Catalog Number PAV1200
WARNING:
Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating
higher than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 10
amperes from a 12V vehicle outlet. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can
supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be determined by
making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated higher than 10 amperes.
Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual. If
a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep on replacing it. The cause of the overload must
be found. On no account should fuses be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause
serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause fire.
