Whenever working on the vehicle, it is recommended to disconnect the battery
prior to starting work. Failure to do so may lead to a risk of electric shock
or equipment damage.
When connecting power and ground wires ensure that the red power wire is fused
at the point where it is connected to the vehicle’s battery. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the vehicle if a short circuit develops between the
