connect the auxiliary battery cable to the battery.
We started the Metro and ran it for several minutes to get
the charging system up to capacity. We turned on the radio
and ran through preliminary checks as described in the
equipment operating guides first with the amplifier off. We
ran the SG-235 through its paces to get initial antenna match
settings memorized for each band. When a “tuned” indication
appeared for each band, we moved on to high-power tests.

Cadillac
Cadillac installation allowed generous space in the driver’s

Engine compartment. We
routed the auxiliary battery
cable through the firewall by
cutting a small hole in the
steering column rubber boot.
Once pulled through, the cable
attached to the upper side of
the boot cutout to prevent the
flex joint of the steering shaft
from abrading the cable.
(Abraded insulation could
cause a short to ground of the
battery cable.)
We mounted the separator
solenoid on the battery shelf
securing bolt. We carefully rout-
ed all #4 cables away from the
engine fan belts and pulleys.
