PREVENTING BATTERY BUCKLING

Tighten nuts on battery clamp until snug.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

When you charge, jump, replace, or otherwise connect bat-
tery cables to the battery, be sure the polarity is correct.
Improper polarity can damage the charging circuit. The
Vantage positive (+) battery terminal has a red terminal
cover.

If you need to charge the battery with an external charger,
disconnect the negative cable first, then the positive cable
before you attach the charger leads. After the battery is
charged, reconnect the positive battery cable first and the
negative cable last. Failure to do so can result in damage to
the internal charger components.

Follow the instructions of the battery charger manufacturer
for proper charger settings and charging time.
