CONNECTING TO THE BATTERY
1. Identify the polarity of battery posts. The positive battery terminal is
typically marked by these letters or symbol (POS,P,+). The negative battery
terminal is typically marked by these letters or symbol (NEG,N,-).
2. DO NOT make any connections to the carburetor, fuel lines, or thin metal
parts.
3. Identify if you have a negative or positive grounded vehicle. This can be
done by identifying which battery post (NEG or POS) is connected to the
chassis.
• FOR A NEGATIVE GROUNDED VEHICLE (MOST COMMON): connect the
RED POSITIVE clamp first to the positive battery terminal, then connect
the BLACK NEGATIVE clamp to the negative battery terminal or vehicle
chassis.
• FOR A POSITIVE GROUNDED VEHICLE (VERY UNCOMMON): connect the
BLACK NEGATIVE clamp first to the negative battery terminal, then
connect the RED POSITIVE clamp to the positive battery terminal or
vehicle chassis.
4. When disconnecting, disconnect in the reverse sequence, removing the
negative first (or positive first for positive ground systems).
