tached to the positive post and the nega-
tive cable is attached to the negative post.
Battery posts are marked positive (+) and

tery case. Cable clamps should be tight on
the terminal posts and free of corrosion.

If a “fast charger” is used while the battery
is in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle
battery cables before connecting the char-
ger to the battery. Do not use a “fast
charger” to provide starting voltage.

mended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For
