Electrical connection for CAP18
See the section “Installation Precautions” on page 2.
For safety, disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery prior to wiring.
For short-circuit protection, make sure a fuse (not included) is installed in line with the positive
battery terminal.
Make sure the ground wire is fastened on the ground point. Scrape away any paint, rust or dirt from
the ground point to provide a clean contact.
Use wires of proper gauge for connection. Consult an expert if in doubt about wire gauge selection.
Make sure wires are not squeezed or damaged by sharp edges. Securely connect all the cables and
properly insulate bare wires.
Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle battery only when all wire connections are correctly
and securely made.
Make all wiring connections as shown in the illustration below, but
do not connect the power cable from the
positive battery terminal to the capacitor positive terminal.
Make the positive terminal connection only after charging the capacitor. See the section “Charging the
capacitor” on page 7.
