Altering the Electrical System
Refer to a wiring diagram for your chassis
before adding electrical options to ensure
proper electrical system performance.
WARNING
Do not replace a fuse with a fuse of a
higher rating. Doing so may damage
the electrical system and cause a fire.
Failure to comply may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
WARNING
Never install a circuit breaker/poly-
switch in a location indicated for “fuse
only.” Using a polyswitch (circuit
breaker) in a fuse-only circuit may
cause the circuit to overheat when a
short exists, which could lead to equip-
ment damage and/or personal injury.
NOTE
Polyswitches/circuit breakers are al-
lowed in certain locations as indicated
by the label on the fuse box. In these
applications, a fuse may be used in-
stead of a circuit breaker.
CAUTION
Follow all manufacturers' circuit pro-
tection recommendations for the com-
ponents and wires being added. Fail-
ure to comply may result in equipment
damage.
NOTE
If you are unfamiliar with proper elec-
trical repair practices and procedures,
see your authorized dealer for assis-
tance.
Batteries
Information on maintaining your vehicle's
batteries.
Regular attention to the charging system
will help prolong the service life of the
batteries.
WARNING
Batteries contain acid that can burn
and gasses that can explode. Ignoring
safety procedures may result in death,
personal injury, equipment or property
damage.
WARNING
Never remove or tamper with battery
caps. Ignoring this could allow battery
acid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics, or
painted surfaces. Failure to comply
may result in death, personal injury,
equipment or property damage.
WARNING
Replace only with AGM (Group 31)
batteries. Use of other batteries could
result in acid leaks causing personal
injury in the event of a vehicle acci-
dent. Failure to comply may result in
death, personal injury, equipment or
property damage.
