wall. Install an electrical outlet box or mud ring
as required (not supplied).
b. Thread the switch wire through an access hole in
the appliance toward the outlet box. The brown
end stays in the engine, the black end goes out
to the wall switch.
c. If connected, disconnect the battery holder from
the receiver.
d. Pull out the receiver. You can remove the ignition
wire to improve access to the receiver.
e. Take the switch wire and plug the brown
connector into the receiver’s connection slot as
