Page 6: Installation - Inside The Cab
This electrical current has the potential to kill or injure anyone nearby. For safety reasons, a power inverter must always be installed inside the cab, in the luggage compartment under the bed. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -

Page 8: Where To Install The Inverter
The power inverter MUST be installed inside the cab, in the luggage compartment under the bed. 1. Flat on the floor On a vertical steel wall - NEVER IN A CABINET - NEVER IN THE BOOTS STORAGE - NEVER BEHIND THE SEAT © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -
Page 9: Ventilation
If the power inverter is installed on the floor, make sure it is as close as possible to a wall. A protective plate could be installed over it so that this space can serve as additional storage. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -
Page 10: Determining The Best Location
4. The cables should be kept close to the power inverter, but not too close. They need to be easily installed on the inverter’s DC inputs. 5. Be aware of the cylinders used to lift the bed. They must not come into contact with the power inverter or its cables during bed operation. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -

Page 12: Floor Adapters - Hole Saw Drilling
Drill the carpet with a hole saw punch that’s the same size as the cables, and then drill the floor from underneath with the required hole saw for your floor adapters. You’ll get a better finish inside the truck. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -

5. Secure the power inverter firmly to the vehicle using the included bolts and self-locking nuts. Make sure the power inverter is square with the surrounding surfaces before drilling. Your work will look much better! CONTINUED ON P. 2-10 © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... - Page 15 2. Using the included bolts, install the cables to the DC inputs of the power inverter with the correct polarity. Maximum tightening torque is 20 lb-ft. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN...

Page 17: Grounding Verification
1. Using a test lamp, connect a 12 V power source to the grounding bolt on the back panel of the power inverter. If the lamp comes on, the grounding is adequate. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -

DC cables can produce magnetic fields strong enough to interfere with radio communication devices. Tying them together will fuse the positive and negative fields and eliminate most negative effects. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -
Page 23: Cable Routing 3-2
1. Route the power inverter cables to the battery box. Fasten them securely to the chassis of the cab using the metallic clips and self- drilling screws included in the CM installation kit. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... - Page 24 Do not hesitate to use several plastic fasteners to distribute the weight of the cables and to limit the stress on each plastic tie. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN...

Page 25: Batteries - Fuse Holder Installation
Never apply a greasy “protective” product on battery posts. This will attract contaminants, interfere with the quality of the connections, and discharge the batteries. If necessary, use a liquid protective product that dries completely. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -
Page 26: Batteries - Connecting Cables
2. Connexion of the cables must be made in the following order: 1. Positive – 2. Negative A spark may occur when connecting the negative cable. This is normal if the power inverter capacitors are not charged. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -
Page 27: Batteries - Securing Cables
It is preferable to never attach the fuse holder to a battery box wall. The safest location is on top of the batteries. © Tundra International Publication No. TDIW-0417-EN... -
