6. CAUTIONS ON WIRING
1. Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.
2. Be particularly careful where you route the
   wires.
   Keep them well away from the engine, and
   exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the
   wires.
3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the
   wiring is correct.
   If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of
   the same amperage rating as the original
   (15A FUSE).
4. To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse of
   the power supply cord and insert the new one.
   (Figure 8)
Note:
• There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let
  the battery side touch other metal parts.


                ACAUTION .
After the connection, fix the cord by a clamp
or insulation tape for protection.
