When disconnecting the battery leads from
the battery, be sure to disconnect the nega-
tive battery lead first, then the positive bat-
tery lead. If a tool or similar item contacts
the vehicle while only the negative battery
lead is connected, a spark could be gener-
ated, which is extremely dangerous.
TIP
If a battery lead is difficult to disconnect due to
rust on the battery terminal, remove the rust
using hot water.

Be sure to connect the battery leads to the
correct battery terminals. Reversing the
battery lead connections could damage the
electrical components.
