Electric Cable Connections
See illustrations on following page.
Connection guidelines:
• Use #2 gauge battery cable for all power
connections. Excess cable length can
result in a voltage drop causing poor hoist
performance.
• Minimize cable length where possible. When
cables longer than 10 feet (3m) are needed,
use size #0 cable.
• Route cables along protected areas to avoid
wear and damage.
• Use insulating boots on all exposed terminal
connections to prevent electrical shorting.
Slide terminal boots onto cables before
connecting cables to terminals.
• Use splice connectors to attach the motor
thermal-switch wires.
• Connect the F1, F2, A and ground cables
as shown for clockwise models. For
counterclockwise models, the F1 controller
terminal must be connected to the F2 motor
terminal, and the F2 controller terminal must
be connected to the F1 motor terminal.
• Make sure all electrical connections are
clean and tight.
• It is recommended that a power-cut off
switch be installed in an easily accessible
location. This will provide power shut-off
during servicing and act as an added safety
feature. Use a 300 amp switch.
• It is recommended that a 300 amp circuit
breaker be installed in the positive (+) cable
near the battery to protect against short
circuits.
WARN Industrial Hoists
CHEMICAL AND FIRE HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could
lead to severe injury or death.
• Never route electrical cables:
- Across any sharp edges.
- Through or near moving parts.
- Near parts that become hot.
