INSTALLATION – UNDER THE CAB 3-2

CABLE ROUTING

Routing the cables to the battery box is an important step.

1. Never suspend the

power inverter

cables to the truck’s cables or hoses.

2. Beware of exhaust pipes. Their heat could damage the cables.

3. Pay attention to metal parts with sharp edges; they could damage the cables.

1. Route the

power

inverter

cables to the battery

box. Fasten them securely to the chassis of the
cab using the metallic clips and self-drilling
screws included in the

CM installation kit.
