Battery to the Solenoid post labeled "BATT – ".
NOTE: After verifying fit, REMOVE connection from the
Battery until the rest of the system is wired.

Using the 8Ga Wire, (1)#10-8Ga Ring Terminal, (1)3/8"-

8Ga Ring Terminal, and (1)5/16"-24 Kepnut, connect the
Circuit Breaker to the "BATT +" post on the Solenoid. Do NOT
tighten at this time.

Using the 8Ga Wire, (1)#10-8Ga Ring Terminal and

(1)3/8"-8Ga Ring Terminal, connect the Circuit Breaker to the
Positive Post on the Battery

5. Installing the Motor Reversing Switch
A.

Using (2) 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" HHCS and flange nuts mount the

Switch Bracket and Switch to a desired location.

Using the included 14Ga wire and (4) Female, Push-On

Terminals, connect the outside terminals of the Switch to
the terminals T1 and T2 of the Solenoid

Use the 14Ga wire, (1) Female, Push-On Terminal and (1)

3/8"-14Ga Ring Terminal to connect the center terminal of
the Switch to the "BATT +" post on the Solenoid. (Loosen the
Kepnut already on the post, attach Ring Terminal and fully
tighten Kepnut)

6. Connecting the Battery and Testing
A.

Reconnect the Negative Wire to the battery post

Test operation of the Switch. If the direction is incorrect,

either change the wires on the back of the Gear Motor OR
switch the T1 and T2 connections to reverse the rotation.

Apply Dielectric grease to all electrical connections

Mount the Protective Cover on Solenoid by loosening the

nuts, sliding it on and then tighten to secure in place

Section 3 – Installing the Tarp Bow

1. Determine the Pivot Point (Fig. 3a)

To mark the pivot point on the other side, measure from

the back of the box to the first pivot point and transfer this
measurement to the other side.

2. Mounting Pivot Assemblies

A. Drill one ¾" hole 4-1/4" on each side of both pivot points.
This will give you two holes 8-1/2" apart for mounting the
Pivot Assemblies.
B. Using the included 5/8"-11 x 1-1/2" Bolts, Washers, and
Locknuts bolt the Pivot Assemblies to the box.
NOTE: Pivots are directional and must be mounted to their
correct sides. Grooves point toward ground. (See Fig. 3b).

3. Mounting the Lower Pivot Assemblies

A. Install the Components as shown in Fig. 3c.

Measure from Point A to the point on the side rail that

is approximately where the pivot point will be. Mark this
point(Point 1) and record it as Measurement A.

From Point B(where you want the tarp to end), use

Measurement A to mark this point(Point 2) on the rail.

Mark your pivot point at ½ the distance between Point 1

and Point 2.

4. Verify Fit of System

A. Rotate Lower Pivot Assemblies so they do not engage the
springs and can move freely (This will simplify verification
since you will not be working against the spring forces)
B. Insert the Corner Connectors into the Upper Arms.
Fasten by drilling a hole through the Upper Arm and Corner
Connector and bolting together using the supplied 5/16"-18 x
1-3/4" HHCS and Nylon Locking Nuts.
C. Insert one Upper Arm into a Lower Arm
