Battery Installation

1. Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2. Place the battery in the battery holder.
3. With conventional batteries, install the battery vent tube (sealed bat-
teries do not have a vent tube). The vent tube must be free of
obstructions and securely installed. Route the tube away from the
frame and vehicle body to prevent contact with electrolyte.
Battery gases could accumulate in an improperly installed vent tube and cause
an explosion, resulting in serious injury or death. Always ensure that the vent
tube is free of obstructions and is securely installed as recommended.
4. On conventional batteries, coat the terminals with dielectric grease
or petroleum jelly.
5. Connect and tighten the red (positive) cable first.
6. Connect and tighten the black (negative) cable last.
7. Secure the battery hold-down strap.
8. Reinstall the battery cover (if equipped).
9. Verify that cables are properly routed. Cables should be safely
tucked away at the front and rear of the battery.
10. Reinstall the seat.
