WARNING:
Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than recommended by the vehicle

vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be determined by making sure the fuse
in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated higher than 10 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically
found in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it. The cause of the
overload must be found. On no account should fuses be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage
elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause fire.
