GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT USAGE: The Battery Isolator allows maintenance-free and deep cycle
batteries to be properly charged and also offers dual battery control.
1. IMPORTANT: If you are installing the Isolator on a Toyota (Alternator Group 2) or a
Motorola/Bosch (Aternator Group 3) refer to the special instructions in this manual
before disconnecting any part of the existing system.
2. For optimum system performance, use a battery labeled “Deep Cycle” in the auxiliary
position.
3. Multi-Battery Isolators are designed for alternator systems with negative ground and
batteries of the same nominal voltage. Batteries of differing voltages cannot be
used.
4. Refer to the “Recommended Wire Size/Circuit Breaker” Chart below to determine
