Quick Guide from the Manual

This document provides installation instructions for the KFI 106180-APH V Plow Hand Remote. It covers wiring, mounting the panel plug, and connecting the system to your winch and battery.

Kit Components

• 1: Hand Remote (ACT-VHR)
• 2: Hand Remote Harness (ACT-HR-HAR)
• 3: Main Actuator Harness (ACT-HAR) - 2 included

Installation Instructions

1. Connect the Red and Black wires from the Main Actuator Harnesses (3A and 3B) to the battery. Connect Red to the Positive (+) terminal and Black to the Negative (-) terminal.
2. Splice the end of the red wire from the Hand Remote Harness (2) into a power source controlled by the ignition (Keyed Power). Use a test light to identify a wire that receives power only when the key is in the ON position.
3. Connect the green and black wires on the Hand Remote Harness (2) to the green and black wires on the winch contactor. Connect the white wire to the negative (-) post on the contactor.
4. Connect the Brown and Yellow wires from the Hand Remote Harness (2) to the Main Actuator Harness (3A): Brown (Female) to Brown (Male) and Yellow (Male) to Yellow (Female).
5. Connect the Purple and Orange wires from the Hand Remote Harness (2) to the Main Actuator Harness (3B): Purple (Female) to Brown (Male) and Orange (Male) to Yellow (Female).
6. Choose a location to mount the 8-pin panel plug on the Hand Remote Harness (2). Drill a 3/4" (19mm) hole. Secure the plug using the supplied screws, being careful not to overtighten.
7. Mount the relays in a clean, dry location with sufficient clearance from metal components. Secure with zip ties or self-tapping screws.
8. Use zip ties to secure the dust covers on the Main Actuator Harnesses (3A and 3B) to the front of the machine.

Wiring and Electrical Connections

Note that your winch switch or contactor may have different colors or connections. On the Hand Remote Harness (ACT-HR-HAR), the standard color coding is: Green = Winch IN, Black = Winch OUT, White = Ground, and Red = Keyed Power. If you are using a non-KFI winch, use the provided connectors to tap into the IN and OUT wires on the winch contactor.

The Hand Remote Harness has extra connection points for additional switches. If these connections are not used, wrap the ends in electrical tape.

Maintenance and Storage

When the Hand Remote (1) is not in use, always cover the panel plug on the Hand Remote Harness (2) with the dust cover to keep it clean. Store the Hand Remote in a safe location.
