Connecting the Battery Cables
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION:
connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal first,
followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire.
For shipping reasons, both battery cables on your equipment may
have been left disconnected from the terminals at the factory. To
connect the battery cables, proceed as follows:
1. Using the lever on the back of the seat frame, lift up on the lever
and tilt the seat forward locking it in place with the seat prop.
NOTE: The positive battery terminal is marked Pos. (+). The
negative battery terminal is marked Neg. (–).
NOTE: If the positive battery cable is already attached, skip
ahead to step 2.
2. Remove the red boot, if present, from the positive battery
terminal and attach the red cable to the positive battery
terminal (+) with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-15.
3. Position the red boot over the positive battery terminal to
insulate it and help protect it from corrosion.
4. Attach the black cable to the negative battery terminal (–)
with the bolt and hex nut. See Figure 3-15.
NOTE: If the battery is put into service after the date
shown on top/side of battery, charge the battery prior to
operating the machine.
