MOUNTING

1. Select a mounting location at the rear of the vehicle that will

permit the alarm’s sound to be unobstructed. Also, the

mounting location should provide protection from wet

conditions and possible impact to the alarm. The alarm‘s

front grill should be mounted facing the targeted hazard

area of the vehicle. Mount the alarm at an approximate

height of four (4) feet above ground level.

2. The alarm‘s L-type mounting configuration provides an easy

mounting and installation. Use the alarm’s mounting bracket

as template, mark one (1) hole location on each side of the

alarm and drill to size 3/16”.

3. Secure the alarm to the vehicle using the hardware provided.

4. The RED WIRE is spliced to the power wire of either the reverse

switch or back-up light using the splice connector provided. The

back-up light has the clear lens. To protect the vehicle from fire,

always use the in-line (1) amp fuse provided. Push the splice

connector onto the reverse switch wire or back-up light wire.

Insert the alarm’s red wire into the splice connector. Using pliers

press down the protruding metal tab into both wires. Rotate the

cover until it snaps closed.

terminal at the end of the alarm’s black wire by drilling a 1/8”

hole on any clean metal body surface. Use the screw provided

to secure the terminal. Be sure to clean the ground surface to

6. be free of rust and paint to assure a

good ground connection with the terminal.

6. NOTE: The back-up alarm must be wired as above Fig. A. If the

polarity is reversed, the alarm will not operate. This alarm must

have a good power connection and ground to work reliably. Use

18-gauge wire (minimum) to lengthen wire leads if required.

Make sure that all wires are secured and inspect to ensure that

they will not interfere with vehicles operation. Always make sure

that any wiring is in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s

recommendations.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR

HEAVY DUTY BACK-UP ALARM

MODEL BA-550, BA-597 & BA-5107 12-48 Volt

The addition of Wolo’s Heavy Duty Back-Up Alarm will provide a warning sound when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The Wolo name

is your guarantee of a superior product. Back-up alarms are designed to provide a warning sound to alert people of the hazardous

condition of a vehicle being operated in reverse. People’s lives depend on proper installation of this alarm. Make sure the person that is

installing this alarm reads, understands and follows these instructions.

The Wolo back-up alarm will automatically turn on with a powerful beeping sound when the vehicle is placed in reverse, at an operating

voltage of 12-48 volts. Never install the alarm in a confined area, doing such will reduce the decibel level and the alarm will not have the

powerful warning sound needed to alert people that the vehicle is being driven in reverse. Never spray paint, undercoating, etc. into the

alarm’s front grill. Doing such could impair the sound level system. IMPORTANT: Operation of a vehicle in a noisy environment may

require a louder back-up warning alarm. Always install a back-up alarm that is louder than the surrounding noise.

The back-up alarm is designed for heavy-duty commercial use. Inspect the vehicle’s back-up alarm system every day before operating

vehicle. This back-up alarm should be used for BACK-UP warning operation only. The sound of this alarm is generally recognized as a

warning for a vehicle that is being driven in reverse. Operating a machine or vehicle with an inoperative back-up alarm system, could

endanger lives and or property. Never operate machine or vehicle if the alarm is not functioning properly. Affix the warning label provided

to dashboard in plain view of an operator.
