INSTALLATION OF FUEL LINES
!!!
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN THEIR
ENTIRETY PRIOR TO PROCEEDING.
!
The Vehicle fuel lines should NOT be spliced

DO
NOT configure the hoses in any location where
the hoses or vehicle could be damaged. Avoid

TRAILER FUEL TANK AND
FUEL LINE INSTALLATION
The following are recommendations for trailer
installations:
A. Strict compliance with all federal and state
laws must be maintained.
B. Use only fuel tanks that are manufactured
specifically for gasoline, have proper vented
filling caps, and outlet connections that are the
same size as the inlet and return connections on
the unit.
C.
DO NOT
install fuel tanks inside any type of
enclosed trailer or vehicle.
!
NEVER
carry gasoline or flammable materials
in an enclosed trailer or vehicle.
NEVER store any type of flammable material
in an enclosed trailer or vehicle.
D. Always mount fuel tanks where they will be
protected from any vehicle collision.
E. When installing fuel lines from the fuel tank
to the unit, use the proper size fuel line.
BATTERY CONNECTION
!
Explosive gases, Dangerous gases!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. To prevent acid
burns, avoid contact with skin, eyes and
clothing. Batteries also produce explosive
hydrogen gases while charging. To prevent fire
or explosion, charge batteries only in a well
ventilated area. Keep sparks, open flames, as
well as any other sources of ignition away from
batteries at all times. Remove all jewelry prior
to servicing batteries. Keep batteries out of the
reach of children.
Before disconnecting the negative (−) ground
cable, ensure that all switches are in the OFF
position. If ON, a spark could occur at the
ground connection terminal, which could cause
an explosion if hydrogen gas or gasoline vapors
are present. ALWAYS disconnect the negative
(−) terminal first.
A. Attach the red positive (+) battery cable from
the starter solenoid on the console to the
positive (+) terminal on the battery and tighten
down the nut.
B. Attach the black negative (−) battery cable
from the ground on the console to the negative
(−) terminal on the battery and tighten down the
nut.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
SAPPHIRE SCIENTIFIC, and many
government agencies, recommend that a fire
extinguisher rated for A, B, and C type fires be
installed into any commercial vehicle.
