capability of your solar powered EZ-Mount system. It includes a solar panel
and regulator circuit.
Note:
The Second Solar Panel is only for use with the EZ-Solar Power Kit 7707.

instructions.
Connecting the Cables
1. Open the EZ-Solar Power shelter
door using a flat head screwdriver.
2. Disconnect the red/white wire
from the positive (+) battery terminal.
3. Disconnect the black wires from
the negative (-) battery terminal.
4. Install the Y-terminal adapters on
the battery terminals. It is a tight
fit, so you might want to use pliers
to push the Y-terminal adapters onto the battery terminals.
5. Connect the red/white wires from the regulator to the Y-terminal adapter
on the positive (+) battery terminal.
6. Connect the black wires from the regulator to the Y-terminal adapter on the
negative (-) battery terminal.

bottom of the EZ-Solar Power Panel.
8. Run the EZ-Solar Second Panel power
cable up through the power panel vent
hole.
9. Press the power cable’s vent plug into
the vent hole until it locks into place.
