Disconnecting or connecting the battery cables in the incorrect order can cause injury from electrical shock or
can damage the electrical system. Always disconnect the negative(-) battery cable first and connect it last.
CAUTION!
NOTE:
Prevent galvanic corrosion resulting from inadequate electrical power to the MerCathode system.
Avoid using switches in the system and ensure current is always available from the battery.
