Battery Connections for Electric Starter
Use a 12-volt battery with an ampere-hour rating of at least 18 Ah.
Be careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this will short circuit the
battery charging system. Always connect the positive (+) battery cable to the battery
terminal before connecting the negative (-) battery cable, so your tools cannot cause a
short circuit if they touch a grounded part while tightening the positive (+) battery cable
end.
1. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the starter solenoid terminal as shown.
2. Connect the battery negative (-)cable to an engine mounting bolt, frame bolt, or
other good engine ground connection.
3. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the battery positive (+) terminal as shown.
4. Connect the battery negative (-) cable to the battery negative (-) terminal as shown.
5. Coat the terminals and cable ends with grease.
