WARNING
Batteries contain gases that can explode. If the battery vent tube
is pinched or kinked, battery gases could accumulate. Whenever
removing or installing the battery, disconnect the negative (black)
cable first and reinstall the negative cable last to avoid the
possibility of explosion.
Battery electrolyte contains acid. Avoid skin contact with
electrolyte as severe burns may result.
1. Place the battery in its holder. Attach the hold down strap.
2. Install the battery vent line. It must be free from obstructions and
securely installed. Route the vent line properly to prevent kinks
and to allow for proper drainage.
3. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.
