Installation:
Note: When routing wires, it
is very important that you
choose a path that will keep
the wires away from any
excessive heat or any vehicle
equipment
that
could
compromise the integrity of
the wires (ex. trunk lids, door
jams, etc.).
Note: Permanent
mounting
of this product will require
drilling.
It
is
absolutely
necessary to make sure that
no other vehicle components could be damaged by this process.
Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting. If
damage is likely, select a different mounting location.
1.
Position the unit onto its mounting location. Draw a pencil line onto
the mounting surface along the top and bottom of the extrusion
and a "centerline" centered between the two.
2.
Four 13/64" holes are required to mount this unit. These holes may
be located anywhere along the horizontal centerline that you drew
in step one. It's best to locate the holes as far apart as possible.
Mark the hole locations onto the mounting surface.
3.
Using a #9 drill bit, drill a hole in each of the hole locations marked.
4.
Remove the endcap and slide the hex-head mounting bolts
(included) into any one of the three channels provided on the
extrusion (use the top, rear or bottom channel depending on which
position you wish to mount the unit) and reinstall the endcap.
5.
Align these bolts with the 4 mounting holes and insert them into
the mounting holes.
6.
Install a flat washer and elastic stop nut onto each bolt and tighten.
Wiring:
WARNING: All customer supplied wires that connect to the posi-
tive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply at least 125%
of the maximum operating current and FUSED at the battery to
carry that load. DO NOT USE CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS
PRODUCT!
