ELECTRICAL CONNECTION & FITTING TO THE TOWER
1. Run the cable selected (see Table 1) down the inside of the pole.
2. Select one of the 2 basic systems on page 14 and follow the manual
provided with the charge regulator selected.
3.
Fit the in-line fuse and fuse holder in the circuit where the HRS type or
no regulator is used.
It is essential that a charge fuse is fitted but note
that some Marlec controllers incorporate one negating the need for a
separate fuse.
Cut the fuse holder cable and strip back the ends to allow
connection in the circuit.
4. Connect the Wincharger flying lead to the cable protruding from the top
of the tower using the connector block supplied, taking care to observe
