A WARNING
Keep the battery connections clean,

shorting or arcing and causing an explo-
sion. If the battery mounting system
does not cover the connections, install
covers. Check often to see that connec-
tions stay clean and tight.

tery connections even if they came with
the battery. Wing nuts can loosen and
cause errant warning signals or electrical
system damage.
