INSTALLING BATTERY
CABLES TO ENGINE
1. Attach the red, positive (+) battery
cable to the starter solenoid on engine
(see Figure 7). The starter solenoid is
located directly above the starter on
Model PGH11000IE. This cable is fac-
tory installed.
2. Attach the black, negative (–) battery
cable to the engine block. Use the bolt,
nut, and two washers provided with the
battery cables. Use long mounting
hole on opposite side of engine from
starter solenoid. Attach cable as shown
in Figure 8.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten
positive terminal on starter sole-
noid. Positive terminal could ro-
tate and cut into negative termi-
nal, causing a short.
