Step 5 - Install the Wiring

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH FROM EXPLOSION:
• Do NOT drill into gas tank.

• Verify the area is clear behind the mounting location before drilling.

• After determining the mounting location for the remote socket, drill

three holes and install. (See figure 5)

• Once the remote socket is mounted, route the two bullet terminal wires

back to where the control box will be mounted. Splice the end of the
red wire to a key controlled accessory circuit of the ATV. Using a test
light, locate a suitable wire from the ATV key switch (See Figure 6). The
wire should only have power when the key is in the “ON” position.

Place the supplied terminal boots on wires before securing to the control
box. All wires must be attached to the control box before mounting the
control box to the ATV.
• Connect one terminal (marked “M+” ) of control box to terminal positive

(+) of the motor with red cable.

• Connect one terminal (marked “M-” ) of control box to terminal negative

(-) of the motor with black cable.

• Connect one terminal (marked “B+” ) of control box to terminal positive

(+) of the battery with red cable.

• Connect one terminal (marked “B-” ) of control box to terminal negative

(-) of the battery with black cable.
