1. Cut one in-line fuse wire to a maximum length of 12.00 in. (305 mm) and strip 0.50 in. (12 mm) from the
end.
2. Slide the heat shrink tubing onto the wire and position it away from the connection.
3. Securely crimp and solder the correct size ring terminal onto the wire.
4. Position the heat shrink tubing over the body of the terminal and the wire and then apply heat.
5. Cut the other end of the in-line fuse wire and the unit’s power
(2)
wire to appropriate lengths and strip
0.50 in. (12 mm) from the ends of each wire.
6. Slide the heat shrink tubing onto one wire and position it away from the connection.
7. Using the supplied butt splice connector, securely crimp and solder the two wires together.
8. Position the heat shrink tubing over the entire connection and then apply heat.
9. Attach the ring terminal onto the positive (+) battery lug and tighten securely.
10. Route and secure the in-line fuse to the vehicle or alongside the positive battery cable with the supplied
cable ties.
•
The in-line fuse should be positioned
vertically
to help promote water drainage.
•
Fuses mounted
horizontally
must have the slit in the sleeving pointing downwards.
IMPORTANT: Cable ties should be positioned within 5.00 in. (127 mm) on each side of fuse as shown and
no further than 10.00 in. (254 mm) apart.
