wire of the three conductor. Extend the two conductor
to the driver side taillight assembly. Locate the left taillight diverter and connect the
red wire to it. Locate the “LEFT TURN/BRAKE” diverter and connect the black
wire to it.
Step 5. Test the lube pump, diverter, and conductor cable installation before the installation
of wiring harness on the motor home.

MOTOR HOME ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION:
For proper installation it is necessary for you to have available the following tools which are not
provided in the kit:
12 volt DC continuity tester
Small wire cutter, wire stripper, wire terminal crimper
Electrical tape
Screw driver
Electric drill, #7 drill bit, and 3/8nut driver bit
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL MONITOR
(REFERENCE PAGE 18 FOR SCHEMATIC)
NOTE: A quick-disconnect plug has been manufactured into the back of the Electrical
Monitor. This allows for easy replacement of the unit should it become necessary.
Simply unplug the harness from the back of the monitor.
Step 1. Select a suitable location for the Electronic Monitor on the dashboard of the motor
home. The location should be suitable for the driver to both hear and see the monitor.
Screws are provided for mounting (4 - #6 self-tapping screws).
NOTE: THE MONITOR IS A VITAL WARNING DEVICE TO PROTECT THE
TRANSMISSION OF YOUR TOWED VEHICLE SHOULD SOMETHING
GO WRONGWITHTHE LUBEPUMP SYSTEM. IT ISVERYIMPORTANT
THAT THE MONITOR BE MOUNTED IN A LOCATION THAT IS EASY
TO SEE AND HEAR IN CASE IT ALARMS. IF IT ALARMS, STOP THE
COACH IMMEDIATELY AND DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG OR YOU
WILL DAMAGE YOUR TRANSMISSION.
Step 2. Turn the ignition key of the motor home to the ON position. Use a 12 volt DC
continuity lamp tester to identify an appropriate accessory ignition terminal
connection at the motor home engine fuse box. Switch the ignition key OFF and
ON to make certain that the terminal is “HOT” only when the ignition key is turned
ON. Be sure no other accessories will be sharing this connection.
Step 3. Cut the fused orange wire from the monitor to an appropriate length. Strip the end
of the wire ¼” and crimp a male tab terminal onto the wire. Connect the orange wire
to the ignition terminal located in step 2.

16
Step 4. Cut the white wire to an appropriate length, strip the end of the wire ¼”, crimp a
seamed spade terminal onto the wire; attach the wire to a suitable ground as
previously described.
Step 5. Cut the heavy blue wire from the monitor to a suitable length, strip the wire ¼”,
crimp a 3/8” ring terminal onto the wire. Connect the terminal to the Start battery
or a battery solenoid only. Do not use fuse box or splice into a wire. (For 24-volt
DC systems find a constant 12-volt DC source of power.)
Step 6. The red and black wires of the monitor will be connected to the red and black wires
of the 2-conductor cable, after the 45-ft. conductor cable of the motorhome wiring
harness has been routed to the front of the motorhome.
INSTALLATION MOTOR HOME WIRE HARNESS ASSEMBLY
NOTE 1: Some motorhomes have amber turn signals and red brake lights which requires the
use of a tail light converter to change the wiring schematics. A tail light converter is
not supplied with this Taillight Wiring Kit. You can purchase them through your
local provider or automotive parts supplier.
NOTE 2: Carefully review the electrical schematic diagram on Page 18 to assure
understanding of the circuitry.
NOTE 3: As in the installation of the socket on the towed vehicle, be aware of exposure of the
socket to road damage. The coiled cable should rest on the tow bar if the sockets on
both vehicles are either opposite each other or the sockets are mounted in the middle
of both vehicles to allow the cable to rest on the tow bar. Whichever way is used,
the result will be the same –to keep the cable from dragging on the ground.
NOTE 4: Use normal precautions with all wiring in the motorhome to avoid sharp edges,
moving parts, and surfaces that become very hot from the vehicle being driven.
Step 1. Begin the installation by mounting the 6-conductor socket on or near the center of
the rear bumper (next to the towing ball) using the socket bracket and ¼” x ¾” self-
tapping metal screws provided.
NOTE 6: Use a number 7 drill bit to drill the holes for the self-tapping screws.
Step 2. Strip the end of the white wire extending from the socket ¼” and crimp on a seamed
spade terminal. Ground the white wire to a suitable nearby bolt or screw, or drill a
hole in an adjacent metal surface and use one of the ¼” x ¾” self-tapping metal
screws. Please don’t ground to any painted metal surface!

17
Step 3. Find the motor home taillight tow harness wires at the back of the motorhome
underneath the bumper.
Step 4. Have an assistant turn ON the taillights.
Step 5. Connect the continuity tester to a ground.
Step 6. Probe each wire for a “HOT” wire. Have an assistant turn OFF and ON the taillight
switch to verify the correct wire. Label the wire “TAILLIGHTS”. Turn OFF the
taillights.
Step 7. Have an assistant turn ON the left turn signal.
Step 8. Probe each wire for a “HOT” wire, watch for the tester to blink with turn signal to
verify the correct wire. Label the wire “LEFT TURN”. Follow the same procedure
for right turn signal and label the wire “RIGHT TURN”.
Step 9. If the motor home has separate turn signal and brake lights, have the assistant depress
the brake pedal, probe each of the remaining wires for a “HOT” wire. Label the wire
“BRAKES”.
Step 10. Use a wiretap connector provided in the kit to attach the brown conductor wire onto
the wire labeled “TAILLIGHTS”.
Step 11. Use a wiretap connector to attach the yellow conductor wire onto the wire labeled
“LEFT TURN”.
Step 12. Use a wiretap connector to attach the green conductor to the wire labeled “RIGHT
TURN”.
Step 13. Route the 45-ft. 2-conductor cable (black/red) under the motorhome (preferably
along the driver side frame rail) from the socket to the front of the motorhome.
Follow existing wires or other protected routes. Keep cable clear of parts, which are
moving or become hot. Securely attach the cable under the motor home to prevent
damage from road hazards. The use of wire loom to protect wires is preferred over
exposing wires to elements.
Step 14. Using 2 of the butt connectors (provided) connect the red and black wires of the
monitor to the red and black wires of the 2-conductor cable.

TESTING THE INSTALLATION
Step 1. To test the wiring just completed, first turn ON the ignition switch in the motor
home. If the monitor switch is in the OFF position, the monitor will remain mute.
Turn the monitor switch ON and an alarm tone will sound and the red light will
illuminate. When driving the motor home by itself (not towing), the monitor should
be in the OFF position.
Step 2. Test the wiring completed in the towed vehicle to the rear socket of the motor home
using the coiled cable provided. If the plug feels loose in the socket, the pins in the
socket can be spread with a slotted screwdriver so contact is tight.
Step 3. Turn ON the ignition switch in the motor home. If the monitor switch is in the OFF
position, the alarm tone and the red light will come on and remain on until the
monitor switch is turned on. Turn the monitor switch ON. The alarm tone and red
light should go OFF in 10-30 seconds as soon as the pump builds up pressure in the
transmission of the towed vehicle. At this point when the alarm tone and red light
go OFF, the green light should illuminate if the system is functioning correctly. If
the alarm tone and red light remain ON after 30 seconds, this indicates the pump is
not running or there is a wiring error. Recheck the circuitry to make certain all wires
are connected properly.
Step 4. Turn ON the taillights and left and right turn signals to confirm that each respective
light glows on the towed vehicle.
Step 5. This completes the installation and testing of the Motor Coach Side of Lube Pump
System.
NOTE: WHEN INSTALLATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE INSTALLER
NEEDS TO RETURN THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
TO THE END CUSTOMER. ALSO, THE WARRANTY CARD INCLUDED
IN THE BOOKLET NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO
REMCO INDUSTRIES.

TOWING CHECKLIST:
Make sure the tow bar, ball coupler and safety chains are all secured.
1. Make sure the ends of the coiled connector cable are securely plugged into the motorhome
socket and the towed car socket with the weight of the cable being supported by the tow
bar. The pins in the sockets can be spread to make better contact. You can wrap the coiled
cable around the tow bar to keep the cable secure while towing.
2. Turn the ignition switch of the towed vehicle to the “UNLOCKED” position to release the
steering wheel lock, if your vehicle has this feature.
3. Shift the transmission of the towed vehicle to neutral, “N,” and release the parking brake.
Turn the ignition switch back as far as you can. The key is now in the correct position for
towing. As long as the transmission is in “N,” the key cannot go into the locked position.
This will allow the front wheels to track behind the motorhome while towing and allow no
electricity to be drained from the battery. The only exceptions are in the NOTE below.
4. Lock the doors of the towed vehicle to prevent children or unauthorized persons from
operating the controls. This may require having a second key.
5. Connect your towed vehicle and start the motor home engine. The “Green Light” indicates
you are ready to travel. Do not tow unless the Green Light is illuminated.
NOTE: MANY CHRYSLER, GM, FORD, AND TOYOTA VEHICLES MAY HAVE TO
GO THRU THIS PROCEDURE: To tow and unlock the steering wheel on your vehicle, you
must put the ignition switch in the first position on the steering column. When you do this, the
odometer and transmission indicator will light up on the dashboard and could drain the power
from your battery while towing. To keep the battery from draining, open the hood and open the
fuse box and find the “memory” or “hazard” switch/fuse. Then pull the switch/fuse out approx.
¼” to disable the lights on the dashboard. After you have finished towing, simply open the hood,
open the fuse box, and push in the memory switch. Everything will be back to normal, with the
exception that the radio clock and stations will need to be reset.
HAPPY MOTORING!
