DISCLAIMER: INTERNATIONAL DOES NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR CUSTOMER OR BODY BUILDER WIRING. After-market installed wiring for engine speed control must comply with the following guidelines: Sealed switches and connectors must be used for switches and connections that are exposed to the weather or to salt spray emanating from the vehicle's tires. Route and clip wiring to minimize chafing and exposure to weather. Use conduit, loom, and/or tape to achieve this. Fuse all power leads as close to the power source as possible. Remember fuses protect the wiring - size fuses accordingly. All ground connections that will be made to the frame or body must be connected to clean bare metal. Remove all dirt, paint, grease and rust that would insulate the terminal from ground. After connecting the ground, seal the connection with a good quality grease or surface sealant to protect the connection from corrosion. Spliced wires should be twisted together and soldered. Use a heat shrink tube with a meltable inner wall to seal the connection. Do not expose splices to the weather. To avoid serious personal injury, possible death, or damage to the vehicle, make sure the transmission is in neutral, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked before undertaking service procedures. In addition, turn off the engine when you leave the vehicle. Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running. To avoid personal injury, possible death, or damage to the vehicle when adding electrical features, disconnect batteries. Reconnect batteries when installation is complete. Whenever disconnecting battery terminals, always disconnect the ground terminal first. When reconnecting, always connect the ground terminal last. To prevent injury to the eyes, face, limbs and body, it is imperative that lighted materials, flames or sparks be kept away from the vent openings of the battery. The gas mixture in the battery cells, which escapes through the vents, could ignite and/or cause an explosion. This is particularly true when jumper cables are being used. In addition, inhaling of gas produced by the normal operation of the battery could result in partial or permanent damage to the respiratory system. Always wear eye protection when working around batteries. Do not attempt to jump-start a vehicle having a frozen battery because the battery may explode. If a frozen battery is suspected, examine all fill vents on the battery. If ice can be seen, do not attempt to start with jumper cables as long as the battery remains frozen. Thaw out the battery and recharge. Do not check battery condition by shorting (flashing) across terminals. Failure to observe these instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle. Battery cable terminals must be clean and tight. Use hot water and common baking soda for removing terminal corrosion and for cleaning the top of the battery. Brighten the contact surface with steel wool, apply a light coat of lubricant sealing grease such as Fleetrite ® 472141-C1 or equivalent and reassemble. Be sure the terminals are clamped tightly and that the battery is clamped securely in place. When working around the terminals and battery, use extra care to avoid shorting. A good practice is to insulate pliers and screwdrivers.

A warning indicates procedures that must be followed exactly. Personal injury or possible death, along with damage to the vehicle, can occur if the procedure is not followed. A caution indicates procedures that must be followed exactly. If the procedure is not followed, damage to equipment or components can occur. A note indicates an operation, procedure or instruction that is important for correct service. Some procedures require the use of special tools for safe and correct service. Failure to use these special tools when required can cause injury to service personnel or damage to vehicle components.
