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 battery.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the starter solenoid

3. Connect the battery positive (+) cable to the battery positive
(+) terminal as shown.
4. Connect the battery negative (–) cable to the battery negative
(–) terminal as shown.
