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.
