CAUTION!!!
As a safety precaution the RED wire of this product should be fused before
connecting it to the positive (+) side of switched power source. We recommend
using a 4 Amp, 3AG fast-acting type cartridge fuse (Littlefuse® #312 004 or
an equivalent) inline with the RED wire of our product for tachs that use a
Shift-Lite. For tachs without a Shift-Lite we recommend using a 1Amp 3 AG
fast-acting type cartridge fuse (Littlefuse® #312 001 or an equivalent).
