General Installation Precautions
Stop!Read!Proceed!

Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.

Always chock the wheels (4" x 4" or larger) to the front and rear surfaces of the tires before performing any maintenance procedure.

Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle. Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by the procedure.

Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle. If you have a manual transmission, it should be in NEUTRAL unless instructed otherwise for a specific operation.

Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area, or use an exhaust vent system to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide

. Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving parts when the engine is running, especially the fan and belts.

To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe, after-treatment device or muffler.

Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.

To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry, and loose clothing before beginning to work on a vehicle. Tie long hair securely behind the head.

Keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades.

When using electrical hand tools, always use a three prong grounded plug.

If a procedure requires drilling, make sure you check behind/underneath the surface you are drilling for electrical wires, fuel lines, hydraulic lines, etc.

CAUTION: Remember, TEMP-A-START controls the start / stop functions of the tractor engine. To prevent possible down time caused by a dead engine, the following requirements must be strictly observed.

All connections made in the engine compartment and other locations outside the cab must be crimped, soldered and covered with heat shrink tubing.

All heat shrink tubing must be completely and tightly shrunk to prevent possible short circuits. A heat gun designed for this purpose should be used.

NOTE: Do not attempt to use a "hair dryer" heat gun to install heat shrink tubing. These guns do not supply adequate heat for this purpose.

CAUTION: Heat guns used for the installation of heat shrink tubing get very hot, and may damage the wire insulation. Exercise extreme caution to prevent burns or damage to the wire insulation.

All crimped connections made within the cab area must be "pull tested" to verify the integrity of the connection. Be absolutely certain the wire was properly stripped, and that bare wire is not exposed outside the crimp. Also, be sure the connector is crimped on bare wire rather than on the wire insulation.

After the main wiring harness has been positioned, it should be taped and cable tied securely in place. Be certain the harness is protected from heat, abrasion, pinching and sharp edges.

Do not coil up excess wire. Cut to length as required, and discard extra wire. Coiled excess wire can cause false signals in the TEMP-A-START system.
