Installation Precautions
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS: VERY IMPORTANT
It is important to take some precautions before downloading, changing settings, or returning to
stock. These precautionary steps to installing the Power Pup™ will help ensure that downloads
are successful.
1. Before installation, always update the Power Pup™ online using our Update Agent. The Power Pup™ is an
online program that loads the latest vehicle programs from our web site to the Power Pup.
2. Only install during recommended install time. (Monday-Thursday 8am-3pm Mountain Standard Time)
3. Do not install while the vehicle is in a remote location or when the vehicle is immediately needed for transportation. In the unlikely event that installation fails, the installer may need resources such as computer access
and internet access to complete installation.
4. Allow up to one hour for installation. The Power Pup™ easily installs in under 30 minutes. However, allocate at
least an hour for installation in case any problems are encountered during installation.
5. Before installation, always make sure that the batteries have a full charge. It is even a good idea to have a battery charger nearby in case the batteries start draining. If the batteries loose their charge during a download,
the download will fail.
6. Before installation, turn o all electronics inside the vehicle including: headlights, heater, air conditioning,
stereo, any DVD players, etc. Failing to turn o all electronics may can prevent a successful download.
7. During installation it is very important that the Power Pup™ is not disrupted. If the download is disrupted the
vehicle may not start and the download process must be restarted. In worst case scenarios the Power Pup™
will have to perform a recovery process which adds even more time to the installation process.
The information above is extremely important to successful use of the Power Pup
IMPORTANT
It is not recommended that this product be used in conjunction with any other electronic module or downloader
that is intended to increase horsepower.
Performance products must always be removed before taking the vehicle in for any kind of service. The Bully Dog
software will be lost if an OEM scan tool is used to reflash the engine computer.
