Nobody here uses a predator? I've read the instructions 4 times and it doesn't say when it's safe to unplug. Says no turning key to OFF position when plugged in. Does that mean when you done using it to unplug it with the key turned on??? Don't wanna fry the pcm or the predator. What do you do when done using it. Unplug when key is on?
