CAUTION
When connecting the battery cables to the
battery(ies), the battery cable(s) MUST be con-
nected to the battery terminal(s)/post(s) as
shown in DETAIL “A” or DETAIL “B” of FIGURE 3
(depending on battery type), otherwise dam-
age to the battery cable may result when in-

2. Connect battery cable(s) to battery(ies) terminal(s)/
post(s) as follows (DETAIL “A” or DETAIL “B”of FIG-
URE 3, depending on battery type):
A. NEGATIVE (-) BLACK battery cable to NEGA-
TIVE (-) battery terminal/post.
B. POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable to POSITIVE
(+) battery terminal/post.
3. Secure the battery cable(s)/ring terminal(s) to the
battery terminal(s)/post(s), BLACK to NEGATIVE
(-) and RED to POSITIVE (+), with the provided
1/4-20 x 7/8-inch hex flange screw and hex flange
locknut. Securely tighten. (DETAIL “A” or DETAIL

4. Verify all battery cable(s)/ring terminal(s) are correctly
installed and securely tightened.
5. Slide terminal cap(s) down battery cable(s) and onto
battery clamps (FIGURE 3).
6. Secure each terminal cap in place with a tie-wrap
(Use tie-wraps 11-1/2-inches long) (FIGURE 3).
NOTE: It will be necessary to trim excess tie-wrap in order to
install the battery box top(s).
7. Install the battery box top(s).
8. Install the battery box(es) into the wheelchair. Refer
to INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY BOX(ES) in
