NOTE:
Your battery must be kept in good condition. Make sure the battery cables are not drawn across any surfaces which could possibly
damage them. Corrosion on electrical connections will reduce performance or may cause a short circuit. Keep all connections
clean especially in the remote control switch and receptacle. In salty environments use silicon sealer to protect from corrosion.
