NOTES AND WARNINGS
• Never reverse polarity on battery cables.
• NEVER chassis ground the sPOD’s
negative battery cable. Always attach both
positive and negative accessory wires to
the sPOD.
• Any modifications to any of the sPOD wire
harnesses will void the warranty.
• Although the sPOD system is weather
proof, do not submerge in water. Do not
spray cleaner onto unit or into any
openings. Always use a soft towel or cloth
for cleaning purposes and or compressed
air to dry.
• System will shut down when voltage drops
to 11.2 V (2 minute delay) and requires 12.8
V to reinitialize (start engine).
• Do not tamper, open or remove any
factory-installed components; this will void
the warranty.
• Do not replace 2 amp fuse with any other
rated fuse; this will void the warranty.
• Do not attach any additional electrical
accessories to the battery terminals on the
Bantam; this will void the warranty.
• The Bantam does not require the use of
Relays or Fuses unless the accesory
attached draws more than 30AMPS
• The Bantam employs self healing circuits.
In the event of a short/overload, the circuit
will shut off. Correct the short/overload,
then cycle the switch on and off to reset.
