ing holes on the vehicle chassis, be
careful never to damage the gasoline
tank, piping, electric wiring or other
parts of the vehicle.
(Otherwise fire hazard may result.)
Do not pull the cord.
When you remove the connector, please
remove and lock it with the connector
main part, without pulling the cord.
Otherwise disconnection of a cord and
poor contact may result.
Do not cut insulation tube in the middle
of a power cord.
Do not use power cord for other prod-
ucts by cutting insulation tube in the
middle of a power cord.
(Otherwise a shorting accident* may
occur, which could result in fire acci-
dent.)
Do not open the back and top covers of
the product or modify it.
(This may lead to fire hazard or other
accident.)
• For inspection and servicing, consult
your dealer or nearest KENWOOD ser-
vice agent or distributor.
• Servicing by the user may lead to fire
hazard or other accidents.
Use a fuse with the specified rating.
When the fuse is blown, first ensure that
there is no short-circuiting* between the
wired cords, then replace with a new
fuse with the capacity (Ampere value)
specified on the fuse box.
(Using other fuse than specified may
lead to fire hazard.)
• For fuse replacement, refer to the
owner's manual of your vehicle.
Please check the spec.
Use provided parts for installation.
Be sure to install a product using pro-
vided parts. When parts other than the
provided ones are used, a product may
fall off and hit the passenger while driv-
ing, causing injury or product breakage.
Inspect the vehicle after installation.
After installation of the product, be sure
to check that the brake lamps, head
lamps, direction indicators, windshield
wipers, power window, etc. of the vehi-
cle function normally.
(If any of the vehicle functions are dam-
aged due to incorrect wiring , etc., traf-
fic accident may result. )
Remove battery connection before work.
Before installing or wiring anything, be
sure to remove the cable from the nega-
tive terminal of the battery.
(Otherwise a shorting accident* may
occur, which could result in fire acci-
dent.)
Remove negative terminal.
Use proper tools for the processing
objects.
When tightening a bolt or nut, always be
sure to use the tool matching its size. If
the securing torque of a part is speci-
fied, be sure to secure it with the speci-
fied force.
(Otherwise the bolt or nut may be dam-
aged or detached during use.)
Wrap cords with protective tape.
The cords near metallic parts of the
vehicle should be protected against
sharp edge of the metallic parts by
wrapping insulating tape around them.
(If a cord is damaged, electric shock or
short-circuiting* as well as fire hazard
may result.)
* Short-circuiting and shorting accident
Short-circuiting refers to the direct connection between the positive and negative poles of electricity. This may occur when a stripped cord (electric wiring) comes in
contact with another cord or metallic part of vehicle. Short-circuiting may produce spark, which may be caught by surrounding objects and result in fire hazard.

"The power to twist something" is called "torque."
Two persons grip each end of one bat, and twist in opposite direction, respectively. In this case, the person with the
thick bat side is more advantageous.
Thus, even if using the same force, turning something with a large radius will have larger twisting strength, or torque.
[Bolting torque of a screw] ; The power in which an adult tightens a
screw normally using an ordinary screwdriver is 1-2N·m (0.1-0.2kgf·m).
[Bolting torque of a bolt] ; The torque when tightening a bolt by 25kg
power using a wrench is 49N·m (5kgf·m).
