WARNING:
Risk of Fire. Do not replace any vehicle fuse with a rating higher than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This product is rated to draw 12 amperes from 13.8V vehicle outlets. Ensure that the electrical system in your vehicle can supply this product without causing the vehicle fusing to open. This can be determined by making sure the fuse in the vehicle which protects the outlet is rated higher than 12 amperes. Information on the vehicle fuse ratings are typically found in the vehicle operator’s manual. If a vehicle fuse opens repeatedly, do not keep replacing it. The cause of the overload must be found. Fuses should not be patched up with tin foil or wire as this may cause serious damage elsewhere in the electrical circuit or cause fire.
