Warnings
ZAPCO highly recommends that a fuse or circuit breaker be placed
within 18" of the battery. Although products have adequate internal
protection, it is possible that a pinched power wire between the component
and the battery may result in a fire. The protection device should be placed
where it can be accessed easily and all wiring should be routed safely and
correctly according to the following guidelines:
Do not run wiring close to hot or spinning objects.
Always use wire grommets when routing wire through the firewall or
any other metal panels.
Make sure that the potential for pinched wiring is avoided by routing
all wires away from moving hinges and seats. This also includes brake, gas
and clutch pedals, hood and trunk hinges, etc.
Caution:
Continuous exposure to excessive sound pressure levels may
cause permanent hearing loss. ZAPCO strongly advises that you use
common sense when setting volume levels. If you experience ringing
in the ears, it could cause permanent hearing damage!
CAUTION!
When connecting our amplifiers to pre-wired stock speakers, care
must be taken that there are no common connections between left and right
speaker wires, i.e. minus to minus or plus to plus connections, as this will
cause the amplifier to go into immediate protection or may cause damage to
the amplifier. Output connections are not common chassis ground. Please
follow the hookup instructions in this owner’s manual. Any questions should
be directed to your local ZAPCO dealer or call us at 209-577-4268.
