I just read in the manual that it shouldn't be used in enclosed spaces. I imagine because of gasses or something and a spark happening. And because I come drive it every couple weeks I don't want to disconnect the battery ground, just want to hook it up and go. I've had it on now for a couple weeks and seems to be fine. Thanks!
