6. Locate the three green wires indicated in the following illustration. Two will be from the multi pin connector
plug and the third will be from the torch. Only two of these will be connected depending on which torch is being
used. Disconnect the two green wires at their connectors as shown.
NOTE:
In the next step you will be connecting wires. For a cleaner looking installation, make all connections behind the larger
number (bundle) of wires coming from the multi pin plug.
7. Refer to previous illustration: Locate the green wire with the yellow trace coming from Pin 9 of the multi pin
connector. (In the illustration this is the upper wire). Connect this wire to the green wire with a yellow trace on
the toggle switch. Now connect the remaining two from the toggle switch to the other two in the illustration. All
three of these wires in the illustration should now be connected to the toggle switch. Refer to the illustration at
the beginning of these instructions.
8. Mount the toggle switch bracket using the screws provided and the holes drilled previously. Be careful not to
over tighten while screwing into the plastic.
9. Place the toggle switch in the proper position for the type of torch being used.
10. Close the access door.
11. Reconnect the air and power to the system and verify operation.
