WIRING PROVISIONS FOR 12-VOLT BATTERY POWER SUPPLY
Battery power is supplied through two fusible links, one
50 amp and one 65 amp, to three circuit breakers and two control relays
located in the relay center above the accelerator pedal. A 50 amp circuit
breaker feeds power directly from the 50 amp fusible link through a 10
gauge (5.0 mm
2
) blunt cut wire. Two 30 amp circuit breakers supply
power from the 65 amp fusible link through the contacts of the control
relays to 12 gauge (3.0 mm
2
) blunt cut wires. The blunt cut leads are
part of a 5 ft (1.5 m) loop of wire coiled under the instrument panel in
the passenger’s side footwell.
Each relay is opera
ted by an 18 gauge (0.8 mm
2
) blunt cut,
light or dark
blue control lead inc
luded in the 5 ft (1.5 m) coil under the instrument
panel. An 8 gauge (8.0 mm

m) coil. The total current available through the 12-volt power supply is
110 amps (1320 watts).
