INSTALLING & CONNECTING THE POWER CABLE
Thule NV recommends that you connect the power cable to the fuse box or terminal block and
not directly to the battery;
Choose the safest and shortest installation route for the power cable.
Shorten the power cable as required.
Caution
Only use cable clips that are suitable for the diameter of the power cable for the connection to
the fuse box, terminal block or battery. If the wrong terminals are used, it could cause a voltage
drop and increase heat formation at the terminal.
Use the correct fuse to the connection with the vehicle's power supply according the wiring
diagram and according EN 1648-1 & EN 1648-2.
Caution
Installing the wrong fuse can cause cable fire in case of a short circuit or malfunction!
If the length of the supplied power cable is not sufficient, the connection cable must be replaced
with a new connection cable with a larger cable diameter.
Thule NV is not responsible for any misprints.
