Hydrolic tipper wiring - Page 2

Sorry got a bit busy this evening, but I d not think it really deserves a diagram,
If you are grounding the motor on the chassis, then you only need one long heavy lead (Starter motor size) from the battery pos terminal to an isolater switch best mounted through the back of the cab or similar with the removeable key switch in side, from there to the motor and this is the lower right hand bolt, with a good crimp on or solder spade terminal on the wire, all you need now is a board or similar with two sturdy push buttons, one marked "up" one "down", wire one side of each button with 2.5 mm flexible cable together and take it to earth/chassis/ground, the other side of the "Up" button goes the short lead on the left in the picture, the other side of the "Down" button goes to the longer lead on the right, no need for relays unless you plan to have a long wander lead for the button board, any questions please get back, Rick

Dont forget to fuse all of this and you may like to consider a couple of range of movement switches so it stops motoring when it reaches the end of the rams range (if it doesnt already have them) the reason for that isnt necessarily just stop it moving its a safety thing. im presuming thats an older power pack and hasnt been serviced for a while

so you dont know the state of the seals or the pressure relief valves

better to prevent than to try and cure it over pressurising and rupturing its little self if your running it on a simple on off push button system

Saw one of these style, a chunky dowty, blow and it was quite dramatic

Daved is right, I forgot those little points, if you are going to put limit switches on, then a relay on the UP wiring will be best, as the extra wiring length up the chassis and back will cause voltage drop on the reasonable current draw of the motor solenoid, and the possibility of wiring heating, you can get round that if you like by running say 6 mm cable, if you have lots kicking around great but if you need to buy it then a relay is better with the ability to run much lighter wires, Rick
