Swint
LED LIGHTS
Instructions. Please finish reading through these
instructions before installation.
1) Your bike needs
to be clean and cooled off before you begin installation.
The 3-M tape will not work property on a dirty surface. In
making this product we stressed for it to be simple, safe
and complete. But, it still requires your common sense. You
should plan out the placement of your complete system before
you mount with tape and ties. Remember these lights are for
display purposes. Please check local laws and follow them
when using our product.
2) Inventory your
kit. You should have 1 Swint Spine pre-wired harness, I package
of extensions and connectors, Zip-ties, and your lights. Lay
out all the pieces so you can see the complete kit. It will
help you understand the instructions.
3)
How does the Swint Spine work? The Swint Spine is designed
to connect to your bikes 12 volt battery. Do not splice this
system into anything. The Swint Spine's battery connections
are simple. The (Red) Positive-fuse line needs to be attached
to the battery's Positive connection. The C-design is for
easy addition to the battery post. The (Black) ground line
can then be added to the battery. The Switch has to be placed,
but save the mounting for last. You can use the 3-M tape that
is mounted on the switch. Try to mount it discretely on the
left side. This leaves the throttle hand free. The five light
connection "lines" are left. Notice the plugs are
female. The Swint Spine has no male plugs. Depending on where
you mount your lights will determine how these 5 lines spread
out on your bike. With good planning you can mount all your
lights with a minimum of pieces. Each of these 5 lines on
the Spine must be used. From there, the possible
ways of getting power to the lights with the Y and W connectors
and line extensions are endless.
4) The female plugs
on this whole system have the catch/release clip on it's top.
The male plug from a light, Y or W connector or a line extension
has a raised bevel on its "top" which works with
the catch/release of the female plug. The bottom of the female
plug is flat and the sides have notches carved out. It looks
like a box. If you compare this to a male plug from a light,
Y/W connector or line extension, the male plug looks like
a cobra's head, with side flares and the bottom having two
silver "fangs" showing. The top has a raised bevel
where the cobra's "nose" is. The sides have pinchers
where you hold the male plug with your fingers when working
with them. These two pinchers fit the slots on the sides of
the female plugs. To connect or disconnect these plugs with
your fingers, you hold the top and bottom of the female plug
and the sides of the male plug. If the tops of the plugs are
correctly lined up, the inside pins will fit together property.
This is important. You will hear a "click" when
the female and male connect together. It's important to push
down on the release and hold the male plug by the sides when
you disconnect them. Try it out on one of your extensions.
The pins are placed by machine, but if at anytime one of the
pins dislodge, push them back in with a small pointed object.
Remember, any work or connecting should be done with the light's
switched off.
