damage.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Use only stranded, copper wire rated minimum 75 °C (105 °C for
marine installations). Make sure all DC connections are tight to a
torque of 71–80 in-lb (8–9 Nm) of force. Loose connections will
overheat.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage
.
Follow the procedure given below to connect the battery leads to
the terminals on the DC end. The cables should be as short as
