Take the negative wires coming off of the original

battery and cut them from the distribution mani-
fold. Combine the wires with a lug end terminal
and ground to the engine compartment. With the
supplied black wire attach a lug end terminal to
one end. Attach the terminal to a place on the
chassis.

(Remove all paint and debris from around

the hole to ensure a good electrical connection.)
On the opposite end, cut the wire to length and
connect a battery terminal.

G. Take the battery terminals from the black and red

wire and connect them to their corresponding
terminals on the battery. (See

Fig. 4.)

H. In the engine compartment, on the driver’s side

fender area, use a 1.25” hole saw and make a
hole to mount the remote positive power termi-
nal. (See

Fig. 5.) If properly placed, it will mount

behind the existing box. Now mount the terminal.

Cut the supplied 1/0 red wire long enough to

reach from the remote terminal to the positive
terminal on the battery. On each end crimp a lug
end terminal. Attach one lug to the battery and
one lug to the remote terminal. (See

Fig. 6.)

NOTE: The terminal will need to be a snug

fit.
