Slide the heatshrink tubing over the diode and ensure that it will, after being activated, adequately cover the
uninsulated diode leads.
4.
Activate the heatshrink by carefully applying heat to the tubing.
5.
Bundle the wires into the plastic wire conduit and replace any wire ties that were removed when the wires
were traced.

GENERAL INFORMATION
See preceding DANGER statement.
Gasoline vehicles are equipped with 12-volt, low-maintenance batteries. When changing a 12-volt battery in any
gasoline-powered vehicle, the same size battery with adequate amperage ratings should be used as a replacement.
The manufacturer recommends a group 70, side-post battery (CC P/N 103496801) with a 650 cranking amp rating at
32 °F (0 °C), 500 CCA at 0 °F (-17.8 °C) and a reserve capacity of at least 105 minutes. The group 70 classification
indicates battery size: 8-1/4 inches W x 6-1/2 inches D x 7-1/4 inches H (21.0 cm W x 16.5cm D x 18.4 cm H). It is
important to use the proper size to ensure that the battery clamp will fit correctly.
