Tools Needed
4.Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.
5.For safety, disconnect the battery ground cable prior to beginning the installation process.
6.Never run wires underneath the vehicle. The cleanest, safest wiring connections are made by running the wire under the carpet or behind the side panels. Never leave wires exposed.
7.Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use grommets to protect wires routed through holes in metal.
8.ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from shorts with proper fusing. A fuse holder and fuse must be installed within 18” (46cm) of the battery terminal to safeguard from possible damage or in- jury.
9.Grounding connections should be as short as pos- sible and always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle.
The following is a list of tools you will need for installing the Punch amplifier:
7/64" & 3/32" Allen Wrenches (included)
Wire Strippers | Wire Cutters |
Battery Post Wrench | Voltmeter |
Electric Hand Drill with assorted bits | Wire Crimpers |
BATTERY AND CHARGING
Punch amplifiers will naturally put an extra load on your battery and charging system. We recommend you check your alternator capacity to ensure ample charging capa- bility to handle the additional load of your new Punch equipment. Stock electrical systems in good condition should typically handle the extra load of any individual Punch unit without problems. If problems arise, we sug- gest you first check the charging system, then use a heavy duty battery and/or a high output alternator as needed.
