ACURA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The following instruction is designed to assist the technician or customer in the basic
steps of installing Acura products and makes the assumption that commonsense and
previous experience will aid in the installation. Safety and caution must always take
precedence in the installation of any electrical or mechanical system. The correct tools,
parts, fasteners, safety equipment as well as any instructions, diagrams and schematics
must be gathered, reviewed or made available prior to beginning the process of
installation.
The installer is required to prepare in advance the work area and see that the electrical or
mechanical needs of the project are in place before starting and that any other possible
interference are addressed. A review of the Installation Check List is critical since this

the Customer file. All projects require the filling out of appropriate forms or else warranty
