Installation Instructions

1. Plan the routing path.
2. Loosely secure power cables along path.
3. Confirm power cables are protected from sharp edges, heat and moving parts.  Consider chassis

flex and vibration which might damage cable.

4. Carefully inspect electrical cable routing.  Zip tie and secure electrical cables.  Zip ties should be

snug, but not cutting into wire insulation.  Use electrical tape, pieces of rubber hose or electrical
conduit to protect electrical cables and wire harness where needed to avoid electrical cable
insulation wear or abrasion.

5. FIRST attach red (positive) battery cable, then black (negative) battery cable.  Install boots as

appropriate to protect connections.

ALWAYS route battery cables along a path that allows the cables to be secured with zip ties. 
Loose or unsecured power cables can cause serious injury or death.
