IMPORTANT NOTES – READ THIS!
Note 1: We recommend using Dielectric Grease on all connections to help prevent corrosion on the terminals.
Note 2: Avoid exposing the Control Box to environments where static charges may exist. For example, quickly
removing a sled cover from the sled in a dry environment can create a static spark that will damage the box (especially if
box is mounted on handlebars).
Note 3: The Control Box is sealed – do not take it apart or it will no longer be sealed. The Control Box is designed to be
splash-proof. Do not submerge or subject the box to high-pressure spray. During long periods of non-use it is
recommended that you do not leave the control box exposed to the elements.
Note 4: If the headlights have been removed (hood is removed or aftermarket hood is used), the electrical system can
cause interference with the Control Box. In some cases, the sled’s computer may become damaged! We recommend
and sell a 100W power resistor that can be used to place a sufficient load on the electrical system to avoid this condition.
Note 5: Always use Resistor Spark Plugs! Non-resistor plugs will cause electrical interference with the Control Box.
II. Control Box Harness Connectors
The Control Box will plug directly into the factory injector connectors. There is also an unused connector for the optional
Nitrous wiring harness or for the battery jumper (see below).
Note: We recommend using Dielectric Grease on all connections to help prevent corrosion on the terminals.
III. Battery / Jumper Connector
The supplied Battery/Jumper Connector has a dual purpose. It
can function as a battery connector in order to supply voltage to
the Control Box when the engine is not running, and it can
function as a jumper in order to bypass the Control Box.
1. Battery Connector
The Control Box is designed to operate without a battery – the
box will turn itself on whenever power is applied for the fuel
injectors. However, a 9-volt battery (not included) can be
plugged into the box through the Control Box’s connectors with
the supplied battery / jumper connector in order to operate the
box without the sled running. This battery connector plugs into
the Control Box’s nitrous connector (refer to picture below).
Secure the battery to the connector with a zip tie in order to
provide a strain relief for the 9-volt connector. The battery can
also be secured to part of the harness if it is to be used on the sled while it is running.
The battery connector can be left plugged in during engine operation, but the nitrous harness (if used) cannot be plugged
into the Control Box. The battery will eventually drain if left connected to the box, so it is best to disconnect the battery
when not in use.
2. Jumper Connector
The Battery/Jumper connector can also be used to bypass the Control Box in case the sled needs to be run without the
Control Box. Disconnect the Control Box from the EFI harness and plug in the Jumper connector - the injectors are now
connected directly to the sled’s ECU.
