Connecting the Battery Cables
California PROPOSITION 65
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals,
and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds, chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
Caution: When attaching battery
cables, always connect the POSITIVE
(Red) wire to its terminal first, followed
by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your
equipment may have been left disconnected from
the terminals at the factory. To connect the battery
cables, proceed as follows:
1. Using the lever on the back of the seat frame, lift
up on the lever and tilt the seat forward locking
it in place with the seat prop. Remove the bolts
and hex nuts from the manual bag.
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is
marked POS. (+) (a). The negative battery
terminal is marked NEG. (–) (b).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable (c) is
already attached, skip ahead to step 4.
2. Remove the red boot (d), if present, from the
positive battery terminal (a) and attach the
red cable (c) to the positive battery terminal
(a) with the bolt (e) and hex nut (f). See
Figure 2-15.
