•Keep away sparks, flames, and cigarettes.

•Ventilate area when charging or using battery in an enclosed space.

•Make sure battery vent tube is always open after battery is filled with acid.

Remove metal jewelry before working near the battery or near the electrical system. Failure to comply may cause a short circuit, resulting in electrical burns, a shock, or battery gas explosion.

NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date shown on the top of the battery, charge for a minimum of one hour at 6-10 amps. Refer to the Maintenence section of this manual for more detailed instructions regarding proper battery charging procedure

1.Use a 5/8" long screw (K, Figure 2-18) and 1/4-20 hex nut (L) to connect the positive (+) battery cable (B) to the positive (marked +) battery post (C). Make sure that this is the cable on the left side, with one end attached to the solenoid (D).

2.Slide the black rubber boot (E) com- pletely over the battery post and cable connector.
