INSTALLATION – UNDER THE CAB 3-6

BATTERIES – SECURING CABLES

To insure your safety:

1. The

power inverter

cables must be

attached with plastic ties to the other cables
on the top of the batteries.

2. If there is excess cable, do not cut it. It must

be wound on the top of the batteries and
also attached to the other cables.

It is preferable to never attach the fuse holder to a battery box wall. The safest location
is on top of the batteries.
