BATTERIES

PROCEDURE 11

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 4, 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 4, perform the following:

Loosen the hex nut that secures the battery clamp 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 onto RED 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.

CAUTION

Whenconnectingthebatterycable/ringterminal(s) to the battery(ies) clamp(s), the battery cable(s) MUST be connected in the position shown in DETAIL “A”, otherwise damage may occur to the battery cable and/or battery clamp covers.

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 existing hex screws. Securely Tighten (DETAIL “A”).

5.Verify battery cable ring terminal(s) are correctly installed and securely tightened.

6.Slidebatteryclampcoversdownbatterycablesandonto battery terminals (DETAIL “B”).

7.Secure each terminal cap in place with a tie-wrap (Use tie-wraps 11-1/2-inches long) (DETAIL “B”).

NOTE: It will be necessary to trim excess tie-wrap in order to install the battery box top(s).

8. Install the battery box top(s).
