DISCONNECTING/CONNECTING BATTERY CABLES

NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cable(s) to contact BOTH
battery post(s) at the same time. An electrical short may occur and serious
personal injury or damage may occur.
The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles or face shields is
recommended when working with batteries.
When tightening the clamps, always use a box wrench. Pliers will "round off"
the nuts. NEVER wiggle the battery terminal(s)/post(s) when tightening. The
battery may become damaged.
The POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable MUST connect to the POSITIVE (+)
battery terminal(s)/post(s), otherwise serious damage will occur to the
electrical system.
