Installation Instructions for all Kits

1.  Before beginning, familiarize 

yourself with the steps to be 
taken and ensure all hardware, 
wiring, necessary terminals 
and tools are on hand.

2.  Disconnect vehicle battery 

ground cable before splicing 
or connecting the relay unit to 
avoid electrical shock or fire.

3.  The power relay unit should be 

mounted in a location which 
offers protection from harsh 
environments or contact with 
moving parts. An engine or 
cab compartment is suitable.

4.  Solder all electrical terminals 

to reduce electrical resistance 

and ensure a durable 
connection.

5.  Ensure all wires are routed 

in a manner to offer the best 
protection from contact with 
other moving parts which can 
lead to chaffing and shorting 
out of components.

6.  Use provided wire ‘zip-ties’ to 

secure wires to avoid vibration 
and movement - obtain more 
if needed.

7.  Where additional wire lengths 

may be needed, ensure the 
same gauge (AWG) and color 
(if possible) is used. Solder all 
connections and use shrink 

tubing to protect exposed 
wires. 

8.  Never operate power relay 

unit when there is no fuel in  
heated Racor product. This can 
permanently damage heater 
and related products and 
potentially start a fire.

9.  Follow 

Installation and Use 

Instructions

 provided with 

Racor products.

10. In event of a failed fuse, 

determine reason for failure 
before replacing.

11. Always disconnect power from 

the relay unit when servicing it 
or heated Racor products.
