WARNING!!!
Before making or breaking any electrical connections, please make sure to
read the following instructions on how to properly charge and discharge the capacitor.
Not following the charge / discharge instructions can lead to permanent damage to the
capacitor, which is not covered under the manufacturer warranty.
Charging
After mounting the capacitor in its final position, attach the ground to the ca-
pacitor and the chassis grounding location. Next hold the supplied bulb between the
(+) positive battery lead and the (+) positive terminal of the capacitor. If using a bulb, it
should light up for a short time (normally 15-30 seconds or so) and then go out. After
waiting for the capacitor to charge, remove the bulb or resistor and immediately attach
the power (+) cable to the capacitor. The best way to ensure the cap is charged best is
to keep the bulb attached until you touch the main power (+) wire to the capacitor, then
remove it.
