Before Getting Started...Pleasereadandreviewtheentireinstallationmanualbeforeproceeding.Theinstructionsareageneralguideasplacementoptionsandconfigurationwillvarybyvehicle.Before Cutting or Drilling:
• Lay out all of the large parts to determine optimal placement in truck especially taking into account the length of cables. Also, check exterior of truck for obstructions to cutting and drilling.
• Airbox placement needs 4-5" of clearance if it is necessary to have a 90º bend in the air duct hose.
• Any holes drilled in the exterior, exposed wood or composite flooring must be sealed with silicone (not included) to protect from outside elements.
• If the interior storage compartments are sealed then interior holes must be drilled to help circulate warm airflow to batteries for maximum efficiency and life.
Cable Care and Safety:
• When connecting cables to batteries ensure there is a good connection and protect with a commercial protectant spray (not included).
• Make sure zip ties are tight to reduce friction and keep all cabling away from sharp metal.
• Make sure any holes for electrical or battery cables have grommets installed to protect the integrity of the cables from vibrational wear.

CONTROL BOX WIRING1
CONTROL BOX PLACEMENT11. Mount the Control Box on vertical surface allowing access to spade terminals.
2. Do not block Control Box fan intake or exhaust grill or the Control Box will overheat.
3. Mount for easy access to Shore Reset and for AC Power Reset circuit breakers.
4. Allow at least 2" inch clearance for safe wire pass through after installing back plate.
5. If mounting the Control Box to bare sheet metal use the 3/4" Self-driller screws.
6. If mounting the Control Box to multiple layers of materials such as sheet metal, carpet, plywood, etc. use the 1" 1/4 diameter bolts and nylon nuts.
