Installation Guidelines
These instructions detail tasks for various installation options.
Your tasks include:
• Route and install the gray battery power cable to the vehicle
battery terminals
• Install an in-line fuse holder
• Install the mounting hardware and vehicle dock
• Connect the black dock power cable to the vehicle dock and
the battery power cable. Depending on your installation, this
may simply involve connecting the keyed connector, or it may
involve cutting the connector off and wiring directly to the
fuse block.
Installation Tools Required
• Wire crimping and stripping tool
• An electric drill, #26 drill bit
• Common hand tools set of standard wrenches, flat blade
screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, wire cutter, utility knife, and
small punch.
Vehicle Electrical Considerations
Your vehicle’s electrical system must be in good working
condition.

8 Vehicle Dock Kit Installation Instructions
Installing the Vehicle Battery Power Cable
Use cable clamps or wire-ties at least every 46 cm (18 in) when
installing cables on a vehicle. This eliminates loose or sagging
cables, guards against breakage and ensures that they do not pose
a hazard to the vehicle operator or to other workers.
These instructions detail how to route the cable, install the
in-line fuse, and make the battery connection onto a side
terminal post or top terminal post type battery.
Decide the mounting location for the vehicle dock and the
cables. When you are certain your arrangement works and that
cables will reach from the batteries to the power converter to the
dock, proceed with these steps.
To install the gray vehicle battery power cable
1Route the gray battery power cable (P/N 236-106-00X) from
the vehicle dock toward the vehicle battery area.
2Cut the gray battery power cable near the battery allowing
enough length to reach the battery terminals.
3Strip the battery power cable jacket back 31-36 cm (12-14
in).
4Shorten the red wire of the gray battery power cable if desired.
5Strip 6.4 mm (0.25 in) of insulation from the red wire of the
gray battery power cable.
6Locate the fuse link assembly (P/N 236-107-001).
7Securely crimp the fuse link splice onto the red wire.
8Strip approximately 6.4 mm (0.25 in) of insulation from the
brown wire on the power cable.
9Crimp the 3/8" terminal ring onto this wire.
Note: Completely install the vehicle battery (gray)
cable that connects to the vehicle battery before
connecting the vehicle dock power (black) cable.

Connecting to the Side Battery Terminal
1Remove both battery terminal side post bolts from the vehicle
battery.
2Screw a 3/8" nut as far as it will go onto a 3/8" x1 1/2" post
furnished in kit.
3Slip a 3/8" washer onto the battery terminal post.
4Slide the positive (red wire) fuse link terminal ring from the
battery cable onto the positive (+) battery terminal post.
5Slip a second 3/8" washer onto the battery terminal post.
6Slide the vehicle positive battery cable onto the battery
terminal post.
7Thread the post assembly (Steps 2-6) into the positive battery
terminal. Tighten the battery terminal post securely.
8Tighten the nut installed in Step 2 to secure washers and
cables firmly in place.
It is very important to make sure that you make the
correct cable to battery connections, because
electrical energy from vehicle batteries can harm
equipment and people.

10 Vehicle Dock Kit Installation Instructions
Repeat Steps 2 through 8 for the negative (brown) wire from the
battery cable, hooking up the negative cables to the negative (-)
battery terminal.
Connecting to the Top Battery Terminal
1Remove the battery clamp posts from the vehicle battery
terminals.
2Replace the battery clamp posts removed in Step 1 with 5/16"
x1-1/2" posts and nut furnished in the installation kit.
Tighten nut securely.
3Slip a 3/8" washer onto the extended end of each battery
clamp bolt.
4Slide the positive (red wire) fuse link terminal ring from the
battery cable onto the positive (+) battery clamp bolt.
5Slip a second 3/8" washer onto the battery clamp bolt.
6Thread a second 3/8" nut onto the battery clamp bolt.
7Tighten the nut.
Because electrical energy from vehicle batteries can
harm equipment and people, it is very important to
make sure that you make the correct cable to
battery connections.
