7. CAUTIONS ON WIRING

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. To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse of
the power supply lead and insert the new
one. (Figure10)
