MOUNTING YOUR ELECTRA-STEER:
1. The square plate attached to the motor should be used as a platform in the mounting process. You
will have to determine how the unit is mounted to your frame.
2. The mounting holes on the square plate can be used as a template if you intend to design your own
mounting plate or bracket. Remember all rotational torque of the motor will be transmitted
through your mount
3. The shaft on the mount side of the motor is the INPUT SHAFT (This goes to your steering wheel)
4. The other shaft is your OUTPUT SHAFT (This goes to your steering gear or steering box).
5. The Splines on the OUTPUT & INPUT SHAFTS are UNIQUE to Unisteer Performance Products
(9/16-30) and we offer a wide range of U-Joint & Coupling combinations to match the shafts that you
are using. Call for applications & availability. DRILLING, WELDING, OR ALTERING THE INPUT
AND/OR OUTPUT SHAFTS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
WIRING YOUR ELECTRA-STEER KIT:
1. The heavy red wire needs to go to a constant positive 12 volts. We normally go to the battery but any
constant source will work.
Note: The 30 amp slow blow fuse needs to be installed in line with this wire to prevent damage or fire.
*Failure to do so may result in a short circuit or malfunction.
2. The heavy black wire needs to go to a constant ground. Again we prefer the battery but a good and
clean ground is fine.
*It is strongly suggested that all connections made be soldered & taped to insure integrity. Shrink
tube is also supplied to seal your connections.
3. The white wire gets a single spade connector put on it and is used for diagnostic purposes, so it
needs to stay in an accessible spot.
4. The purple or brown wire gets a single spade connector put on it and is used for diagnostic purposes
and also needs to stay in an accessible spot.
Note: the White & Purple or Brown wires are used for trouble code reading and clearing. They need to be
located in an accessible place. They do not get connected to anything.
5. The orange wire goes to one of the sides of the LED light.
6. The yellow and blue wire is not used for this application. It may be trimmed back and taped into the
harness.
7. The green wire is connected to a key on power source usually we use the ignition switch lead. The
other side of the LED also goes to this wire and may be spliced in anywhere in this wire.
8. Be sure to leave the orange wire and the green wire long enough to go through a hole in the dash
where you want the light located.
9. Make sure your connections are good and your hardware is tightened to spec and there is no binding
in your steering linkage.
10. Drill a ½ inch hole where you want the LED to be. Run your orange and green wires through the hole
and wire in your light. After your connection is made simply push the LED into the hole until it snaps
in place.
11. Install your steering wheel & be sure your wheels are straight and that you install your steering wheel
straight.
12. When you are done, you can turn the ignition key to the on position. The LED will light for about 5
seconds. This is a normal function. When the light goes out your steering should work. Verify that
nothing is binding and there is no trouble light. Each time the key is cycled the LED will light for the 5
seconds this is a prove out, and is normal.
