BAHERY CABLE CONNEaiONS
1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or terminal
indicated by a POSITIVE, POS or (+) to the large lug on
the starter contactor as indicated in Figure 31.
2. Connect the battery cable from the battery post indicated
by a NEGATIVE, NEG or (—) to the frame ground connec­
tion (Figure 31).
NOTE: If the generator compartment is grounded to
the vehicle chassis, you need not connect a NEGA­
TIVE battery cable to the frame ground on the genera­
tor base. Connect the negative cable to the frame
ground of the chassis.
3. Connect cables so the connections are clean and tight.
BAHERY COMPARTMENT
Install the generator battery in its own, vented com­
partment. Place the battery compartment away from
any source of heat, sparks or flame.
Provide ventilation openings in the battery compart­
ment. The minimum size of openings should be 2
square inches at the top of the compartment. Mount
the battery on a strong, rigid supporting structure,
where leaks and spills of battery fluid will not cause
damage.
