Battery Cables and Terminals
The battery Terminals must be kept
clean and tight. A good method to
clean terminals is to use Battery Saver.
If Saver is not available, remove all
corrosion with a wire brush, then
wash with a weak solution of baking
soda or ammonia. Put some petroleum
jelly or light grease on terminals to
prevent corrosion.
Removal and Installation of Battery
To remove the battery, disconnect the battery cables and remove the
battery bracket. When the battery is installed, make sure the cables are
installed on the correct terminals. This is a 12-volt, negative ground
electrical system and must be so connected.
NOTE: When disconnecting the battery, remove the negative cable first
from the battery and reconnect it last for safety reasons.
IMPORTANT: Do not start or operate the engine with the electrical system
not completely connected.
