Hard Top/Soft Top Pull-Down

SOFT TOP PULL DOWN

Battery voltage is applied at all times to the Hard Top/Soft Top Pull-Down Unit through Circuit Breaker 24 and the YEL/BLK (560) wire. When the Pull-Down Latch is fully extended, the Pull-Down Switches (see schematic) will be in position 2 and voltage will be applied through the Motor and BLK/WHT (739) wire to the Pull-Down Latch. When the Soft Top Hook is engaged with the Pull-Down Latch, the circuit is grounded through the Soft Top Hook. The Motor runs and pulls the Soft Top Hook down until the Pull-Down Switches move to position 1 and the Top Hook Position Switch opens. With the Pull-Down Switches in position 1 and the Top Hook Position Switch open, there is no path to ground for the Motor.

When the Soft Top is open, the Soft Top Release Lever is pulled to release the Soft Top Hook and the Top Hook Position Switch will close allowing voltage to be applied across the Motor in the opposite direction. The motor is then grounded through the Top Hook Position Switch, BLK (1500) wire and the Soft Top Position Switch. The Motor runs to drive the Pull-Down Latch upward until the Pull-Down Switches move to position 2.

HARD TOP PULL-DOWN

The Hard Top Hook is not grounded, therefore the Hard Top Pull-Down Switch must be used to pull down the Hard Top. When the Pull-Down Latch is fully extended, the Pull-Down Switches (see schematic) will be in position 2. Voltage is applied through the Motor and the BLK/WHT (739) wire to terminal 1 of the Hard Top Pull-Down Switch. When the Hard Top Pull-Down Switch is moved to the DOWN position, the circuit is grounded through the BLK (1500) wire to G300 and the Motor runs to pull the Hard Top Hook down until the Pull-Down Switches move to position 1. With the Pull-Down Switches in position 1 and the Top Hook Position Switch closed (see schematic), the Pull-Down Latch can be driven up by moving the Hard Top Pull-Down Switch to the UP position. This grounds the Motor and the Motor runs to drive the Pull-Down Latch upward until the Pull-Down Switches move to position 2.
