After removing the A/C cover, set the SoftStartRV unit near the electrical box and unwind the wiring harness. Route the correct colored wires into the electrical box and to the compressor (see specific diagram instructions on the Support page).
Remove small, pre-cut piece of wire cover on end of wires. Crimp connectors onto ends of wires as indicated on your diagram

Connect the Black SoftStart wire to the terminal that the White Compressor wire was on.
Connect Yellow SoftStart wire on terminal next to Red Compressor wire on HERM Side of Run Capacitor.
IF you see a second Red wire (running from the Start Capacitor or another component) next to the Red Compressor wire on the Run Capacitor, disconnect it and seal end with electrical tape
Remove Compressor cap. Disconnect Blue Compressor wire and connect to Red SoftStart wire. Seal connection with black electrical tape.
Connect Brown SoftStart wire onto the terminal that the Blue Compressor wire was on. Route wire to exit cap with Red and White wires. Re-attach Compressor cap.

Using the adhesive strip on the back and/or the self-tapping fasteners, install the SoftStartRV unit with the wires at the bottom of the unit. If you have to install it at an angle, the wires should be angled toward the bottom.
Follow all installation and start-up instructions on your specific wiring diagram.
