Note: Be sure to follow local electrical codes when choosing wiring materials and when routing
electrical wires.

Connecting Motors to Main Power
1) Run the main power line out to SideWinders® and make the wire connections to the motor
wires inside the Junction Boxes.

Note: Make sure electrical box penetrations are made with an approved method for wet

conditions. A proper cord grip should be used and installed correctly and a drip loop on
incoming cables is recommended to avoid any water intrusion.

Note: The electrical connections are made with either heat shrink butt splices or dielectric grease
wire nuts.

2) When everything is wired properly, close and seal the Junction Boxes be cautious to not
crimp down on any of the wires.
3) Test to see if the SideWinders® are functioning properly by using the Controller to turn on
each of the SideWinders®.
