#6-3141 ELECTRIC LIFT KIT FOR

TURF CRUISER / TRAIL CRUISER UTILITY VEHICLES SERIES 1

INTRODUCTION: This Electric Lift Kit was designed to assist the tilting of the cargo bed when dumping small

loads. This kit requires two adults to assemble and install.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt any adjustments, maintenance, repairs, or service with engine running. Stop engine. Engage

parking brake. Remove key. Remove spark plug wire and secure wire away from spark plug. Engine, muffler

and surrounding areas are extremely hot. Avoid serious burns; allow components to cool down before

installing kit. Replace worn or damaged parts prior to operating. Use approved fuel container. DO NOT smoke

near open fuel container. DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors or when engine is running. Allow engine to cool for at

least ten minutes before refilling. Make sure that fuel cap is tightened securely. Wipe off any spilled fuel before

starting engine.

• Carrying loads affects the handling, stability and braking of the machine. Improper loads, excessive speed,

sharp turns, rough ground, loose or slippery surfaces and slopes can cause loss of control, sliding and/or

tip-over accidents. Extra caution is required whenever the machine is used to carry loads. Raising a loaded

Cargo Bed can affect stability of the machine resulting in tip-over. Read, Understand and Follow instructions

and warnings in this manual, in the Operator’s manual and on the machine, engine and attachments. Failure

to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.

• Remove ignition key when working around or under a raised cargo bed.

• The operator and others must remain clear when raising or lowering the cargo bed.

• BEFORE DUMPING, STOP machine completely. Set parking brake. Release tailgate latches. LOOK and SEE

behind and down for children and others before and while dumping.

• DO NOT attempt to dump loads when on slopes.

• DO NOT attempt to dump into ravines, ditches or steep drop offs.

• DO NOT raise empty or loaded cargo bed when on slopes.

• DO NOT drive machine with cargo bed in a raised position.

STEP 1: Pull outward on the cargo bed latch lever,

located on the left side of the vehicle inside the bed lift

handle, to release the cargo bed. Once released, raise

the cargo bed, using the prop rod to secure the bed in

the fully raised position.

STEP 2: Position the stationary mount of the actuator

assembly #7-2641 inside the mounting bracket on the

vehicle frame cross member, with the actuator motor

facing up. See Figure 1. Secure with one 1/2-13 x 3”

bolt #9-1821 and one 1/2-13 locknut #9-1922. Do not over

tighten.

INSTRUCTION No. 1-1288 (I.R. 3/23/05)

STEP 3: Connect the actuator wire harness to the

machine wiring harness. See Figure 2.

STEP 4: With the tip of a flat-head screwdriver, remove

the plug covering the lift switch cutout in the control

console between the seats. See Figure 3.

FIGURE 3

STEP 5: Route the switch harness up through the

cutout. See Figure 4. NOTE: Removing the passenger

seat will allow easier access to the harness.

STEP 6: Plug the lift switch #1-1259 securely into the

terminal housing. See Figure 4. IMPORTANT: The tab

on the right rear of the terminal housing is designed to fit

into the matching hole in the right rear of the switch.

This safety feature prevents the switch from being

incorrectly installed.

STEP 7: Set the lift switch firmly into the cutout in the

control console. Also, apply the lift switch operation decal

#7-2687 as shown. See Figure 5. NOTE: Be sure to clean

the surface of the control console before applying the

decal.

FIGURE 5

STEP 8: Turn the vehicle’s key switch to the ‘RUN’

position, then move the lift switch into the ‘UP’ position.

The actuator rod should begin to extend.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the actuator rod is aimed up out

of the engine compartment. Carefully monitor the

operation of the actuator to avoid personal injury or

equipment damage.

Fully extend the actuator rod, then turn the vehicle’s key

switch to the ‘STOP’ position. Position the actuator rod

end inside the mounting bracket on the underside of the

cargo bed. Secure with one 1/2-13 x 3” bolt #9-1821

and one 1/2-13 nut #9-1922. Do not over tighten. See

Figure 6.

NOTE: The actuator rod should not reach the mounting

bracket with the cargo bed prop rod in the locked

position. With assistance, unlock the prop rod, and

carefully lower the bed until the actuator rod end is

properly aligned with the mounting bracket.

STEP 9: Remove the hardware securing the two striker

pin brackets to either side of the vehicle frame, and

remove the brackets. Also, remove both the upper hinge

bolt and the lower lock bolt from the prop rod, and

remove the prop rod from the vehicle. See Figure 8.

Store components for future use. IMPORTANT: Failure

to remove striker pin brackets and prop rod can result in

personal injury and/or equipment damage.

FIGURE 7

STEP 10: Check all connections and make sure

connectors are secure. Tighten all bolts and nuts, but do

not over tighten. Turn the vehicle’s key switch to the

“RUN” position. Move the lift switch to the “DOWN”

position, and the cargo bed should move down. Move

the lift switch to the “UP” position and the cargo bed

should move up. Move the switch “DOWN” and allow the

cargo bed to move down to its horizontal position. Turn

the ignition switch to the “STOP” position.
