4. Check and clean the battery rack and hold-downs. The nuts and bolts on the hold-downs may corrode.
It is therefore advised they be cleaned periodically and replaced as necessary.
5. Install batteries in the proper orientation
(Figure 14-1, 14-2, or 14-3 on Page 14-3)
. Install battery hold-
downs. Tighten to 55 in-lb (6.2 N·m), alternating between hold-down bolts. The hold-downs should be
tight enough so batteries do not move while vehicle is in motion, but not so tight as to crack or buckle bat-
tery case.
6. Install wires in proper sequence
(Figure 14-1, 14-2, or 14-3 on Page 14-3)
. Install black wire to negative
post of battery no. 8 last. Make sure all connections are tight. Tighten to 110 in-lb (12.4 N·m). Coat all ter-
minals with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CC P/N 1014305) to minimize future corrosion.
7. Give the batteries a full charge prior to operation. This ensures all the batteries are fully charged and the
cells are equalized prior to use.
