When tightening the clamps, always use a box wrench. Pliers will “round off” the nuts. NEVER wiggle the battery terminal(s)/post(s) when tightening. The battery may become damaged.

●Remove the battery clamp from the POSI- TIVE (+) battery terminal/post.

●Reposition the battery clamp on the POSI- TIVE (+) battery terminal/post as shown in FIGURE 4.

●Securely tighten the hex nut that secures the battery clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal/post.

B.If the battery clamp on the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post is positioned as shown in FIGURE 4, proceed to STEP 2.
