WARNING: During installation, incorrect stacking of the
fuse block hardware can create a highly resistive connec-
tion that generates heat. DO NOT place anything (i.e.,
washers) between the fuse and either battery cable
lug as this can cause the fuse to overheat and blow open,
resulting in a partial melting of the fuse holder and cover.
Before stacking, refer to Figure 2.
