CAUTION

” is intended to alert the user to the

presence of important instructions. Failure to heed the instructions
can result in injury or unit damage.

CAUTION

: To prevent injury and damage to the unit, please read and follow the

instructions in this manual.We want you to have enjoyment from this
system, not a headache.

CAUTION

: If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a

qualified Rockford Fosgate technician.

CAUTION

: Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) and positive (+)

terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire and/or possible injury.

WARNING

: To prevent serious personal injury, fire and/or damage, ensure the capacitor

has been properly discharged before servicing the vehicle and/or system
components.

CAUTION

: Failure to observe the following safety precautions could result in damage

to the capacitor, vehicle and/or personal injury.

DO NOT

allow metal objects, such as screwdrivers or other tools, to touch both

capacitor terminals at the same time.The result may cause arcing and
possible fire.

DO NOT

use capacitor cells that have signs of damage, including cracks, leaks, or

swelling.

DO NOT

expose capacitor cells to flames, sparks or heat at any time.

DO NOT

immerse capacitor cells in water or allow water to come into contact with

them at any time.

DO NOT

remove the electrolyte filling bolt from the top of a capacitor cell at any

time.

DO NOT

connect the positive (+) wire from the battery to the negative (–) terminal

of the capacitor.

DO NOT

connect the negative (–) wire from the battery to the positive (+) terminal

of the capacitor.

DO NOT

make any connections to a capacitor if the connecting polarity cannot be

properly identified. Applying reversed polarity will damage capacitor cells.
