Tip
•
Air bags are vital safety equipment. Never install equipment
in a way which will alter air bag wiring or interfere with air
bag deployment. Air bags must function properly in the
event of an accident.
•
For your protection, never use a power drill without safety
glasses or goggles. Debris or broken drill bits may cause
severe eye injuries, including blindness.
•
Use electrical tape to insulate the ends of all wires, even if
not used. Proper insulation prevents arcs, shocks and fires.
•
Do not disassemble or alter this equipment. Accidents, fires
or shocks may result.
•
Always replace fuses with fuses of identical capacity and
characteristics. Never use a higher-rated fuse than the
original. Using the wrong type of fuse may cause a fire or
severe damage.
•
Do not modify this system for use other than that specified
herein. Also, do not deviate from the installation procedures
described herein; Eclipse will not be held liable for damages
including, but not limited to serious injury, death or property
damage resulting from installations that enable unintended
operation.
•
This equipment requires 12V DC and should only be
installed in a vehicle with a 12V negative earth electrical
system. Any other installation may cause a fire or other
severe damage to the equipment and the vehicle.
•
When installing equipment, do not remove or alter existing
vehicle fasteners, including nuts, bolts, screws, clips, and
fittings. Never detach, move or alter existing vehicle wiring,
including electrical grounds and straps. Alteration of existing
vehicle components may make the vehicle unsafe to
operate.
•
Before installation, remove the negative
battery terminal
to prevent shocks, electrical arcing, fires, and damage to
vehicle wiring and the equipment you are installing.
•
Secure wiring with tape or plastic ties so that wires do not
interfere with vehicle operation, including brake pedal, gear
shifter and steering. Position wires so that they will not be
rubbed, abraded, or damaged by moving vehicle
components, including power seats.
•
To avoid equipment and vehicle damage, including fire,
never supply power to installed equipment in a way which
will overload the capacity of an existing vehicle circuit.
Never leave a power supply wire or connection uninsulated.
Always install supplied fuses, circuit breakers, and relays
•
Do not block the fan, heat sink or vents for this unit. When
fan, heat sink or vent are blocked, the interior overheats,
and fires may result.
•
Connect as specified in the installation manual. If not
connected normally, fires or accidents may result.
•
When installing in vehicles equipped with air bags, check
the manufacturer's cautions regarding operation before
operating. Airbags may not operate properly.
•
Carry out the wiring such that cords are not pinched by
movable parts such as seat rails, and screw parts of the
vehicle body. Accidents, fires and shocks may result from
disconnection and electrical shorts.
•
Carry out the wiring such that the cord does not make
contact with metal parts. The cord may be damaged by
contact with metal parts, resulting in fire and shocks.
•
Avoid hot surfaces when wiring equipment. High
temperatures may damage wiring, causing shorts, arcing
and fires.
•
When changing the installation location for this equipment,
please consult the dealer where you bought it for safety
reasons. Expertise is necessary for removal and
installation.
•
Wiring and installing this equipment requires expertise and
experience. Professional installation is recommended.
Consult with your dealer or a professional installer. Incorrect
wiring may damage the equipment or interfere with safe
vehicle operation.
•
Use only the accessory parts as specified. Using other parts
may cause damage to the equipment or cause parts to fall
or fly off the equipment.
•
Do not install the unit in places where it may get dew
condensation on (around the air conditioning hose, etc.),
come in contact with water, or in conditions of high
moisture, dust or oily smoke. If water, moisture, dust or oily
smoke enters this unit, smoke, fires or malfunctions may
result.
•
Avoid installing in places where it cannot be fastened
securely or where there are strong vibrations. Also, if you
installed the unit with double-sided tape, first wipe away dirt
and wax from the installation area. Otherwise, the unit may
come loose due to vibration while driving, causing problems
for driving and resulting in traffic accidents or injuries.
•
Do not install in places with direct sunlight or where it will be
hit directly by hot air from the heater. This may increase the
temperature of the interior of this equipment, resulting in
fires and malfunctions.
