NOTES AND WARNINGS 

 

 

Never reverse polarity on battery cables. 

 

NEVER chassis ground the 

sPOD’s 

negative battery cable. Always attach both 
positive and negative accessory wires to 
the sPOD. 

 

Any modifications to any of the sPOD wire 
harnesses will void the warranty.  

 

Although the sPOD system is weather 
proof, do not submerge in water. Do not 
spray cleaner onto unit or into any 
openings. Always use a soft towel or cloth 
for cleaning purposes and or compressed 
air to dry. 

 

System will shut down when voltage drops 
to 11.2 V (2 minute delay) and requires 12.8 
V to reinitialize (start engine). 

 

Do not tamper, open or remove any 
factory-installed components; this will void 
the warranty.  

 

Do not replace 2 amp fuse with any other 
rated fuse; this will void the warranty.

 

 

 

Do not attach any additional electrical 
accessories to the battery terminals on the 
Bantam; this will void the warranty. 

 

The Bantam does not require the use of 
Relays or Fuses unless the accesory 
attached draws more than 30AMPS 

 

The Bantam employs self healing circuits. 
In the event of a short/overload, the circuit 
will shut off. Correct the short/overload, 
then cycle the switch on and off to reset.
