Installation / Setup
The installation of the 6 volt rear mount cable kit involves wiring a 24-pin power connector to match the vehicle’s polarity, using specific wire types and connections as detailed in the instructions. The ground lead is a 2-foot #8 stranded wire, and the hot lead is an 18-foot #4 stranded wire with specific connections for negative or positive ground systems. The transmitter filament lead is a 17-foot #14 wire. Proper soldering and use of jumpers with bare #16 wire insulated with provided sleeving are required. Cables should be routed to the front of the vehicle, secured with clamps, and protected with sleeving if necessary. The power cable should be fed through the firewall, and the fuse block and primary power relay should be mounted close to the battery. The primary power cable ground lead should be connected to the car body near the communications unit. All connections should be mechanically and electrically secure to prevent voltage drops.

Safety & Warnings
Make special effort to ensure good mechanical and electrical connections at all points in the power wiring. Voltage drops that would be insignificant in higher voltage equipment will cause a considerable loss of power in a 6 volt system. Solder all connections. If mechanical connections must be used, ensure mating surfaces are clean before assembly. Do not use replaceable link fuses. Fuse clip clamps, such as Buss Clip Clamp #1, are highly recommended in areas of high vibration or corrosive atmosphere. Use caution in drilling through the trunk floor to avoid puncturing the gas tank.
