Installation Manual

Note: Street Charger is a quality product and should be installed by a

professional or someone knowledgeable about electronics or wiring.

Treat the Street Charger as you would treat a car audio amplifier. Take

care to double check all your connections before operating the unit.

Wiring Kit consists of:

3’ of 8 ga. red wire with shielded ring terminal on each end (power out)

1’ of 8 ga. black wire with shielded ring terminal on each end (ground)

15’ of 8 ga. red wire with shielded ring terminal on one end (power wire)

15’ of 18 ga. green wire (trigger)

40 amp maxi fuse

5 self tap screws ½”

5 wire ties

8 ga. maxi fuse holder with shielded ring terminal on one end & butt connector on other end

Tools needed for proper installation:

Quality crimp tool

Screw gun

7/16” nut driver

Volt/ohm meter

(If you don’t have these tools, borrow them from someone who does.)

Woochitronics strongly suggests owning a volt/ohm meter. It will not only be helpful in installing your

charger but also in maintaining and trouble shooting your hydraulic system in general.

Always disconnect the ground for your hydraulic batteries

before working on your system.

DO NOT connect any other wire but the output wire (OUT) to hydraulic battery bank.

Ground, power, and trigger cannot be connected to hydraulic battery bank.

These must run off your car’s electrical system.

*** ALWAYS remember to disconnect the OUTPUT wire of charger at the battery bank before

replacing the 15 amp fuse on charger. Failure to do so may cause damage to charger.

Be extremely careful not to short fuse against casing. ***

Installation Procedure

Street Charger comes with the

wiring kit already attached. Your Street Charger should look

like this.

Step 1:

Choose a clean location to mount Street Charger. Avoid areas where

dirt or oil settles or where charger may get wet. Do not mount charger

under hood. Treat your charger like you would treat an audio amplifier.

Once you have located your spot, use your screw gun and all 4 self-tap

screws to mount charger in standing position with Street Charger logo

facing up.

Step 2:

Connect ground (GND) (black wire) to the chassis of car using self-tap screw. DO

NOT ground to negative post of hydraulic battery bank. A good ground is extremely

important. Make sure to sand the area where the ground is attached to the chassis.

Step 3:

Connect the 8 ga. output wire (+OUT) to positive post of the battery that

goes to the solenoid. (If you have 2banks of batteries, you will also need

to bridge the two banks together by connecting the positives of the

batteries that go to the solenoids with the same gauge wire your system

is wired with. For example, if you have 4 batteries in series (48v) on

each side, you will also need to bridge the two banks together at the 48v

positives with same gauge wire the rest of your battery system is wired

with.) At this point, one or more of the high/med/low lights should come on.

Step 4:

Run the 18 ga. green TRIGGER wire to the front of the car. Connect wire to a circuit

in the fuse box which turns on and off with the ignition.

Step 5:

Run the 8 ga. power wire (+PWR) to car’s front battery. Trim wire to

proper length. Strip ¼” and crimp to fuse holder’s butt connector.

Connect fuse holder to car’s front battery. (Fuse should be no more than

12 inches from car battery.) This wire will probably spark when first

connected. Double check all connections before installing the 40 amp

maxi fuse. Reconnect ground for hydraulic batteries.

Step 6: Use the volt/ohm meter to test all connections.

Test #1: Touch black wire of voltmeter to car chassis to ground.

Touch red wire of voltmeter to +PWR post on Street Charger.

Meter should read 12 –14 volts.

Test #2:

Touch black wire of voltmeter to car chassis to

ground. Touch red wire of voltmeter to OUT post on

Street Charger. This will show your hydraulic battery level. Start the car. Watch

voltmeter for battery level start to rise slowly. Green light should be on. One or

more of the charge lights should be on. If green light does not come on, check the green binding post

(trigger). If not reading 12 –14 volts, check connection at fuse box.

Step 7:

Congratulations! Now every time you drive your car, you’ll be charging your hydraulic batteries. One

thing to remember: If you have a ground quick disconnect, it must be connected for the

charger to work. If your batteries are not grounded, then the electricity cannot flow through them.
