ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

For normal self-recovery work, your existing electrical system is adequate. A fully charged battery and proper 
connections are essential. Run the vehicle engine during winching operations to keep battery charged.

Pay close attention to proper electrical cable connection as follows (refer to diagrams below):

1.  

Short red cable (A) with red jacket connecting to the red terminal (A) of the motor.

2.  

Short black cable with yellow jacket (B) connecting to the yellow terminal (B) of the motor.

3.  

Short black cable with blue jacket (C) connecting to the blue terminal (C) of the motor.

4.  

Thin black cable (Earth) connecting to bottom Earth Terminal of the motor.

5.

  

Long black cable (1.8m

)

 one terminal connecting to the bottom Earth Terminal of the motor, and the 

     

other terminal connecting to negative (-) terminal of the battery.

 

6.

  

Long red cable positive

7.

 

It is essential that the cables are correctly connected by an experienced person who understands the wiring 

connection procedure. Incorrect wiring may cause the solenoid unit to cease operating.

In such cases new solenoid replacements are available for purchase.

 (+) connecting to positive (+) terminal of the battery.

CAUTION:

1.  

Your battery must be kept in good condition.

2.  

Be sure battery cables are not drawn taught across any surfaces which could possibly damage them.

3.  

Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short.

4.  

Clean all connections especially in remote control switch and receptacle.

5.  

In salty environments use a silicone sealer to protect from corrosion.
