BATTERY CABLE CONNECTIONS

1. Connect the battery cable from the battery post or termi

nal 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 30).

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 gener
ator base. Connect the negative cable to the frame
ground of the chassis.

3. Connect cables so the connectors are clean and tight.

BATTERY COWPARTMENT

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.
