INSTALLATION
1. Clean battery cables and terminals with a stiff wire
brush. Corrosion can be removed using a solution
of one cup water and one tablespoon baking soda.
Rinse well with clean water and dry thoroughly.
2. Route the cables correctly.
3. Reinstall battery, attaching positive (+) (red) cable
first and then the negative (-) (black) cable. Coat
terminals and bolt threads with Nyogel
t
Grease
(PN 2871329)
.
4. Install clear battery vent tube from vehicle to battery
vent.
WARNING:
Vent tube must be free from
obstructions and kinks and securely installed. If not,
battery gases could accumulate and cause an
explosion. The vent tube should be routed away
from frame and body to prevent contact with
electrolyte. Avoid skin contact with electrolyte, as
severe burns could result. If electrolyte contacts the
vehicle frame, corrosion will occur.
5. Reinstall the holder strap.
