GENERAL INSTALLATION WARNING

Avoid open sparks, flames or operation of electrical devices near flammable substances.
Always disconnect the battery cables when doing electrical work on your vehicle.

Do not charge the battery with a 24 Volt truck charger or reverse the polarity of the battery
or any charging unit. Do not charge the battery with the engine running as this could
expose the ECU to an unregulated power supply that could destroy the ECU and other
electrical equipment.

All fuel system components and wiring should be mounted away from heat sources,
shielded if necessary and well ventilated. Disconnect the Haltech ECU from the electrical
system whenever doing any arc welding on the vehicle by unplugging the wiring harness
connector from the ECU.

After completing the installation, make sure that there are no fuel leaks, and no wiring
left un-insulated in case a spark or short-circuit occurs and causes a fire. Also make sure
that you follow all proper workshop safety procedures. If you're working underneath
a jacked-up car, always use safety stands!
