DangerEnsure that the vehicle will remain stationary and turn off the engine before
installing this product. Failure to do so could result in a fire, and could makethe vehicle move during installation.
Remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the negative (-) battery
terminal prior to installation of this product. Failure to do so could result ina fire caused by an electrical short circuit.
Take care not to install this product in a way that interferes with safety equipment such as seat belts and air bag systems or vehicle operation equipment
such as engine controls, steering wheel and brake systems. Interferencewith normal operation of the vehicle can result in an accident or fire.
Solder or use a solderless connector for wiring connections and make sureconnections are insulated. In areas where there could be tension or sudden impacts on the wiring, safeguard the wiring with corrugated tubing orother shock absorbent material. Accidental shorts can cause fires.
While wiring power supply wire, to avoid the risk of electrical shock or fire,be sure to confirm that there is no disconnection or breakage of wire. Poor
connection can result in short-circuit, electrical shock, fire, or other hazards.
The ignition-switched +12V(IGN) line must be connected to the vehicle's
ignition-switched wire with a fuse of 30A or less. High-capacity fuse(morethan 30A) will not blowout even with an abnormal current flow and may
cause fire.
Discontinue use of this product if a blowout of the fuse has occurred. Continued use while the condition exists could result in an accident, fire, or
damage to the vehicle.
Use the tube fuse of regulated capacity when the fuse of the power wire ischanged. Using a fuse that exceeds regulated capacity may cause fire.
Do not install the product in wet places. It may result in a fire caused by anelectrical short circuit.
Discontinue use of this product if the product doesn't operate or operates
improperly. Continued use while the condition exists could result in an accident or damage.
