CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables on the
battery that you attach the positive cable to the
positive post and the negative cable to the negative
post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and
negative (-) and identified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal posts and
free of corrosion. Apply grease to post and clamps
after tightening. If using a “fast charger” while the
battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle
battery cables before connecting the charger to bat-
tery. Do not use a “fast charger” to provide starting
voltage.
