We do not carry that jack so I am unfamiliar with it specifically, but to wire an electric jack in general one of the wires will be powered from a battery mounted on the trailer that is maintained by your tow vehicle's 7-way while the other wire will be the ground wire. You can test the wires by connecting them to a battery before attaching them to the trailer wiring.
