Onboard Battery Installation

The optional onboard battery is designed for easy instal-
lation as it does not require any wires to be routed through
or under the vehicle.

Follow these steps to install the onboard battery:
1. Align the mounting holes in the battery case bracket

with those in the accessory bracket located under the
key switch tube. See figure 8.

2. Secure the battery case to the accessory bracket with

the supplied hardware. See figure 8.

3. Insert the onboard battery into the battery case, making

sure that the connector on the bottom of the battery
aligns and fully connects with the mating connector
inside the battery case.

4. Plug the battery cord on the bottom of the battery

case into the mating connector running from the mo-
tor. See figure 8.

NOTE: If your lift is equipped with an onboard battery, refer to “Onboard Battery Installation.”

6. Install the lift platform kit. Refer to the instructions supplied with the kit.

Wiring Harness Installation

The wiring harness is approximately 25 ft. (7.62 meters) long and will accommodate most vehicles.

NOTE: You may wish to perform a practice run before installing the wiring harness. Route a piece of
light rope (equivalent to the gage of the wiring harness) along the anticipated path observing contact
points, potential rubbing/chafing points, and any sharp edges. Remove sharp edges with a fine grade
file, then treat the steel with a rust inhibitor or metal sealant.

Follow these steps to route the Exterior Lift System wiring harness:
1. Route the lift system wiring harness (starting at the lift) through the interior of the vehicle until you reach the

vehicle battery. See figure 7. You will typically find pass through points at the rear lighting assemblies, which will
enable you to route the cable through the trunk and under the back seat.

2. Conceal the harness behind or under the interior panels of the vehicle (there should be existing holes). Be

certain that the harness is protected with a rubber grommet when passing it through the metal panels and into
the engine compartment.

3. Inside the engine compartment, secure the harness to the firewall and the inner fender with plastic wire ties. Use

care not to cause abrasions to the wiring harness. It is important to secure the wiring harness at various points
along its run of the vehicle.

WARNING! Do not cut or shorten the wiring harness. If the harness is too long, coil the

excess wire and secure it with plastic wire ties.

4. Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal and the black (grounding) wire to the negative (-)

terminal of the vehicle battery.

WARNING! Before operating the lift, inspect the wiring harness for proper routing and

grounding. Improper routing can cause damage to the harness, and improper grounding

can cause damage to the electrical system.
