Installation notes
The starter circuit should be switched through the supplied relay, not directly through the push button. Fuse every circuit with a fuse rated for its load, use cable sized for the current, and disconnect the battery before you start. The panel is marked for racing use, so check roadworthy requirements before fitting it to a road car. Ignition and starter wiring is best done by an auto electrician; the Menin Motorsport workshop in Pretoria can fit and wire it for you.
