In-Line Fuse Installation
IMPORTANT: The in-line fuse must be located in an accessible location
as close to the battery as possible while keeping it from directly touching
or laying on the battery.
1. Cut one in-line fuse wire to a maximum length of 12.00 in. (305 mm)
and strip 0.50 in. (12 mm) from the end.
2. Slide the heat shrink tubing onto the wire and position it away from the
connection.
3. Securely crimp and solder the correct size ring terminal onto the wire.
4. Position the heat shrink tubing over the body of the terminal and the
wire and then apply heat.
5. Cut the other end of the in-line fuse wire and the unit's power (2) wire
to appropriate lengths and strip 0.50 in. (12 mm) from the ends of each
wire.
6. Slide the heat shrink tubing onto one wire and position it away from the
connection.
7. Using the supplied butt splice connector, securely crimp and solder the
two wires together.
8. Position the heat shrink tubing over the entire connection and then
apply heat.
9. Attach the ring terminal onto the positive (+) battery lug and tighten
securely.

positive battery cable with the supplied cable ties.
The in-line fuse should be positioned vertically to help promote
water drainage.
Fuses mounted horizontally must have the slit in the sleeving
pointing downwards.
Cable ties should be positioned within 5.00 in. (127 mm) on each side of
fuse as shown and no further than 10.00 in. (254 mm) apart.
