Once the components and atomizer have been mounted, and the path to route
the cable has been chosen, the 6-gauge cable can be cut to length allowing a
few extra inches for movement and serviceability. After it is cut, the cable's
insulation should be stripped to expose .375 (3/8") to .500 (1/2") of conductor to
be inserted into the ring terminals at each end. The ring terminals may be
crimped or crimped and soldered to the cable. Suitable crimpers for 6-gauge
cable may be found at an automotive parts store, and a soldering iron of at least
200 watts would be needed to solder the connections using "rosin flux" solder.
Whatever method is chosen, be sure the ring terminals are attached securely.
Note that the ring terminals used to attach the cables to the deep cycle battery on
the atomizer are 2 different sizes. The positive terminal is 3/8" (.375) and the
negative is 5/16" (.337).
The components provided in this kit have been carefully selected to provide
optimum performance, and assure proper operation of the atomizer system.
Failure to use these components as instructed, or substitution of unapproved
parts may result in unsatisfactory or dangerous performance, and will void all
warranties.
• STEP #1 MOUNT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
The breaker should be mounted in the engine compartment using the
hardware provided, in a suitable location near the vehicle battery. The
fender-well is usually ideal, and has the advantage of being an insulator (if it
is plastic) to reduce the likelihood of shorting the ring terminals on the breaker
which will have positive electrical potential.
• STEP #2 ROUTE THE POWER CABLES
Choose the path for your cables carefully. If you decide to run the cable
through holes in the sheet metal of the vehicle, be sure to insulate the sharp
metal edge so that they do not cut the insulation of the cable. Avoid hot
surfaces and rotating parts on the vehicle when selecting your installation
path. Use cable clamps and cable ties to secure cables in place as needed.
