Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake orhydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.7) Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides thebest protection.8) Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic gromments to protectany wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.9) ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Installthe appropriate fuseholder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18" (45.7cm) of thebattery terminal.10) When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure agood, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible andalways be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle. |
