• Be sure to turn the power off before wiring. Be particularly careful where you route the wires.

• Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.

• If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct. If a fuse is blown, replace it with anew one of the same specication as the original.

• To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse of the power supply cord and insert the new one.

Note:

• There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let the battery side touch other metal parts.
