1. Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.

2. Be particularly careful where you route the
wires.

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

3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the
wiring is correct.

If it is, replace the fuse with a new one with
the same amperage rating as the original.

4. When any fuse is to be replaced, pull out the
fuse (15A) at the rear of the tuner amp unit
and put in a new one (Fig.10).

CAUTION

After the connection, fix the lead by a clamp or
insulation tape for protection.

5. To replace the fuse, release the catch on the
main unit side, remove the old fuse and in­sert the new one. (Figure 11)
