Battery Installation
Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can damage the bat-
tery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance.
Follow the battery charging instructions on page 91 before installing the
battery.
1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Place the battery in the battery holder. Make sure the positive termi-
nal is toward the driver’s side of the vehicle.
3. With conventional batteries, install the battery vent tube (sealed bat-
teries do not have a vent tube). The vent tube must be free of
obstructions and securely installed. Route the tube away from the
frame and vehicle body to prevent contact with electrolyte.
WARNING!
Battery gases could accumulate in an improperly installed vent tube
and cause an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death. Always ensure that
the vent tube is free of obstructions and is securely installed as recommended.
4. On conventional batteries, coat the terminals with dielectric grease
or petroleum jelly.
5. Connect and tighten the red (+) cable first.
6. Connect and tighten the black (-) cable last.
7. Verify that cables are properly routed.
