Battery Installation and Connections
To avoid the possibility of explosion, always connect battery cables in the order
specified. Red (positive) cable first; black (negative) cable last. An exploding
battery can cause serious injury or death.
Battery terminals and connections should be kept free of corrosion.
If cleaning is necessary, remove the corrosion with a stiff wire brush. Wash with a
solution of one tablespoon baking soda and one cup water. Rinse well with tap
water and dry off with clean rags. Coat the terminals with dielectric grease or pe-
troleum jelly.
Be careful not to allow cleaning solution or tap water into the battery.
