wiring 3rd function power

[MinnesotaEric]

Installation instructions tell me to wire directly to battery. Seems high risk...a hat thrown over the lever or a child climbing on the tractor could fry my battery and/or solenoid. Late model L3901 Kubota... which circuit should I tap to get power only when "ignition" is on? Suggestions appreciated.

The working side of the relay wire in a fuse straight to battery. The control side of the relay go off of something switched with the ignition on like the radio or something. Fuse the control side with a 3 or 5amp fuse.

But it's switched. No power when the key is off.

Correct ,No power when key is off I just shut the power off if I have forks,bucket on in case you hit the switch its not trying to pressurize the lines.......

Yep. The OP is trying to figure out how to wire it so it's dead when the key is off.
