actual battery terminals of the vehicle. When available, always connect to unswitched terminals in the vehicle
fuse panel, after providing proper fusing.
ATTENTION: For uninterrupted power, electrical supply connections should not be made at any point
after the ignition switch of the vehicle.
15. Use proper electrical and mechanical fastening means for terminating the cable. Properly sized "crimp" type
electrical terminals are an accepted method of termination. Select electrical connectors sized for use with
2
18AWG (1mm ) conductors.
16. Provide mechanical support for the cable by securing it to the vehicle structure at approximately one foot inter-
vals, taking care not to over tighten and pinch conductors or penetrate the outer cable jacket.
