Battery Cable Installation

ALWAYS be sure the battery cables (Figure 41) are properly connected to the battery terminals as shown below. The RED cable is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, and the BLACK cable is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

Figure 41. Battery Connections

CAUTION :

If the battery cable is connected incorrectly, electrical damage to the generator will occur. Pay close attention to the polarity of the battery when connecting the battery.

When connecting battery do the following:

1.ALWAYS make sure that the Off/Manual/Auto switch is in the "OFF" position when connecting the battery. If the generator is equipped with an ignition switch, make sure the ignition switch is in the "OFF" postion and the key is removed.

2.Place a small amount of grease around both battery terminals. This will ensure a good connection and will help prevent corrosion around the battery terminals.
