CYCLONE & ATOM INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Make a small splice on the black and red power wires. Solder
the power capacitor’s negative lead to the splice on the black
power wire. Solder the power capacitor’s positive lead to the
splice on the red power wire.
Slide the included large heat shrink tubing over the capacitor
and connection. This will protect the capacitor from vibration
and the capacitor’s leads from short-circuiting.

4. INSTALL POWER WIRES

The Cyclone comes with Super-Flex 12™ gauge power wires
and the Atom comes with 14 gauge power wires which
solder onto low-resistance Solder Posts. With the use of
Solder Posts, you can change what gauge power wire is used,
the position of the wires, and replace the wires with ease.
Sets containing blue, red, and black pre-tinned wires are
available in Novak Kits #5507 for 14G, #5517 for 16G, and
#5537
for Super-Flex 12™.
