and hose clamps are tight, all removed drain plugs have been
installed and are tight.
Reversing the battery cables or connection order will damage
the electrical system. When installing the battery, be sure to
connect the positive (+) battery cable to the positive (+) battery
terminal first, and the negative (–) battery cable to the negative
(–) battery terminal second.
2. Install a fully‑charged battery. Clean the battery cable clamps
and terminals and reconnect cables. Tighten each cable
clamp securely when connecting.

agent.
4. Perform all checks in Operation Chart in the
