Battery Battery Installation MAINTENANCE 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. 4. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last. 5. Verify that cables and vent hose are properly routed. 123
