BATTERIES PROCEDURE 10

BATTERY CLAMP METHOD (FIGURES 4, 5 AND 6).

CAUTION

The battery clamp of the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post MUST be mounted in the posi- tion shown in FIGURE 5, otherwise the battery box top cannot be installed properly.

1.Perform one (1) of the following:

A.If the battery clamp of the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post is NOT mounted in the orientation shown in FIGURE 5, perform the following:

●Loosenthehexnutthatsecuresthebatteryclamp to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post.

CAUTION

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 ter- minal/post.

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

2.Install battery clamp covers onto battery cables as follows: (FIGURE 5)

A.RED battery clamp cover ontoRED battery cable.

B.BLACK battery clamp cover onto BLACK bat- tery cable.

NOTE: Only one (1) battery cable and battery clamp cover are shown for clarity. Both battery clamp covers install in the same manner.

3. Connect battery cable(s) to battery(ies) terminal(s)/

post(s) as follows (DETAIL “A”):

A. NEGATIVE (-) BLACK battery cable/ring termi-

nal between the mounting plate and battery clamp

of NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal/post.

B. POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable/ring terminal be-

tween the mounting plate and battery clamp bat-

tery clamp of POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post.

4. Secure the battery cable(s)/ring terminal(s) to the battery

clamp(s), BLACK to NEGATIVE (-) and RED to POSI-

TIVE (+), with exisitng hex screws. Securely Tighten.
