Battery Installation
NOTE:
Always install a fully charged battery. Using a new battery that has not been fully charged can
damage the battery and result in a shorter life. It can also hinder vehicle performance. If
recharging is necessary, use a .5 amp battery charger.
1. Place the fully charged battery in the mounting bracket.
2. Reinstall the battery plate and tighten the two nuts securely to retain the battery in the
mounting bracket.
3. Connect and tighten the red (+) cable first. Connect and tighten the black (-) cable last.
Torque the battery terminal bolts to 3.5 ft. lbs. (4.7 Nm).
4. Install the mounting bracket and battery to the vehicle. Tighten the three bolts.
5. Verify that battery cables are properly routed.
Battery Storage
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more, remove the battery
from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place.
Check battery voltage each month during storage. Recharge as needed to maintain a full
charge.
