PUMA wiring kit <link

The wiring kit includes everything needed to safely wire your PUMA for maximum perfomance
Includes (everything in photo)-
Pre cut #4 wire lengths
Crimped terminal ends
Marine shrink wrapped ends
Bussman Breaker with switched shut off
Anderson connector
Anderson terminal ends installed on the large cable side
All needed hardware

Tools needed –
Drill for ¼” hole in plastic for breaker mounting
10mm wrench
12mm wrench
7/16” wrench
Hammer

1 – Install Bussman breaker on back of battery box as pictured using the included hardware. Once installed press the red button/disconnect. A small lever will drop. Now no power will go past the breaker.

2 – Install the 1’ Red wire on the breaker side marked (BAT.)

3 – Install the other end of the same wire on the positive battery clamp

4 – Locate the large (2”) grommet on the firewall. Good chance there is a hole with space available for your new red power wire.

5 – Start with the Anderson connector end and shove about 1’ it into the grommet.
under the dash

6 – Locate the end under the dash

7 – Remove the kick panel, door sill on both doors and the rear side panel.

8 – Route the power cable down through the kick panel and lay the cable as shown in the picture.

9 – Be careful when routing the cable so it is not subject to damage down the road.

10 – Connect the terminal to the breaker marked AUX.

11 - Connect the negative black cable using the ¼” end to the battery terminal.

12 – Route the open end of the negative cable down in front of the battery to the factory frame bolt shown in the picture and bolt the cable in place using the included short bolt.

Pictured is the negative cable terminated at the front of the frame.

13 – Now to the rear of the 80. Take the last negative cable starting with the Anderson terminal end and shove a 1’ along side the vent tube under the rear panel. (see photo)

14 – Bolt the open terminal end to the side frame bolt using the included long bolt.

15 – With both Anderson terminal ends at the PUMA install the terminal ends into the Anderson connector. Take notice of the (+) & (-) on the connector. The red goes in the (+) side and the black goes in the (-) side. Duh

16 – Locate the loose supplied Anderson terminal ends for the PUMA wiring. Strip about ½” of the insulation off both the red & black wire. Shove the wire into the Anderson terminal lay on something solid and hard. Concrete will work. With the Anderson terminal laying on the ground with the wire shoved it hit the terminal with the hammer to compress it. ONLY hit the end with the wire inside. Make sure it smashed good and check by pulling firmly on the wire and Anderson terminal. If the wire pulls out it was not smash well and now you will feel like a Dummy because you will need to source another Anderson. Additional Anderson terminal is available from me but it my not be worth the ribbing you will get.



NOTE: The connector terminals can only go in one way. The videos show how to get them in and out.

17 – Press the freshly ghetto crimped Anderson terminals into the connector paying attention to the (+) & (-).

18 – Plug the two Anderson connectors together.

19 – Back to the breaker up front. Rotate the small lever up until it locks.

20 – Take the slack out of your cables and route them in a way that they will never be damage down the road Install your kick panel, sill plates, and read panel.


If the lever locks up chances are you did everything right. Turn your PUMA on and give your self a pat on the back.



Airing up with a PUMA-
Always have your 80 running when airing up. Using a throttle lock @ 1600RPMs will speed up air up time.

We ALSO OFFER CUSTOM WIRING, CABLES, CONNECTOR, TERMINALS, AND DESIGN TO FIT YOUR WILDEST ELECTRICAL NEEDS
