Equipment to Inspect Before Installation

Upper and Lower Hub LED Electrical Connections
The Upper Hub and Lower Hub on each SideWinder® have their own electrical Slip Ring and Wire
Harness to power the LEDs on the hub. All electrical connections: power cable to Slip Ring, Slip
Ring to Wire Harness and harness to LEDs need to be inspected. Each of these wire connections
must be secure, protected from water intrusion and have adequate clearance from the spinning hub
skins during operation.
1) Remove all the Hub Caps on the SideWinder® assemblies.
2) Remove one of the hub skins on the Upper and Lower Hubs on each SideWinder® to gain
access to the LED wire connections.

Helpful Hint
For ALL LED electrical connections do the following:
1.) Disconnect each and apply dielectric grease to receptor side
2.) Properly align and reconnect connectors
3.) Wrap connections with electrical tape

3) Disconnect each of the wire connections and apply dielectric grease to the receptor side of
the connector to help prevent water intrusion. Align the connectors properly and reconnect
the wires.

Note: When making the wire connections be sure to use the indicators to align them correctly; they
should go together easily. DO NOT force a connection it may bend the pins in the connector
which may result in some or all of the LEDs not working.

4) Wrap the connections with electrical tape to protect them from the car wash elements.
