a plastic tie wrap. Carefully cut the tie wrap to disen-
gage the battery lead and remove the plastic bag.

Confirm red positive (+) battery lead is securely fas-
tened to the positive (+) post as it may have loosened
during shipping. Place boot over battery post.

Connect the black negative (-) battery lead to the neg-
ative (-) battery post; install bolt, nut, and boot.

Reinstall retaining plate; tighten bolts and nuts.
NOTE:
Actual battery appearance may vary from illustration pro-
vided.
NOTE:
While the engine is running, a small “trickle” charge is
applied to the battery.This keeps an adequate battery
charge.
Battery gases are explosive.
• NEVER allow open flames, lit cigarettes, sparks, or
spark-producing equipment near the battery.
Battery electrolyte fluid is comprised of sulfuric acid,
which can be very dangerous and cause severe
burns.
• NEVER allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, or
clothing. If contact or spillage occurs, immediately flush
the area with water.
Exposed terminals, even on disconnected batteries,
can cause electric shock.
• NEVER touch both battery terminals with bare
hands at the same time.
• Remove rings, watches or any other object
containing metal when working with battery. If
metal comes into contact with battery termi-
nals, electric shock and serious burns can
result.
• Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when
working with or near battery.
• NEVER lay tools or other metal objects on top
of battery.
