Tighten connections to the torque values shown in Table 3, using an
insulated torque wrench and an insulated open-end wrench in counter-
torque, as shown in Figure 1.4.7.
Refer to Table 3 to verify that your hardware is correct for the battery type
being installed. Align cells so the inter-cell connectors match up with the holes
of the terminal posts.
