Before You Begin...
1) IT IS BEST TO READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING.
At the very least you should read Section One of the manual and the Appendices relevant to
your installation. The greater your knowledge of the operation of the Haltech system, the
easier you will find it to understand what you are doing, and why. Throughout the manual are
Warnings and Notes that will help your installation run smoothly and indicate the dangers that
can exist for you the installer and the Haltech ECU.
2) Read any additional material accompanying this manual that updates the document since it
was written.
3) You may need special parts or additional tools or test equipment in order to complete
installation. Make sure you have these items on hand before you begin to avoid frustration.
Contact your Haltech dealer if you have difficulty.
4) Don't do the minimum work possible. Carelessness in the early stages of installation can
cause you major headaches later on, be it in a few days or a few months time. Carelessness
will cost you money and frustration in finding and fixing unnecessary problems. You have
the opportunity to make sure your Haltech system's operation is extremely dependable and
easy to use by doing it right the first time.
