engine control unit. Connect the weld
clamp to the component to be welded and
as close as possible to the welding point.
• NEVER connect the weld clamp to the
engine or in a manner which would allow
current to pass through a mounting
bracket.
• When welding is completed, reconnect the
leads to the alternator and engine control
unit prior to reconnecting the batteries.

Avoid serious injury or death.
ALWAYS ensure that all
connections are tightened to
specifications after repair is
made to the exhaust system.
All internal combustion engines create
carbon monoxide gas during operation and
special precautions are required to avoid
carbon monoxide poisioning.
