Main power cable, earth cable, main fuse and main switch
Main switch should always be mounted when cab switches (CS) are not used, for example when installing on
trailers. Main switches can also be installed in combination with cab switches (CS) if desired.
1. If the positive battery terminal is suitable for the main fuse of the lift, it can be used for mounting the fuse.
Otherwise, secure the fuse box in a suitable, well-protected position as close to the battery as possible.
2. When using the fuse box, route the main power cable from the battery to the fuse box. Prepare the cable
with cable terminals and shrink hose over the connections without connecting it. Connection is described
later in section 7.
3. On tail lifts with cable-mounted quick connector for its earth connection, connect the earth cable to the
quick connector.
4. Route/connect the tail lift earth cable to the negative terminal of the battery or to a well-protected earthing point.
When installing without main switch
5. On tail lifts with cable-mounted quick connector for its main power, connect the main power cable to the
quick connector.
6. Route the main power cable from the tail lift to the fuse box/battery plus terminal. Prepare the cable with a
cable terminal and shrink hose without connecting. Connection is described later in section 7.
IMPORTANT
!
Earth connection must be made primarily to the negative terminal of the battery. Alternatively, another well-protected
earthing point, which will not increase the voltage drop, can be used. The earthing point must be so well protected that
increased voltage drop due to oxidation over time can be eliminated. Risk of material damage. Warranty rights do not apply
to material damage caused by insufficient earthing.
