Battery Connections For Electric Starter - Honda GX610 Owner's Manual

TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION
Battery Connections
Use a 12-volt battery with an ampere-hour rating of at least 35 Ah.
Be careful not to connect the battery in reverse polarity, as this will short circuit
the battery charging system. Always connect the positive (+) battery cable to
the battery terminal before connecting the negative (-) battery cable, so your
tools cannot cause a short circuit if they touch a grounded part while tightening
the positive (+) battery cable end.
A battery can explode if you do not
follow the correct procedure, seriously
injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and
smoking materials away from the bat-
tery.
1. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the starter solenoid terminal as
