1.0 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Before installing the gas system, disconnect the battery earth cable (unless specifi ed to the con-
trary by the car maker).
Attention: this may delete the car radio and telephone memories and jam the centralised door
locking and anti-theft systems. In this case, you may connect the battery temporarily.
•
Always smooth holes after drilling and apply anti-rust to the edges.
•
Apply silicon to each cable through-hole to prevent water from entering the interior.
•
Install the control unit as far away as possible from areas where water could infi ltrate, far away
from heat sources (e.g.: exhaust manifolds), far away from high-voltage cables and, wherever
possible, with the connector pointing downwards.
•
If the fuse blows, do not replace it with one of a higher current rating.
•
Do not attempt to open the control unit as this could cause irreparable damage. LOVATO decli-
nes all liability for injury to people or damage to property should its equipment be tampered with.
In this event the warranty shall also be invalidated.
•
Always make electrical connections using the relative joints or soft solder them to prevent the
formation of false contacts.
•
Always observe the current laws and/or regulations in the State where the LPG system is moun-
ted.
•
Remember that, as per the relative standards, all the assembly instructions refer to the driving
position.
•
Before mounting the electronic control unit, make sure the relative fuses are disconnected.
•
Do not wash the engine after installation.
