INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you are not confident you can complete the installation safely, have it completed by a certified technician!
Failure to complete the installation correctly could cause damage to your vehicle and serious injury and/or death to the vehicle operator and passengers!
The following instructions are for the installation of either the M-11000-A50/A75/B50/B75 Ford Racing starters and should be followed exactly.
! ! ! WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL A JUMPER WIRE BETWEEN THE BATTERY TERMINAL AND THE SOLENOID BLADE TERMINAL AT THE STARTER TO AVOID THE USE OF THE # 12 WIRE.
