Step 1: First, install switch at desired location. This will determine what the
proper wire length should be.
Step 2: Run spreader/vehicle harness from the rear of vehicle to switch area.
Remove approx. 3'' of the black outer jacket exposing two single leads (red and
black), strip a 1/4'' o each lead. Crimp 1/4'' female connector on red lead and
crimp the butt connector to the black lead. Place the female spade/red wire to
the on/o switch and leave the black wire for the next step.
Step 3: Route the power harness from the battery to the switch; this will
determine proper length to cut wires. Repeat step #2 regarding cable jacketing
and connection points to the switch and butt connector.
Step 4: Install an inline 30 amp. fuse on the positive (red) lead from the battery
to the switch. Locate an easily accessible place, out of the elements, for the
fuse and remove approx. 3'' of the black outer jacket exposing two single leads
(red and black). Cut the red lead in half and strip a 1/4'' o each lead. Insert
into the fuse connector and crimp. Insert 30 amp. blade fuse into connector.
Step 5: At the battery end of the power harness, remove 8'' of the black outer jacket exposing two single leads
(red and black) strip 1/4” off each lead. Crimp a 3/8'' lug terminal to each lead and attach the red lead to the positive
side of the battery and the black lead to the negative side of the battery.
Step 6: Install rubber weatherproof boot on switch before finishing installation.
