1. Before charging the capacitor disconnect the ground cable from the battery post 1 Use the included charging discharging resistor and attach one end of the resistor to the capacitor s positive post and the other end to the battery s positive post 2 With the same gauge size as the power cable connect one end to the negative connector of the capacitor and the other end to the chassis ground 3 Reconnect the main ground cable back to the battery s negative post Capacitor will take about 5 minutes to fully charge Note Do not throw away resisotr 4 8 Gauge cables 1 Disconnect the ground cable from the battery post and install an in line fuse for electrical short circuit protection Do not install the fuse between the capacitor and amplifier 2 Connect the main positive wire to the positive connector of the capacitor 3 Connect the main positive wire to the positive connector of the amplifier 4 Reconnect the main ground cable back to the battery s negative post 1 Carefully remove the capacitor from its mounting location 2 Use the included charging discharging resistor and with a pair of short wire leads attach one end of the resistor to the capacitor s positive post 3 Connect the other end of the resistor to the capacitor s negative post Capacitor will take about 5 minutes to fully discharge ALWAYS treat the capacitor as a charged battery NEVER disp2. g consumer The experts and engineers at VM Audio meticulously tested and designed this product with a reasonable price tag to fit any budget Let the Shaker series maximize the value of your investment VM Audio stiffening capacitors are designed to charge and store electric energy The primary function is to discharge instantly to provide a burst of current to an amplifier s power supply during hard hitting bass notes The vehicle s charging system will quickly recharge the capacitor for the next burst of energy Capacitor TTA Screws 4 Mounting Brackets DO Hex Resistor 1 4 Watt 1K ohm Key 1 Positive ring post terminal 2 Negative ring post terminal 3 Charging Status L E D L E D will lit green when capacitor is connected correctly or red when not connected correctly 4 Three digit Voltage Display Display will show the actual voltage in the system Read this User s Manual completely before attempting to install or make any type of connections to the capacitor This capacitor is capable of exploding and causing serious bodily injury or even death if it is not connected properly Under no circumstances should you in any way alter or open the capacitor as this can also Cause injury or death Always follow the proper charging discharging procedures described in this manual Failure to do so may result in serious injury or damage to the capacitor and or vehicle This capaci
