BATTERY AND BATTERY
CONNECTIONS
Check battery connections frequently. Periodically
remove battery to clean and service connections.
•
Confirm that battery meets the minimum engine
requirements.
•
Connections must be clean and tight.
•
Observe all wiring connections prior to disas-
sembly.
Disconnect battery negative (–) cable
first
and the
battery positive (+) cable last.
Clean all terminals, battery posts, and connectors
with a solution of baking soda and water. Use a
wire brush or battery terminal tool to remove cor-
rosion buildup. Rinse and clean all surfaces.
IMPORTANT:
Connect the battery positive (+)
cable to the battery positive (+) post FIRST. Con-
nect the battery negative (–) cable to the battery
negative (–) post LAST.
Install a starwasher on the threaded battery post.
Stack cables from the outboard, then cables from
accessories. Finish this connection with a hex nut.
Do not use wing nuts to fasten ANY
battery cables. Wing nuts can loosen and
cause electrical system damage not covered
under warranty.
Tighten all connections securely. Apply
Triple-
Guard
grease to prevent corrosion.
WARNING
Keep the battery connections clean, tight,
and insulated to prevent their shorting or
arcing and causing an explosion. If the bat-
tery mounting system does not cover the
connections, install protective covers.
Check often to see that connections stay
clean and tight.
