the following applies regarding connection of the
cables:
• During removal. First disconnect the black ca-
ble from the battery's negative terminal (-).
Then disconnect the red cable from the battery's
positive terminal (-).
• During installation. First connect the red cable
to the battery's positive terminal (+). Then con-
nect the black cable to the battery's negative ter-
minal (-).
If the cables are disconnected/connect-
ed in the wrong order, there is a risk of
a short-circuit and damage to the bat-
tery.
If the cables are interchanged, the gen-
erator and the battery will be damaged.
Tighten the cables securely. Loose ca-
bles can cause a fire.
The engine must never be driven with
the battery disconnected. There is a risk
of serious damage to the generator and
the electrical system.
